Affiliate Program

Does MerchYeah have an affiliate program?

Absolutely! Our affiliate program allows you to help spread the word about our services. When you share, you help us grow, and you'll generate recurring commissions from successful shops you bring in.

How does the affiliate program work?
  1. New to MerchYeah? Sign up now and get started. (Note: This program is for current and active shop owners only).
  2. Once accepted into the program, you’ll receive a unique signup link to share and help us welcome new MerchYeah shop owners. New signups will receive a $5 credit to their account.
  3. As a thank you, you’ll earn up to $1 for each garment they sell.  Kindly take note: Commissions are capped for bulk orders and orders exceeding 5 items.
Where can I find my affiliate link?

If you've been accepted into our affiliate program, you'll go to the user icon at the top of the site. From the user menu, visit: MY Affiliate Dashboard. From that page you'll be able to copy your link, share socially, and email your link to friends, family, fans, and colleagues. Please note: The MY Affiliate Dashboard will not show unless you have been accepted into the affiliate program.

How much are affiliates paid?

When new shop owners sign up through your affiliate link, you'll earn up to $1 for each MerchYeah! gamrent sold from their shop. Please note: Commissions will be capped for bulk orders and orders exceeding 5 items.

How do I collect my affiliate commission payout?

Your MerchYeah sales and affiliate commissions are reported in near real-time when orders are placed. Login and go to "MY Affiliate Dashboard" to view your sales and your current wallet balance. As commissions gain momentum, you'll enjoy a consistent stream of profits arriving every two weeks, seamlessly deposited into your PayPal account. To receive your payout on our recurring cycle and schedule, you current balance must be greater than $10.00 and any current orders must be fully processed and shipped.

When are affiliate commissions paid?

Once you’re selling, you’ll want to enter your payment details. Profits are prepared, accounted and totaled prior to our recurring payout cycles which process every other week (typically on Fridays). To receive your payout on our recurring cycle and schedule, your current balance must be greater than $10.00 and any current orders must be fully processed and shipped.

How do I make sure I get credit for the new shops I bring in?

To receive commissions, new shops must sign up directly and only through your unique affiliate link. Please note & understand: Shops who have signed up previously or through any other link cannot be claimed after the fact. 

How can I check affiliate commissions and see what I’ve earned?

Your MerchYEAH sales and commissions are reported in near real-time when orders are placed. Login and go to MY Affiliate Dashboard to view your sales and your current wallet balance.

How will I know when my commissions have been paid?

When we process payments as part of our recurring payout cycles, you’ll receive notification via email and will also see the record of your payment in your dashboard.

Do I have to pay taxes on affiliate commissions and the money I earn?

Yes. When your total earning are greater than $600 in a given year, the IRS requires the filing of a W-9 which will be provided directly through PayPal.

Why is my wallet balance negative?

In rare situations where an order must be cancelled and refunded, your wallet will show a deleted order with a strike through and red x icon. If the resulting subtracted balance is more than your current earned wallet balance, the result will be a negative balance which will resolved when future profits are earned.

Why is the $1 for each item capped at 5 items?

When we produce in bulk, production costs come down. We pass along that savings to shop owners by lowering the cost per item. To keep costs low for shop owners and customers, we do have to cap Affiliate Commissions at 5 items on a single order.

Why isn't my affiliate link showing up in my user menu?

Our affiliate program is only open by invitation to marketers, influencers, and to shop owners who have made at least one sale and are actively using MerchYeah and its services. To request an invitation to the program, pop us a message so we can learn more about you and your brand.
