My affiliate links
Promote another creator's shop, share your link, and follow what you have earned.
You can be an affiliate of other creators' shops on Sorai, and earn a share of each sale you send them. Your programs belong to you as a person, not to your organization, so they follow you whichever organization you have selected.
Open your account menu in the top bar and choose My affiliate links. The page is Your affiliate programs.
Join a shop's program
- Open the shop's affiliate page. It is usually /affiliate on the shop's address, and the shop may send you the link.
- Read the rate and the terms, then choose Sign in to apply.
- Sign in with your Sorai account. The application is sent, and the shop appears under Your affiliate programs.
The shop reviews every application. While it decides, the card says it is waiting on the shop, and your link starts working the moment they approve you. A shop can also invite you directly, using the email on your Sorai account; then you join straight away.
You cannot be an affiliate of a shop you run.
Share your link
Each program card shows the rate you earn, your referral link with a copy button, and your code.
- A visitor who arrives on your link is credited to you for 30 days. If they later arrive on someone else's link, the newer one wins.
- A discount code tied to you credits the sale to you, whichever link the buyer came in on.
The card also shows Clicks on your link and what is Payable now.
Follow what you have earned
Choose Your commission on a program card to open its page:
- Sales you referred: completed sales, per currency. A sale counts once the buyer has paid.
- What you have earned: your balance per currency, as Payable now, Held, Paid and All time.
- Every entry: each commission, reversal and payment, as it happens.
- Payments recorded: each payment the shop recorded after sending it.
How you get paid
Commission is held for 30 days after the sale, in case the buyer is refunded, and becomes payable after that. The shop pays you directly, outside Sorai, and records each payment here. Sorai never holds or moves this money, so agree with the shop how and when they pay.
You earn in the currency each sale was taken in. Sorai never converts between currencies, so balances are kept apart.
If a refund comes in after you were paid, your balance can go negative for a while. The next commission clears it; nothing is owed back to the shop.
