Hi , Can I but the product that i'm interested using my affiliate ID link ? Is it allowed by clickbank ?
Yep, it shouldn't really be a problem. I've heard though, that they might deny your order if you use the same email address as the one you used for your affiliate account. So just try a different email address if you run into an "Unable to authorize payment" warning.
Yes, you can buy with your affiliate link. I always do, as does everyone else. And you don't have to use a different e-mail. Keep in mind, however, that you have to make other sales in order to receive your cheque. You can't just open an account and use it solely for buying discounted products. Don't worry about buying through your own link. It's a common practise. Since I joined Clickbank, I've bought at least ten products through my hoplink, and even requested refunds on about four of them. I have never received any kind of warning. However, just don't go on a shopping spree. Keep it moderate.
I allways see people using their own ids to buy my CB product (my product is clickbank related so I can know that) so it can be done
do we get the commission if we buy from our own id ? what happen if we refund the product ? we get the money ? what about the product ?
Yes, you will get the commission if you buy through you own hoplink. Just don't buy too often. And note that, if your account is new and you have yet to receive a cheque, you must make a certain number of sales before your cheques begin to be sent out. I think it's five sales, but I'm not sure. If you request a refund, the commission will be deducted from your account. As to what happens to the product after a refund, that depends on what the product is. In most instances, the product is an e-book or a software application. As these are downloadable, they will remain in your possession after a refund. The merchant or Clickbank can't do anything.
From the Clickbank FAQ, you have to have atleast 5 cc numbers. 25. Can I purchase products through my own hoplink? The short answer is yes, but ClickBank does not condone affiliates using their accounts for this sole purpose. As stated in our Accounting Policy, "ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others." That is, affiliates should not be using their own hoplinks to purchase products for themselves and then collect a "rebate" check from ClickBank. Unless an account contains sales from made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard, our system will not generate a check for that account (even if the balance has met or exceeded the payment preference). PayPal and eCheck purchases do not count toward the minimum.
