What are the eligibility criteria for the Skimlinks Growth program?

To maintain high network quality, Skimlinks requires all merchants to meet specific technical and performance standards, including active affiliate network integration and deep-linking capabilities, before joining our Growth program.

Essential Technical Requirements

Your brand must meet these three technical criteria to be approved:

• Supported Network: You must have an active program on an affiliate network. (e.g., Awin, CJ, Impact).
• Approved Status: You must approve Skimlinks (Skimbit Ltd) as a publisher within that network.
• Deep-linking Enabled: Your network settings must allow publishers to create deep links to any page on your store.

Performance & Quality Standards

We look for brands that offer value to our publisher network:

• Active Sales: Your program should ideally show a history of clicks and sales in your network.
• Professional Site: Your website must be fully functional, secure (HTTPS), and feature clear product information.
• Compliance: We do not accept brands that promote illegal activities, hate speech, or adult content.

Resolution: Should you apply now?

To avoid a rejection and save time, please verify:

• Is your program live in a network? If no, please join e.g. Awin, CJ, or Impact first.
• Can we deep-link to your products? If no, our technology cannot monetize your traffic.
• Is your site fully public? We do not approve sites that are "Under Construction" or password-protected.

Final Status: If you cannot check all three points, please do not submit your application yet. Work on these requirements first to ensure an automated approval later.
