  • How does the Apple Store Affiliation Programme work?

    • To provide you with state-of-the-art affiliation technology, Apple has partnered with dgm. By incorporating Apple banners and other text links on their sites, programme members earn commission. Apple, through dgm, handles all the ordering, fulfilment, shipping and tracking of sales generated from your site.

    To understand the affiliation process, have a look at the "How does it work" section. For technical information, please refer to the dgm web site.

  • How does the Affiliate Tracking work?

    • Choose from a variety of banners, icons and text that allow you to enhance your customers' e-commerce shopping experience. You fully control the placement of these resources on your site and all banner updates are automated.
    • Earn money for each qualifying sale. A qualifying sale is defined as a customer who comes to the Apple Store from your site by clicking on one of the banners, and who purchases Apple products. Apple has the right to change the commission structure at any time.
    • A visitor generates qualifying sales up to a period of 30 days after his first visit from your site to the Apple Store.
    • Detailed reporting allows you to monitor the sales status at any time.

  • Is Apple Affiliate Tracking technology secure?

    • Apple works with dgm, a leading affiliate marketing service provider, to track your customers who click through to the Apple Store and purchase Apple products. Daily reports of all Programme activity are made available. dgm operates affiliation programmes for many leading ecommerce sites in Australia.

  • Who can join the Apple Store Affiliation Programme?

    • All types of web site can join the Apple Store Affiliate Programme, though Apple reserves the right to make its own selection in order to ensure that the Apple Affiliate network meets Apple’s quality standards.

    After you have submitted your candidature on the dgm web site, and after full completion of the Apple Store enrolment form, Apple will evaluate your candidature and accept or reject your enrolment. For more details about the enrolment process, have a look at the right column of the "enrolment" section.

  • How much will I earn for each sale?

    • A 2% commission on the sales transacted over the Apple Store from visitors to your web site. The commission rate will go up to 3.5% if you reach $5,000 sales value.

    You will receive this commission if your visitors buy any product available on the Apple Store during a period of 15 days after being redirected from your website to the Apple Store.

  • How often will I get paid?

    • You will receive a bank transfer each month, if your site referral fees reach $100 or more. If your referral amount is less than $100, your credit will be carried forward and a bank transfer issued when your site achieves $100 or more. To secure the timing of the payment, Apple and dgm maintain a reserve commission fund.
