You only need one account. This account covers all of your websites.

If you wish to track the performance of each of your websites, you can add data parameters to attribute clicks and sales to specific websites, buttons, banners, campaigns, and/or web pages.

To add data parameters, just append &data1= and or &data2= to your affiliate link.

Say you want to add data parameters to your affiliate link: https://www.xvinlink.com/?a_fid=YOURAFFILIATEID

A) Add data1:

• https://www.xvinlink.com/?a_fid=YOURAFFILIATEID&data1=iOS-app-review
  (An example of a data1 parameter can be the article name)

B) Add data2:

• https://www.xvinlink.com/?a_fid=YOURAFFILIATEID&data1=iOS-app-review&data2=CTA-button
  (An example of a data2 parameter can be the call to action, like a button or link text)

With these data parameters, you now know if a sale comes from the call-to-action button in the iOS app review.

• Go to the commissions report (Click Start > Reports > Commissions).

• On the right-hand side above your commissions, click on the “Edit view” button.

• A small menu should appear with different data fields and checkboxes. To view the data in your extra parameters you should click:

  1. Last Click Data1 - Shows the data1 parameter attributed to the sales

  2. Last Click Data2 - Shows the data2 parameter attributed to the sales

• At the top of the menu, next to “View Name,” name your custom view with an appropriate naming convention.

• At the bottom of the menu, click “Save as a new view.” This is your new custom view.

• If you log in and the report is on “Default View,” you can change to your custom view from the drop-down menu on the right-hand side.

Our default commissions are:

• 1-month subscription package - $13

• 6-month subscription package - $22

• 12-month subscription package - $36

(Commissions in USD per subscription)

Commissions are flexible, depending on the volume of signups you send to us. The more sales you drive, the more we pay. Contact the Affiliate Team to learn more about how we can work together to increase your commissions.

All sales are marked with a status of pending while we perform our fraud checks. Once our fraud checks are completed, your sales will change status to approved or, in some cases, declined.

No. If a customer fails our fraud checks and is declined in your affiliate panel, we will not pay commissions.

If one of your referred customers avails of our 30-day money-back guarantee, we will still pay you for that customer.

A sale takes 72 hours to pass our fraud checks. If it passes our checks, the sale will change from pending to approved; if it fails our checks it will change to declined.

The data in the affiliate dashboard is displayed in real time.

We aim to pay all affiliate commissions by the 15th of every month for the previous month’s commissions.

Our affiliate program has a minimum payout of $50. If the amount is less than $50, the commission will roll over to the next payment cycle.

We pay our affiliate commissions through PayPal, Payoneer, and wire transfer.

To make any changes to your payment details, please email our Accounts team at accounts-payable@expressvpn.com with the following information:

• Affiliate ID

No, we work on a CPA basis with all of our affiliates.

We do not have a sub-affiliate program. Any referrals from you will need to apply separately to our affiliate program and await our approval.

The “Payouts to me” tab in the affiliate panel displays the total amount of approved commissions that you have earned since joining our affiliate program. This should not read “unpaid.”
