Program Details

Everything from how commission works to how you get paid.
Eye Factory Affiliate is transparent about all of it.

How commission works

Commission is calculated with the formula below. Every conversion is recorded accurately and can be checked in the portal.

Your rate is set at approval

The 35% commission rate is applied when your account is approved. The commission on each conversion can be checked at any time in the portal's conversion detail.

About the processor fee

The processor fee depends on how the buyer paid (card, convenience store and so on). It is deducted from the tax-exclusive sale, and the fee applied and its amount are shown in the portal detail.

Itemized in the portal

Sales, fee, rate and commission are fixed the moment the conversion happens. Once fixed, the figures never change afterwards.

How tracking works

Visits through the links you generate in the portal are measured and purchases, signups and other conversions are recorded.
Conversions that come through your links are never missed.

Measured on the server

A visitor who clicks your link goes straight to the target site with no redirect. The click is recorded server-side, and purchases, signups and other conversions are reported directly by the target site. Nothing depends on browser cookies or scripts, so tracking prevention and ad blockers have little effect.

Commission for as long as they stay

A customer who buys through your link is recorded as your referral. Every time that customer generates sales again, whether a repeat purchase, a paid membership join or recurring billing, it is credited to you as commission.

Only generated links earn

There is no referrer-based crediting and no hand-built or edited URL variant. Always use the URL generated on the portal's "Create links" page.

Visitor privacy

No cookie-based tracking is used, so there is no need to put a cookie consent banner on your site.

Portal features

A clear dashboard that is fully available in English. Check conversions, commission and more at a glance.

  • Links in a few clicks

    Pick a campaign and a site and the link is ready. Landing-page paths (paths within the site), three sub-ID slots and your own click ID are supported.

  • Campaigns need no approval

    Create campaigns freely per placement or project. Conversions and traffic are reported per campaign.

  • Reports across six dimensions

    Check results by site, campaign, referrer, landing page, sub-ID and country. Pick a period and export as CSV, Excel or PDF.

  • S2S postbacks

    Real-time conversion notifications to your server. Macros such as {event_id} and {commission} plug straight into your measurement tools. Failed notifications are resent automatically.

  • Creatives

    Banners, logos, sample images and sample videos, downloadable per site.

  • Account protection

    Two-factor authentication (TOTP) keeps your commission data and payout settings safe.

Payouts
