Frequently Asked Questions
What is Affiliate Hosting?
It’s simply partnering to promote a platform and earn commissions for qualified customers you refer. With DupeBlock, you “host” Smart-QR promotions—think secure QR codes, product authentication, and traceability for print/packaging clients. You share links or coupons; we track, you earn.
How much can I earn as a DupeBlock affiliate?
Choose Slab CPA (up to $125 per paid activation), Hybrid ($30 upfront + 7% lifetime), or Custom for volume partners. Print shops often stack upsells on every run, so earnings compound fast. Payouts are monthly once you meet the threshold.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
You recommend a solution, your audience buys, and you get paid. For print shops and packaging converters, that means adding Smart-QR to existing jobs—no offset re-plate—and monetizing every run. It’s a low-lift way to turn print into recurring revenue.
What is an affiliate program?
A structured system that assigns you a unique ID/link, tracks clicks and purchases, and pays commissions. DupeBlock’s program includes 90-day cookies, coupon attribution, and recurring payouts on subscriptions/QR usage. It’s built for B2B cycles and print workflows.
How do I get an affiliate ID?
Apply on our affiliate page and get instant access once approved. Your dashboard shows your affiliate ID, links, coupons, and creatives. Start promoting the same day.
Who can become a DupeBlock affiliate? Do I need an account?
Open to print shops, packaging converters, 3PLs/co-packers, agencies, creators, and B2B publishers—worldwide. You don’t need a paid DupeBlock account to join. Just apply, get approved, and start earning.
What are the commission payout terms?
We pay monthly (Net-30) via PayPal or bank wire with a minimum payout threshold. Hybrid plans include lifetime % on subscription and QR usage revenue. Detailed terms are inside the dashboard.
What is the maximum duration of cookie storage?
90 days. If a buyer returns and converts within 90 days, you get the credit. Coupon/vanity codes provide a backup attribution path.
How do I change my current commission structure?
In your dashboard, request a switch between Slab, Hybrid, or Custom. We’ll confirm and apply it to new conversions going forward. No lock-ins.
Why is my initial commission/sign-up showing as pending?
We verify paid activation, fraud checks, and refund windows before approving commissions. This protects honest affiliates and ensures accurate payouts. Approvals typically clear on the next cycle.
Where can I see my referred sales, and what if one is missing?
Your dashboard shows real-time clicks, trials, paid activations, renewals, and earnings. If something’s missing, open a ticket with the order/invoice ID and coupon/link used. We investigate and true-up quickly.
Can I apply my affiliate earnings to my DupeBlock subscription or invoice?
Default is a cash payout, but account credit can be arranged for approved partners. Ask support to enable invoice crediting. We’ll confirm in writing before the next cycle.
When do the slabs reset?
On the first day of each calendar month. Your tier is based on that month’s approved activations, with any month-end true-up reflected in the payout.
How do I contact affiliate support if I have issues or queries?
Use the Support tab in your dashboard or email our affiliate desk. A dedicated manager assists with strategy, compliance, and co-marketing. Most responses land within 1–2 business days.
Can I run PPC to promote DupeBlock?
Yes—follow our PPC policy: no bidding on “DupeBlock” or misspellings, and no direct-linking without pre-approval. Use compliant landing pages and FTC disclosure. Print-focused PPC (e.g., “secure QR for packaging/labels”) converts best.
