How does Pawtastic Pet Supplies track

We use cookies to track sales through
affiliate's websites. The cookies are only used to identify

sale, we are able to determine the total amount of
commission paid to the affilaite, and the affiliate that was
responsible for that sale.
How does Pawtastic Pet Supplies know
which affiliate to credit for which sale?
Since each link redirects to our
site, we are able to match up at the event of a sale, with
the affiliate who caused the action.
What about the customers who don't
have cookies turned on in their browser?
Research indicates that nearly 99% of
internet users have cookies enabled on their browser.
Cookies are an integral part of the web, and aid in the
creation of e-commerce website, user-friendly websites, and
other customized sites. In the uncommon event, however, that
a customer has cookies disabled on their browser, the
customer is not available for tracking, and sales will not
be tracked.
When
cookies are used, what information is available?
We do not profile customers,
aggregate data for analysis on customer preferences, or
store any customer data. We use cookies solely for the
purpose of providing an affiliate management solution, and
only generic information about a customer is used.
Is there fraud prevention on the
Pawtastic Pet Supplies network?
We have many automated tools in place
to alert us to possible fraud. Our team also monitors the
activities of affiliates, to make sure that there is no
suspicious activity. ALL checks are reviewed before they are
sent, and fraudulent users will NOT be paid ANY commissions.
The fact is that most people who attempt to fraud merchants,
are not very good at it, and are easy to spot, catch, and
terminate from the network. We have a ZERO tolerance policy
for fraud, no exceptions, no second chances.
How and When will I be paid for my
generated sales?
We issue payments via check or PayPal
on the 20th of each month. These payments are made to those
affiliates who have reached a $25 minimum BEFORE the end of
the previous month. For example, if an affiliate earns $25
by the end of February, they are paid those commissions on
March 20th. If the affiliate did not reach the $25 minimum
until March 1st, those commissions would be paid on April
20th. We have to allow time to review sales and leads in the
case of returns, invalid credit cards, or even fraud.
Can I refer a friend to the Pawtastic
Pet Supplies network and be paid for it?
If you refer your friend through the
links provided with the Pawtastic Pet Supplies affiliate
program, you can earn $1 per signup as an affiliate.

with HTML and Copy&Paste, you should be able to get your
first link loaded in only a few minutes.
