All sales generated from traffic you send to EdibleInsects.com earns 8% of the gross sales minus tax & shipping.

One of the more powerful tools available for affiliate partners is site registration. You can register your website and all traffic coming from the registered site will be tracked and credited for sales. No need for special links or code, just link to EdibleInsects.com like you would any other site. All traffic and sales will be recorded.

To register your website for this, go to the Settings tab and look for Direct Link Tracking towards the bottom of the page. Type or paste your website URL in there and Save.

Now, all traffic from your site will be recorded and all sales resulting from your traffic will be credited to your account.

When you create links to EdibleInsects.com, use https:// instead of http:// because the “s” means it is a secure page. Because this is an ecommerce site, SSL has been turned on for all pages.

As soon as you sign up for the affiliate program a unique tracking url is created for you. You will see it on the first page that opens in the affiliate admin.

The basic tracking url will have the base url, affiliate identity text and a unique number that is yours. The url will look like this:

https://www.edibleinsects.com/edibleinsects/100

This link will work from your website, newsletter or in email.

 

 

Some affiliates like to create their own “Pretty URL” that has their own text string in the url in place of the unique number.

In an ironic twist, to use your own text in the url, you need to create a “slug”.

Let’s say you want to use a url like:

https://www.edibleinsects.com/edibleinsects/support-my-cause

You can do that by going to Settings and looking for “Custom Slug Settings. Type your text string in there with no spaces and Save. Then go to Affiliate URL’s and you will see your link ready to be copied and pasted wherever you want.

To link to specific pages on EdibleInsects.com, go to Affiliate URL’s and paste the page url in to the box “Page URL” and Save. The tracking link will show below.

 

If you are using analytics software, you can append a campaign text string to the end of the url. Just add the text to the box called “Campaign Name” and Save.

When someone clicks on your link and they come to EdibleInsects.com, you get credit for any orders they place.

If someone clicks on your link, visits and comes back later to order, we do our best to credit you with that sale as well. A strong majority of your traffic will be tracked for up to a year.

But, please understand that there are reasons why some visitors may not be tracked. Here are some more common reasons.

• Cookies and Javascript are turned off
• They visit on a different device
• They call in the order

We know that sounds like a large loophole but it’s true for all affiliate programs, not just our. It’s the limitations of the software and the results of human nature.

When someone clicks an affiliate link for the first time, they are credited to the affiliate account. If they click someone else’s link after that, they remain in the account of the first link they used.
