Internet Affiliate Program > Earnings FAQ's

Get answers to our most frequently asked earnings questions.

How much can I earn?
Affiliates can potentially earn a 10%* commission on each sale of a Qualifying Product from any of ATG's online stores. ATG currently owns and operates five online stores, LightingUniverse.com, FixtureUniverse.com, KnobsandHardware.com, FloorsandSurfaces.com, and DecorUniverse.com.

When will I get paid?
All accrued commissions are paid four times a year, net 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. Payments are sent by check.

How does ATG track visitors from my site?
Affiliate's are given a unique ID, which is at the end of the tracking URL used to link to ATG stores. This ID tells ATG where a referral has come from in order to credit that account ID accordingly.

How long will ATG track visitors?
ATG will track visitors send to our stores through an Affiliate's link for 60 days and count any Qualifying Sales made during the 60 day period toward the Affiliate's earned commission.

How much money do I have to earn before I receive a payment?
Affiliates must accrue a minimum of $25.00 or more in earned commission in order to receive a payment. Earned commissions, less than the minimum accrual amount will be rolled over each payment cycle until the minimum amount is met.

Can I have my payments deposited directly into my bank account?
No, commission payments are not eligible for direct deposit into a bank account at this time.

How do I check the number of clicks I have sent and sales I have?
All clicks and sales information can be checked online through the Affiliate Dashboard.

How often are tracked statistics updated?
Statistics are updated daily. Sales statistics are updated in real-time at the conclusion of customer orders. Click statistics are updated at the end of each day.

In what currency are commissions paid?
All commissions are paid in US dollars drawn on a bank licensed, insured, and operating within the United States.

How long do I have to cash my commission check?
Commission payment checks are negotiable for 180 days (6 months) from their date of issue.

What happens if I don't cash my commission check in time?
Commission payment checks that are not cashed within 180 days (6 months) from their date of issue are not reissued. ATG does not reconcile uncashed payments or credit back the earned commission to the Affiliate's account at this time.

What do I do if I don't receive my commission payment?
ATG makes every effort possible to ensure Affiliate commission payments are received. If you don't receive a commission payment, please contact the ATG Affiliate Program manager at affiliats@alliedtradegroup.com.
