Send an email to affiliates@ssls.com specifying the following information: your Affiliate ID, your Order ID, and Date of Sale.

How do you know sales are coming from my website?

Our affiliate program uses cookies to track sales generated by your affiliate link. In order for our system to track this information properly, the following conditions should be met:

  • Cookies must be enabled in the browser’s settings before your referral follows the link.
  • Cookies must not be cleared before a purchase is made by your referral.
  • Your referral should use the same browser to sign up for an SSLs.com account and to make a purchase.

Are there any time limits set on commission if someone who clicks the affiliate link doesn’t make a purchase right away?

The customer should make the purchase within 30 days of first following your affiliate link. Otherwise, you will not receive commission for the purchase.

What happens if a referral gets a refund?

Your commission for a sale will be removed if:

  • A referral gets a refund for a product
  • An order is canceled for any reason 
  • An order is found to be fraudulent

Do I get paid if I buy any SSLs.com products for myself?

Commissions are paid only for referring new customers. So, if you’re not a customer yet, your first order at SSLs.com will be considered to be an order from a new customer 😉

If you have clients and you want to buy SSLs for them, such orders will not be considered to be affiliate purchases. For such cases, you will need to participate in our reseller program.

To work as an affiliate, you will need to refer your clients to buy SSLs from SSLs.com on their own as opposed to you buying items for them.

Will I need to pay tax on my earnings?

Yes. Impact Radius, our affiliate partner, will send you the relevant taxation paperwork for the payouts you receive from them.

Can people I refer see my username?

Your referrals will only see your Affiliate ID number. Your SSLs.com (or affiliate) username will not appear in the link or the referrals’ accounts.

Can I design my own banner with the SSLs.com logo, or is this a copyright violation?

You may not design a banner with the SSLs.com logo at this time. 

You can exclusively use the affiliate banners provided by us, which are available in your SSLs.com affiliate account. 

What languages do you provide banners in?

We only provide banners in English at this time. You can find our banners by following the instructions in this article.

I don’t live in the USA but would like to promote SSLs.com on a foreign language website. Are there any restrictions?

As long as you comply with the Affiliate Program Terms of Service, there are no restrictions on who can become an affiliate. We will monitor the advertising activities of all our affiliates, regardless of language, to ensure they adhere to our Terms of Service.

Who can I contact at SSLs.com for affiliate support?
