To offer an exclusive or higher commission rate to Skimlinks publishers, you must configure the rate directly within your affiliate network dashboard (e.g., Rakuten, CJ, Impact). Skimlinks will automatically synchronize the new rate via API and display it to our publishers within 48 hours.
How it works: The Synchronization Flow
Understanding how Skimlinks receives your rate updates prevents confusion:
- Source of Truth: Your affiliate network is where all financial terms are hosted.
- Automatic Sync: Our system polls your network daily for any changes to the Skimlinks (Skimbit) commission structure.
- Publisher Visibility: Once synced, the exclusive rate is highlighted to our 60,000+ publishers in the Publisher Hub.
Step-by-Step by Network
- Impact: Create a "Template Contract" or "Special Terms" for Skimbit (Account ID: 15456). Performance reports, referring URL & exclusive rates for Impact Merchants
- CJ Affiliate: Move Skimbit (Account ID: 2645104) into a specific "Situation" with the higher rate. Performance reports, referring URL & exclusive rates for CJ Merchants
- Rakuten Advertising: Use the 'Offers' tool to set up an exclusive commission for Skimbit. Performance reports & exclusive rates for Rakuten Merchants - Audience Engine
- Other Networks: Search for Skimbit or Skimlinks in your publisher list and update the commission tier according to your network’s standard procedures.
Troubleshooting: Why is the rate not showing?
If you have updated your rate but it isn't visible in Skimlinks yet:
- Verify the Entity: Ensure you applied the rate to Skimbit Ltd (Account ID varies by network).
- Wait 48 Hours: The API sync is not instantaneous. Please allow two business days for the update to reflect.
- Active Status: Confirm that Skimlinks is an "Approved" publisher in your network.
