Commissions/Royalties
Q: What are the commission/royalty incentives and how are they determined?
A:
All commissions/royalties are incurred on a 20% base, however in instances where a Marketing Affiliate may send a user to Wallhogs and they in turn purchase an image from a Content Affiliate the commission/royalty is split 10/10. If the user purchases a custom Wallhog or a Wallhogs catalog image the Marketing Affiliate will receive the full 20%. A Content Affiliate will receive the full 20% from any user that is directed to the Wallhogs website from any search engine or by direct url entry.
NOTE: If a user has signed up as a Content and Marketing Affiliate the maximum commission/royalty is still 20%.
