We’re making this update for a few reasons. In our old program, our commission included five types of payouts, and it wasn’t always easy to follow. Our new payout system provides increased payouts, and is hopefully clearer too. Additionally, as more affiliates join the program, we want to help them have the most success and increasing potential commissions is one way to do that.
Recently, we added several new categories to the Swappa marketplace: graphics cards, computers, cameras and home tech. We are excited to include these new categories in the affiliate program, especially since graphics cards provide some of the highest payouts. (Protection plans and accessories are not included in the program.)
We have more good news – this update doesn’t require our affiliates to make any changes. Your referral link will still be the same, and you’ll still get paid on the same schedule. These changes are reflected on our Swappa Affiliate page.
For people new to the program, or who are interested in signing up, here is more information to help you get started.
