Affiliate Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Affiliate Policy sets out the conduct rules and quality standards that apply to everyone who promotes merchants through Influencemart. It works alongside our fraud policy and payout policy: this document defines what you may and may not do, the fraud policy explains how we detect and act on abuse, and the payout policy covers how approved earnings are actually paid. Throughout, “the Platform”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Influencemart, the operator of Influencemart; “you” and “affiliate” refer to the person or business promoting offers through your account.

The principle behind every rule below is simple: we only want — and merchants only pay for — genuine sales driven by genuine interest. Traffic you generate must be real, consented, and honestly represented. New to how the network works? Read how it works, browse live campaigns, and see what you can promote by category.

Eligibility

To register and operate as an affiliate on Influencemart, you must meet all of the following:

• Be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority where you reside) and legally able to enter into a binding agreement.
• Provide accurate registration details — your real name or registered business name, a working email and phone number, and the Nepal location or region you operate from. We may verify these before activating your account or before releasing a payout.
• Disclose the channels you intend to promote through (websites, social handles, messaging groups, newsletters) and keep them up to date. Promoting through undisclosed channels — especially ones you would not want reviewed — is grounds for rejection.
• Operate only one affiliate account unless we have explicitly approved additional accounts in writing. Duplicate or sock-puppet accounts created to inflate traffic, evade limits, or self-refer are not permitted.
• Be able to receive payouts through one of our supported methods and provide accurate payout details in your own name or your registered business’s name. See the payout policy for supported methods and thresholds.

Eligibility is ongoing, not a one-time check. We may re-verify your identity, request proof of how traffic is generated, or pause an account at any time if information appears inaccurate or if your activity stops meeting these standards.

Allowed promotion methods

You are encouraged to promote offers through honest, transparent channels that you control or have permission to use. Approved promotion methods include:

• Social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube)
• WhatsApp, Viber and messaging groups
• Your own website or blog
• Email newsletters to people who opted in
• Honest reviews and comparison content

Across every channel, the same expectations apply: identify affiliate or sponsored content where the platform or local rules require it, describe products accurately, link only to the merchants and offers we have made available to you, and never claim an endorsement or relationship that does not exist. When in doubt about whether a method is acceptable, ask us first rather than risk having the resulting commissions rejected.

Prohibited traffic sources

Some traffic is never acceptable because it is not genuine, not consented, or designed to deceive the merchant or the attribution system. The following are strictly prohibited:

• Fake, bot, or incentivized clicks
• Self-referrals or buying through your own links for commission
• Duplicate or manipulated conversions
• Coupon / discount-code misuse and brand-bidding abuse
• Spam, misleading claims, or impersonating the merchant or platform

In addition, you may not drive traffic through automated bots, click farms, malware or adware, forced or hidden redirects, cookie stuffing, typo-squatting or domains that impersonate a merchant, trademark or brand-term bidding on paid search where the merchant has not permitted it, pop-unders or iframe injection, incentivized clicks (paying or rewarding people merely to click), or any source that violates a third-party platform’s terms. Commissions traced to a prohibited source are rejected, and repeated use of such sources leads to suspension. Detection and enforcement are described in our fraud policy.

Self-referral policy

You may not earn commission on your own purchases, or on purchases made by anyone acting on your behalf or under your direction. This includes:

• Buying through your own affiliate links or coupon codes, regardless of which account, device, payment method, or address is used.
• Purchases by household members, employees, partners, or connected accounts that exist primarily to generate commission rather than to make a genuine purchase.
• Creating orders that you intend to cancel, return, or refund after the commission is recorded.

Affiliate marketing rewards you for introducing new customers to a merchant — not for routing your own spending through a tracking link. Self-referred conversions are reversed, and patterns of deliberate self-referral are treated as fraud and can result in forfeiture of pending earnings and account closure.

Fake click policy

Clicks must come from real people with genuine interest in the offer. We risk-score every click and conversion, and we reject activity that shows signs of being fabricated, including:

• Bot, script, or automated traffic, and clicks generated by emulators, headless browsers, or click-generation tools.
• Repeated clicks from the same device, IP range, or fingerprint designed to inflate volume or game performance metrics.
• Paid, forced, or incentivized clicks where people are rewarded simply for clicking rather than for a genuine purchase decision.
• Hidden, auto-triggered, or misleading links that generate clicks without the visitor knowingly choosing to visit the merchant.

Fake clicks distort attribution and waste merchant budgets even when no sale results. Accounts that generate abnormal click patterns may have tracking throttled, conversions held for review, or — for deliberate manipulation — be suspended.

Coupon misuse policy

Coupon and discount codes are provided so you can offer real value to your audience, not to be harvested by coupon-aggregator traffic or used to hijack sales the merchant would have made anyway. You may not:

• Publish private, single-use, employee, or unreleased codes, or distribute codes on coupon-scraping sites without the merchant’s explicit permission.
• Use coupon content to bid on a merchant’s brand terms or to intercept customers at checkout (last-click coupon injection) when the merchant has not authorised it.
• Generate, leak, or exploit codes to create unauthorised discounts, or share codes that you were not granted the right to distribute.

Where a merchant restricts how its codes may be promoted, those restrictions apply to you. Commissions tied to coupon misuse are rejected, and repeated misuse is grounds for suspension.

Commission approval

A commission is not earned the moment a click happens — it must first survive validation and the merchant’s order lifecycle. The path from click to payable commission is:

• Recorded — a valid click is attributed to your account and, when a conversion is reported (via API, webhook, or CSV), a pending commission is created against the order.
• Risk-scored — the click and conversion are checked for the prohibited and fraudulent patterns described above. Low-risk commissions continue; high-risk ones are held for manual review before they can become payable.
• Confirmed — the merchant confirms the order is genuine and complete (for example, delivered and past any return window). Commissions are only approved against verified, completed orders.
• Approved — once confirmed and clear of holds, the commission moves to an approved, payable state and counts toward your next payout.

Approval timelines depend on each merchant’s confirmation and return windows, which is why pending commissions can take time to mature. You only ever earn on real sales that stick.

Rejection reasons

A pending commission may be reduced to zero or reversed for any of the following reasons:

• The order was cancelled, returned, refunded, or charged back, in which case the related commission is automatically reversed.
• The conversion failed validation — duplicate or manipulated order data, a missing or invalid click_id, or an order that cannot be matched to a legitimate click.
• The traffic came from a prohibited source, fake clicks, self-referral, or coupon misuse as defined above.
• The promotion breached this policy, a merchant’s specific terms, or applicable law (for example, misleading claims or undisclosed channels).
• The order was a test, fraudulent, or otherwise not a genuine sale, or was not confirmed by the merchant within its confirmation window.

Rejections and reversals are reflected in your dashboard so you can see the status of every commission. Repeated rejections caused by policy breaches — as opposed to ordinary returns — are a signal that may trigger review or suspension.

Payout eligibility

Only approved commissions are eligible for payout. To withdraw earnings you must:

• Have an active account in good standing, with no unresolved fraud review, dispute, or verification hold.
• Have completed any identity or payout-detail verification we require, with payout details in your own or your registered business’s name.
• Reach the minimum payout threshold for your chosen method, and wait out any clearance or hold period that applies to newly approved commissions.

Pending, held, or rejected commissions are never paid. Supported methods, thresholds, schedules, clearance periods, and how taxes and adjustments are handled are set out in full in our payout policy.

Account suspension

We may suspend, restrict, or close an affiliate account, and withhold or reverse affected earnings, where we reasonably believe that:

• You have breached this policy, our fraud policy, a merchant’s terms, or applicable law.
• You have engaged in fraud, fake or bot traffic, self-referral, coupon misuse, or other prohibited activity — or repeatedly generated commissions that are rejected for these reasons.
• You provided false registration, identity, or payout information, or operated undisclosed or duplicate accounts.
• Your activity creates risk for merchants, other affiliates, or the integrity of the attribution system.

Depending on severity, action may range from a warning or temporary hold to permanent closure. For serious or deliberate abuse, suspension may be immediate and pending earnings may be forfeited. Where appropriate, we will tell you the reason and, for good-faith disputes, give you a chance to respond — but we are not obliged to keep an account open while a serious investigation is ongoing. Our broader safeguards are described on our trust & safety page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Affiliate Policy as the network, merchant requirements, or applicable law evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify active affiliates. Continuing to promote offers after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.

Not legal advice

This policy is provided for transparency and to set clear, fair expectations between affiliates, merchants, and the Platform. It is not a substitute for professional legal advice. If you are unsure how these rules apply to your specific situation — for example, disclosure or tax obligations in Nepal — you should consult a qualified professional.
