What is the easiest way to get involved with Shipito affiliate program?
It doesn't matter what country you live in. You can always promote Shipito services to English speaking customers. Place links, banners and special offers on your website. There are American expats living all over the world. Try to target them in your country. Target English speaking customers and show the benefits of buying in the U.S.A. This approach has advantages in the simplicity. You will be referring business to Shipito.com. You don't have to keep track of any transactions and still receive passive income for package fees charged by Shipito.

There is no affiliate ID in banner links. How your system will determine that user came from my site?
When you sign up for our affiliate program please register your website in your account. For example your website is xyzbikes.com. Our database will monitor every referral from your website and it will stay in our database for 60 days. If the customer makes the registration within 60 days it will be counted towards your affiliate commmission. There is no need for an affiliate ID. But you can still use an affiliate ID for email marketing. The affiliate ID link is included in your affiliate account (under text/email links).

Place HTML code to your web page to show users Shipito special offers
Shipito Special Offers is a great way how to promote inexpensive shopping in the U.S.A.  When you log in to your affiliate account, click on SHIPITO SPECIAL OFFERS link at the top of the page. It will let you choose different criteria and generate HTML code. After you place the HTML code to any page it will automatically show special offers. This is a great way how to convert a lot of customers. Step by step instructions can be found here.

Should I create a website in a foreign language?
The next step should be to create a website in your language. This will help to reach much broader audience, but may also bring new issues. Customers might have hard time understanding their Shipito account in English. There are two solutions. First you can offer Shipito services using your own client account. You can add customer names under your account (use OTHER NAMES function) and do the account management (sending packages, entering customs info, etc.) on behalf of your customers. This bring another advantage. You can charge extra for your customer service.  This is a great money making opportunity. You can use Shipito back-end system and offer full service shipping service to customers in your country. This is the best way to substantially increase your profit instead of just referring clients to Shipito website.

Please place a disclaimer on your website "This is not an official Shipito website. The site is owned and operated by company XYZ". You also have guarantee that all information published on the website is accurate and updated.

Can I register Shipito domain name in my country?
Yes, as long as you are our active affiliate and do not promote competing services on the domain name. If the affiliate relationship is terminated by either party you have to remove all package forwarding information from the website. You are not allowed under any circumstances promote competing services on Shipito domain name. The website must clearly state statement about ownership. For example: This is not an official Shipito website. This website is independently owned and operated by XYZ Corporation.

What other support Shipito.com can offer to media partners?
We can create special coupons which can be used for big media partners. We can also create special advertising budgets just for your market. These options are open to experienced affiliates & partners with successful track record.

Save on 4.3% bank fee and help other users with payments

Once your affiliate account is funded you will be able to transfer money to your Shipito client account or account of any other Shipito customer. You can be helping customers in your country who cannot pay by credit card. You can send deposit to them and each time you do that you will get 4.3% returned to you.
