Does it cost anything to join Skimlinks as a Merchant?

Joining Skimlinks as a merchant is free and involves no setup fees or monthly subscriptions. We operate on a pure performance-based model, where you only pay a commission through your affiliate network when a publisher drives a successful sale.

The Performance-Based Model

To ensure a risk-free partnership, our pricing structure is simple:

• No Setup Fees: There is no cost to be integrated into the Skimlinks network or to appear in our merchant search.
• No Fixed Costs: We do not charge monthly maintenance fees or subscription costs for our standard service.
• Commission Only: You only pay the commission rate that you have already agreed upon within your affiliate network (e.g., Awin, CJ, Impact).

Resolution: How are payments handled?

To save you time, please note our billing process:

1. No Direct Billing: Skimlinks does not send you direct invoices for standard affiliate traffic.
2. Network Payments: All publisher commissions are handled and paid directly through your affiliate network dashboard.
3. Status: If you see a charge on your network statement labeled "Skimlinks" or "Skimbit," it represents the commission for valid sales driven by our publishers. No further action or manual payment is required.

Optional Premium Services

While the standard network access is free, we offer optional paid enhancements:

• Paid Preferred Partner Program: An optional subscription for brands seeking guaranteed premium exposure and enhanced data. [What is the Paid Preferred Partner Program?].
