Sales are tracked using unique tracking links generated by the affiliate program in your country. The referred customer has a predetermined amount of time (“Referral Period”) after their last click on your link(s) for purchases to be eligible for commission.
The Referral Period is the time between the customer’s last click on your tracking link(s) and the date the customer makes a purchase of an eligible product. This is often referred to as a “cookie window”. Microsoft will give credit to affiliates for eligible transactions for up to 30 days from the click date.
Impact Radius is a third party technology platform that Microsoft has contracted to host the Office 365 affiliate program. Impact Radius hosts all ad creative, tracks and reports all performance activity, and issues payments for any commissions earned.
All orders generated by your referrals in a given month will become “locked” and eligible for commission on the last day of the next month. Payments for locked orders are issued on the 15th of each month.
You can choose to be paid in nearly any major global currency. Payments are issued by ACH or PayPal.
If the customer cancels their order before the lock date, the commission on that order will be reversed. If the customer cancels their order after the lock date, the commission will still be paid to you. If the customer changes the seat quantity before the lock date, the commission amount will be amended to the actual number of active seats on the lock date.
