FIRST OF ALL: I want you all to know that I have been on affiliate industry for almost 6 years now promoting products and services online. I know how to read their Terms of Services (TOS) or Terms and Conditions or whatsoever. I know how to comply and have performed my promotions clean enough with fairness.
On this matter, I know I have complied and qualified for sales commission but ipage affiliate program did not pay me! Yet, they still get new clients from my affiliate link that I have promoted online and through emails. Until now, they haven't pay me yet, it's almost 4 months now that I don't get my commissions.
I know lots of hosting providers that offer affiliate program has been broke but please remove your affiliate program on your business so none will promote your service anymore.
So, to all affiliates out there, please be aware!
Anyways, I am a web designer and developer and has been a customer of iPage.com since 2014 and their service is good but this post is not about that it's about their Affiliate Program.
What's about their Affiliate Program?...
Well, one day I was navigating on their website and landed on their affiliate program page so I check on it and was surprised on how much I can earn just by referring new customers to their website so I tried it and promote my affiliate link on the web as well to my client email lists.
At first I have made few sales and send me my commissions to my Paypal ID/address.
But after I made affiliate sales again recently from the month of March 2016, they suddenly stopped sending me my commissions instead they email me regarding to it with nonsense emails.
I know the policy, rules, affiliate commission terms etc. whatsoever so I know how to promote my affiliate link, when can I have my commissions and if the sales I made is qualified.
Obviously, when you made an affiliate sale to their website, it counts up to 45 days before they send you your commission to the payment method you choose. Then in order to be qualified for a commission, the customer you referred should be active on their account and should have activity going on for 30 days and should have traffic to their website for 30 days or so.
Now, I think all the terms was indeed achieve, I mean to make it short, I am qualified for the commission i guess.
There's a lot of activity going on from the customer's account that I have referred to from the month of March 2016 sales.
There's a lot of activity going on from the customer's account that I have referred to from the month of March 2016 sales.
I have waited till April 30, 2016 for an equal of 46 days but then they send me an email or they responded to the ticket I created saying the commission is on hold and will be process till May 30, 2016 so I waited till now and then received an email again saying they will process and send me my commission till June 30, 2016.
I can't really believe it!...
You can see images below for the emails from the tickets that I have created from their support page:

Hello,Second iPage affiliate support comments/message:
Thank you for contacting Affiliate Support - Prior to commission payments being processed all sales are reviewed for qualified commissions. When reviews are performed we use the guidelines set forth on the affiliate agreement to determine eligibility of a sale. It appears our review team was unable to deem your March sale as qualified for commission payout during the review cycle for the month of April due to the lack of account activity. For sales to qualify for payable commission we do require moderate growth from each account after the date of sign up. If an account is cancelled or lacks the appearance of growth within 30 days of sign up commission may be held for a second review or forfeited. This being said, your commission has been placed on hold. We have asked our review team to perform a second review of the sale during next months review cycle. If deemed as qualified payable commissions will be paid out by May 31,2016 to your designated method of payment.
Regards,
Des R.
