How does the affiliate program know when I should receive credit for an order?

Refersion tracks a cookie that is automatically applied to the computer of a person who clicks on a banner or text link that has your affiliate ID number embedded within it. Each banner or link that you create is specifically tagged with your Refersion affiliate ID number, letting us know that you deserve commission on the sales you send our way. You can access all of these banners
and links by logging in to your Laguna Candles Affiliate Account and choosing from any of the banners or create links. These links can be used from any website, put directly into a browser or emailed out in the case of text links. You can test a link by copying and pasting it into your browser. If you are directed to the Laguna Candles website, the link is working. “Do not copy and paste a landing page url from our website and confuse it for an affiliate link, since it will not track properly”.

When and how do I get paid?

Laguna Candles will pay your monthly commission via PayPal around the 1st. of the following month. Your account needs to have a balance of $50 or more before the end of the month in order to receive a payment. Otherwise, it will continue to roll forward into the next month until the $50 minimum is reached and we can issue a payment.

What sales and revenue reports does Laguna Candles provide?

Each transaction is logged on Refersion servers and is available for review in detail under the “Dashboard” tab or “Reporting” tab once signed in to your account. Refersion will provide tracking of your clicks, sales and commission.
Please do not contact Laguna Candles for this information, since we cannot access your account.

What is your return days or cookie policy?

If a visitor comes to our websites from your website but does not purchase on that visit, you can still earn commission on sales from that customer if they return and make a purchase within 30 days. This works even if they navigate directly to the website on a return visit as long as they haven’t deleted their cookies.

Do I earn commission credits if someone clicks on a product on my site and then buys a different product?

Yes. You will receive full credit for any product that is purchased by a customer who clicks on your affiliate link across www.lagunacandles.com.

How do product returns affect my commission?

If a customer returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account will be debited the commission. But don’t worry—we have a very minimal return rate, people love our products.
