Getting paid for your sales
Your FreshStore stores generate commissions through a special "affiliate" relationship with big merchants like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.
How to Get Paid
To receive these commissions and get paid, you need an affiliate account, which is free and fast to open. You enter a few basic details about yourself and the bank account you want to get paid to.
When you make sales in your store, you will see them in the reports inside your affiliate account. After a length of time (usually 30 days), the money will be sent to your bank account.
Open Amazon and eBay Accounts First
We recommend opening your Amazon and eBay accounts first, which will likely make your first commissions in most niches.
You only need one affiliate account for eBay, which works with sales from around the world. For Amazon, they require a different account for each country.
We strongly recommend you open an Amazon USA (amazon.com) affiliate account first to save time. You can open accounts for other countries later when you start making sales.
After that, continue building your stores and open the other affiliate accounts after you have launched your first stores.
Opening Your Affiliate Accounts
Creating your accounts is fast and easy. Please follow the guides linked below:
We recommend opening the following accounts a bit later once you have launched your first store:
Questions and Troubleshooting
Do I need to open all of the accounts right away?
No, and we recommend opening an Amazon account as a minimum. You can create the other accounts later once you have finished your store.
What if I don't want to promote one of the merchants?
You can turn off any of the merchants (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc.) in your store. You don't have to promote every merchant.
How long does it take to open the accounts?
It takes just a few minutes to enter your details and open the accounts. Your Amazon account will be opened immediately, and the other affiliate accounts might have a short delay before they confirm your account.
In the final guide of the "Getting Started" section, we will take an overview of what will come in the rest of the success training guides.
