How do I set up exclusive rates for Skimlinks publishers?

To offer a higher or exclusive commission rate to Skimlinks publishers, you must configure the rate directly within your primary affiliate network (e.g., Awin, CJ, Impact). Skimlinks automatically synchronizes these rates via API; no manual update is required in the Skimlinks platform.

Resolution: Where to take action?

To save you time and ensure your rate is active, please follow the rules of our automated system:

1. The Source of Truth: Your affiliate network (where your program is hosted) is the only place where financial terms can be changed.
2. Technical Handshake: Locate the Skimlinks account (often listed as Skimbit Ltd) in your network's publisher list.
3. Assign the Rate: Move Skimbit into a "Premium" or "Exclusive" commission group within your network dashboard.

Important: Mandatory 48-Hour Sync Period

• No Confirmation Email: You will not receive a manual email from Skimlinks confirming the rate change.
• API Delay: Our system polls your network once every 24-48 hours. Please wait 2 business days for the new rate to appear in the Publisher Hub.
• Stop-Signal: If the rate is correct in your network, it will be correct in Skimlinks. No support ticket is required for verification.
