How do I increase my base commission rate?

To increase your base commission rate, you must update your program settings directly within your primary affiliate network (e.g., Awin, CJ, Impact). Skimlinks automatically synchronizes these updates via API within 48 hours; no manual notification to our team is required.

Why increase your base rate?

Higher rates are the strongest driver for publisher engagement:

• Automatic Promotion: Our system prioritizes merchants with higher-than-average rates in the "Trending" and "For You" sections.
• Publisher ROI: Top-tier editors use commission data to select which brands to feature. A base rate increase makes you instantly more attractive.

Resolution: How to update your base rate

1. Update in Network: Log in to your affiliate network and change the base commission for the Skimlinks (Skimbit Ltd) publisher profile.
2. Wait for Sync: Our API polls your network every 24-48 hours. Please allow 2 business days for the new rate to appear in the Publisher Hub.

Status: If the rate is updated in your network, it will be correct in Skimlinks. No support ticket is required to confirm the update.
