Affiliate Program
Commissions
Everything you need to know about how commissions work in the Doothemes Affiliate Program.
What Is a Commission?
A commission is the monetary reward you earn when a customer referred by you completes a purchase of any Doothemes product or service.
It is calculated as a percentage of the order total and credited to your affiliate balance. Since our program is recurring, you don't just earn on the first sale — every purchase your referred customers make generates a new commission for you.
How Is a Commission Generated?
A commission is created automatically when this flow completes:
- Click — A user visits Doothemes through your referral link.
- Sign Up — The user creates an account and verifies it.
- Purchase — That user completes an order (or an already-linked referred customer makes a new purchase: renewal, upgrade, or new product).
- Registration — The system attributes the sale to your account and creates the commission with the status Pending.
- Validation — The order goes through our validation process (payment confirmation, fraud checks, refund window).
Once a referred customer is linked to your account, all their future purchases generate commissions automatically — no link or cookie needed.
Dynamic Commission Percentage
Commissions are not fixed — your percentage is dynamic and can reach up to 8% per sale.
Your rate is determined by your performance as an affiliate: the volume and consistency of sales you generate. This means:
- Better performance → higher percentage
- Lower activity → your rate may adjust downward
- The 8% maximum is reserved for top-performing affiliates
Your current rate is always visible in your affiliate dashboard.
Renegotiating Your Commission Percentage
Your percentage is not set in stone. Affiliates with strong, consistent results are in a position to renegotiate their commission rate directly with our team.
- Demonstrate sustained sales volume and quality referrals
- Request a rate review through your affiliate dashboard or affiliate support
- Our team evaluates your performance history and may adjust your percentage — always up to the program maximum of 8%
The better your track record, the stronger your negotiating position.
Commission Statuses
Every commission moves through a defined lifecycle:
- Pending - The default status when a commission is created. The order is still going through validation.
- Approved - The order has successfully passed all validation checks — the commission is confirmed and awaiting payout.
- Rejected - The order did not pass validation (refund, chargeback, fraud) or the funds are not accessible. The commission is cancelled.
- Paid - The commission has been paid out to your account. The cycle is complete.
The approval process for a commission can take up to 30 days.
