ApexSQL Affiliate Guide
Overview
The ApexSQL Affiliate program offers you the chance to offer purchase links directly from your web site and get automatic commissions on sales OR referrals. Furthermore, you can offer software at a 10% discount to ensure customers buy directly from your site.
The first step is to Sign up with Share-it! - Digital River to be one of our affiliates. You'll automatically be approved and you'll be on your way.

How does the Affiliate program work?
Our unique implementation of the affiliate model offers two ways to earn money.
Direct Purchase: Simply put "Buy Now" links to our software on your site. Users click them, buy ApexSQL software and you get immediately credited with the sales. Commissions are paid automatically. We provide you with a discount coupon upon sign-up to embed in the link to ensure customers get the discounted price
Simple Referral: Link to our website with a special link and a cookie will be stored on your referral's computer. If they purchase at any time in the next 6 mos. you will be credited for the sale.
Here is an example of a referral based affiliate page, note the "Buy Now" link. If a visitor simply clicks this link and buys ApexSQL software anytime in the next 6 mos. they will get a 20% commission for the sale.
This link can be further improved by adding a discount coupon to be able to offer the potential customer a 10% discount to encourage them to purchase directly from this affiliate (vs buying from ApexSQL directly). Also the links to vendor page can be configured to include affiliate ID to also trigger this commission.
Can you tell me more about the Affiliate Program?
ApexSQL's Affiliate program offers an excellent and easy way for you to generate more revenue for your business by offering ApexSQL software as part of your website/online product offerings. This program is a commission based referral program implemented in conjunction with Share-it! - Digital River.
We have an agreement with Share-it! to help you manage your program. Once you are registered, you will gain access to a control panel and will be able to see what products are available for you to market. From there, you will be able to generate product and checkout links on your Web site with your Affiliate ID. This ensures that you get paid for any sale that was referred through your link.
Our Affiliate program is based on a "sticky" model. Not only will you receive a commission on your sale, but your customers will get a discount off our prices. This way, customers will "stick" to your website for the purchase and future purchases instead of coming to us later and paying full MSRP*.
How does the "Sticky" Affiliate model work?
Once you register as an ApexSQL affiliate with share-it, we will automatically email you a discount coupon to embed in your affiliate links (generated through the affiliate control panel). These links will contain your unique affiliate ID which will credit the sale to you. You will have to manually embed the discount code.
The idea is that you drive customers to your site with your own marketing efforts using the best promotion of all - cheaper software. Customers then "stick" to your website.
What is the Affiliate Commission and Discount rate?
The commission rate is 20%, and your customers will get at 10% discount off our MSRP*.
How will I get paid for my referrals?
You can receive payments either by check or wire transfer, in USD, EUR, or GBP. You can set your preferred payment method in your Share-it! control panel under 'Personal Data.'
Share-it! sends out payment reports to affiliates on the eighth of each month for the previous month's sales. Payment is then made on the fifteenth for the previous month's earnings, provided you reach the minimum payment amount of 100 EUR/USD or 70 GBP in commission earnings.
All you need to do is place links on your Web site that include an additional parameter to point to our product and purchase pages. This parameter allows us to track sales generated by your referral so we can pay you. This is not a Reseller program. We have an aggressive volume pricing structure that you can leverage.
Once you create a Share-it! account you will have access to a more detailed Affiliate FAQ. Please refer to this for questions about referral payments, currency, schedule of payments etc. Also you can email Share-it! at authors@us.shareit.com for U.S. & Canada or authors@shareit.com for all other countries. To contact us directly, email sales@apexsql.com.
