Tier 1: $6.00 per order up to 125 orders

Tier 2: $8.00 per order from 126 to 250

Tier 3: $10.00 per order at 251 and over

We pay out affiliate commissions in USD directly to your bank account or debit card in the first week of every month. We have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days. There is no minimum payout balance or maximum payout balance.

In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payouts service.

We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.

Here are the details of our program in summary:

You’ll receive a commission for every new sale you refer
Commissions will be paid by the 15^th of the following month.
Referrals cannot be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).

Referral cookie lifetime

When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase from Outdoor Technologies and Sports or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)
The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Refunded purchases

Referrals older than 30 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout. If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:

The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.
