How does click_id work?

Each affiliate click generates a unique click_id appended to the redirect to your site. Capture it (cookie or URL parameter) and send it back with the order via the Conversion API, webhook, or CSV so attribution is accurate.

Do I need API integration?

API integration gives you the most accurate, real-time tracking. But it’s not mandatory — you can upload products, orders and order-status updates via CSV if you’re not ready to integrate.

Can I use CSV upload?

Yes. Non-technical merchants can upload products, orders and order-status updates as CSV files. Each row runs through the same validation, deduplication and commission logic as the API.

How are commissions calculated?

Commission can be set at the product, campaign, or merchant level, with a platform default as a fallback. You only pay commission on verified, completed orders.

How do refunds and returns affect commission?

If an order is cancelled, returned, or refunded, the related commission is automatically reversed — so you never pay for sales that didn’t stick.

How is fraud prevented?

Every click and conversion is risk-scored. Suspicious patterns (bot traffic, duplicate conversions, self-referral, coupon misuse) are flagged, and high-risk commissions are held for review before they ever become payable.

Performance-based affiliate marketing for Nepali ecommerce

Turn creators, reviewers and niche publishers into a measurable sales channel. You pay only for verified orders — never for clicks, impressions, or empty promises. Influencemart handles tracking, attribution, fraud screening and commission settlement so you can focus on fulfilling sales.

Why affiliate marketing

A sales channel that pays for itself

Most ad budgets are spent before you know whether they worked. Affiliate marketing flips that: the cost is a share of revenue you have already earned, on orders that have already been verified.

Pay for outcomes, not promises

Commission is owed only after an attributed order is confirmed. Your acquisition cost moves in lock-step with real revenue, so the channel is profitable by design and never runs ahead of sales.

Reach you can’t buy directly

Tap a network of Nepali affiliates, creators and review sites who already have the trust of the exact audiences you want — across TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp groups, blogs and newsletters.

Predictable unit economics

Set commission rates per product, campaign or store. Because you control the rate and only pay on confirmed orders, your blended margin stays inside the band you decide up front.

Trackable, attributable demand

Every visit carries a unique click identifier, so you can see exactly which partner, link and campaign drove each sale — instead of guessing which channel deserves the credit.

Lower risk than fixed-fee ads

No upfront spend, no minimum buy. If a partner sends no sales, it costs you nothing. The downside is capped while the upside scales with your best-performing affiliates.

Complements your existing marketing

Affiliates run alongside your own ads, SEO and email. They widen the top of the funnel and create authentic, third-party proof that converts shoppers your brand can’t reach on its own.

The model

Pay only for verified orders

The lifecycle below is enforced automatically. A commission can only become payable once the order behind it has been confirmed and has cleared its return window — so you never settle on a sale that didn’t stick.

Click is tracked

An affiliate shares a trackable link. The shopper is redirected to your website carrying a unique click_id that ties the visit to that partner.

Order is reported

When the shopper buys, you report the conversion back with the same click_id via the Conversion API, a webhook, or a CSV upload. We attribute it to the right affiliate.

Commission is calculated

We apply the most specific rate that matches — product, then campaign, then store, then a platform default — and create a commission in a pending state.

Order is verified & held

You send the order status (confirmed, shipped, delivered, returned, refunded, cancelled). A confirmed order moves the commission to a hold during the return window.

Commission becomes payable

Once the hold clears with no return or refund, the commission becomes payable. If the order is cancelled, returned or refunded at any point, the commission is reversed automatically.

You settle in one batch

Payable commissions roll into a single, scheduled settlement — no per-order invoices, no manual reconciliation, and a full ledger you can audit at any time.

What this guarantees you

The state machine is the contract. You cannot be charged for a sale that hasn’t been confirmed and verified — it is structurally impossible.

No charge for clicks, impressions, or unconfirmed carts
Returns, refunds and cancellations reverse commission automatically
A hold window protects you during your return policy period
Rates you set yourself, overridable per product or campaign
A single periodic settlement instead of order-by-order billing
An append-only ledger for every commission state change

Integration

API-first, but never API-only

Built for engineering teams who want real-time, server-to-server accuracy — and just as friendly to a store owner who would rather upload a spreadsheet. Pick the path that matches where your business is today; you can graduate from one to the other without losing history.

Product feed API

Push your catalogue — titles, prices, images, availability, SKUs and per-product commission rates — so affiliates always promote in-stock products at the correct price. Sync on a schedule or on every change to keep listings live and accurate.

Campaign management

Group products into campaigns with their own commission terms, start and end dates, creatives and promotion rules. Publish a campaign to open it to affiliates, then pause or close it the moment a promotion ends.

Conversion API

Report a completed order in real time with its click_id, value, and line items. Idempotent by design — safe to retry — so a flaky network or a double-fire never creates a duplicate commission.

Order status API

Send lifecycle updates — confirmed, shipped, delivered, returned, refunded or cancelled. These drive the hold and reversal logic, so an affiliate is only ever paid for an order that genuinely completed.

Webhook support

Subscribe to events such as commission approved, payout scheduled, or fraud flagged. Signed, retried-with-backoff deliveries keep your own systems in sync without polling our API.

CSV upload for non-technical merchants

No developers? Upload products, orders and order-status changes as CSV files from the dashboard. Each row runs through the same validation, deduplication and commission logic as the API — same results, zero code.

Fraud protection

Risk screening on every click and conversion

Performance marketing only works if the performance is real. Every event is risk-scored before it can ever turn into money you owe — so low-quality and fraudulent traffic is caught upstream, not after you’ve paid.

Bot, fake and incentivized clicks are filtered out
Duplicate and manipulated conversions are deduplicated and blocked
Self-referrals and coupon / discount-code misuse are detected
High-risk commissions are held for review before becoming payable
Repeat abuse triggers partner-level action, protecting your spend

Built in

Quality, not just quantity

Because every conversion passes through risk scoring before it can settle, the orders you actually pay for skew toward genuine, retained customers — not vanity numbers. That keeps the channel honest for everyone: clean affiliates get paid faster, and you only fund traffic that converts into real revenue.

Operate with confidence

Dashboard, analytics and settlement

Once you’re live, everything happens in one place — manage what affiliates can promote, watch performance in real time, and settle commissions on a schedule that fits your cash flow.

Merchant dashboard

A single control panel for products, campaigns, conversions, commissions and payouts. Approve affiliates, adjust commission rates, and pause a campaign in a couple of clicks — no engineering ticket required.

Reporting & analytics

See top affiliates, top products, conversion rate, average order value and earned vs. payable commission over any period. Drill from a campaign down to the individual order that drove it, and export the data for your own books.

Payout & commission settlement

Payable commissions are batched into scheduled settlements, so you fund affiliate earnings once per cycle through supported methods rather than chasing dozens of small payments.

Supported settlement methods

We settle affiliate earnings to local methods Nepali partners actually use, so payouts land quickly and predictably:

Test mode and live mode

Build and validate your entire integration against a sandbox before a single real rupee is at stake. When you’re confident, the same code runs in production — just point it at your live keys.

Test mode

Practise without consequences

Fire sample clicks, conversions and status updates against isolated test data.
No real commissions are created and no payouts are ever triggered.
Verify attribution, idempotency and webhook signatures end-to-end before launch.

Live mode

Flip the switch, keep the code

Swap test keys for live keys — your integration is identical, byte for byte.
Real orders attribute to real affiliates and flow into the settlement ledger.
Test and live data stay completely separate, so dashboards report only real revenue.

FAQ

Merchant questions, answered

When an affiliate shares a link, the buyer is redirected to your website carrying a click_id. When you report the conversion back (with that click_id), we attribute the order to the right affiliate and calculate commission.
