Action commissions (CPA – commission per action)

What are action commissions?

Action commissions are a type of commission structure in affiliate marketing where an affiliate marketer earns a commission only when a specific action is taken by a user that was referred by the affiliate.

By using the Action commissions feature, you can define different cost-per-action commissions. This action could be anything from a sale, a lead, a download, or any other predetermined action that the advertiser has set up as a goal for their marketing campaign. Essentially, the affiliate marketer is rewarded for driving valuable actions for the advertiser, rather than simply driving traffic or clicks to their website.

Action commissions can be an effective way for advertisers to incentivize affiliates to focus on driving high-quality traffic and conversions, as they only pay out commissions when specific goals are met.

There are no limits to the number of action commissions you can create in each campaign, so it is possible to track virtually almost all visitor movements if you insert a piece of JavaScript code or hidden image (pixel) in the pages (on which the particular action is executed).
