General Program Questions
What is the DiscountMugs Affiliate Program and how does it work?
The Affiliate Program is a service that allows participating websites to earn commission on sales referred to DiscountMugs using specially tracked links. We provide you with custom links and banners that you can post on your website. Then when a visitor you've referred to us makes a purchase, we'll keep track and give you a commission on the sale.
Is my website eligible for the Affiliate Program?
We accept almost all types of websites that are relevant to our products and do not contain objectionable or offensive materials. We welcome all applications but reserve the right to refuse membership or revoke a membership at any time at our sole discretion.
Are there any fees?

Can I become an affiliate if I live outside the United States?

What is your commission rate?
We pay up to 8% commission on new customer sales and up to 4% commission on returning customer sales. High volume affiliates are eligible for higher commission levels.
Is there a minimum annual threshold?

I don't have a website for my business, I don't want to put banners on my website and/or I place orders on behalf of my clients. Can I still be a DiscountMugs affiliate?
Yes, it just takes some extra effort. DiscountMugs has text links that can be taken from the Impact website in the "Links" section, or from our "Getting Started" section in our approval email. Whenever you get an order from a customer that you would like to fulfill with DiscountMugs products, copy that text link into your browser and press enter. This will take you to the DiscountMugs website through Impact's routing system and you'll get credit for the sale.
