Coupon based
Pick a coupon and give the affiliate its code, or let them see its codes, or create their own, in their app. Sales with one of those codes pay them.

Affiliate and partner payouts
Commission on coupon codes, links or product sales, for creator deals, referrals and revenue shares. Moonbase tracks each sale and pays your affiliates every month, so there's no payout run on your side.
Three ways to earn commission
A contract earns commission through the rules you choose. There is no special affiliate link or cookie to set up: marketing rules use the same UTM tags as your sales analytics.
Marketing based
Fill in the UTM values a link has to carry. Sales from those links pay the affiliate, whether they land on your storefront or on a Moonbase buy link.
Content and ads
Product based
Every sale of a product, and if you like the bundles that include it, pays the partner while the contract runs, whoever brought the buyer.

Contracts and commission rules
Every contract has its dates, its rules and a commission basis. Change the rates whenever you like: new sales earn the new rate, and past sales keep the commission they earned.
- A share of your net payout, or of revenue before fees
- Within a contract, only the best matching rule pays
- Separate contracts each pay, never more than your payout on the sale
- Recoup an advance from commission before it is paid out
- Subscription renewals keep paying while the contract runs
- Refunds and chargebacks take the commission back

For your affiliates
An app of their own
Affiliates sign in to follow what they earn, find their codes and links, and download their payout invoices. Contracts from every merchant they work with sit in the same place, so nobody asks you for a monthly report.
- Dashboard
- Commission and sales over time, by country, referrer, traffic type and UTM.
- Contracts and codes
- Each contract's rules, the link suffix to use and the coupon codes they may see or create.
- Privacy kept
- Affiliates see each sale and its commission, never the customer's name or email.
- Managed affiliates
- Create affiliates through the API, with no Moonbase login, and let them verify on your own site, in a frame.
“The flexible targeted discounts are definitely the highlight for us from a sales perspective, this would have been a nightmare with a different platform.”

Frequently asked questions
Through the contract's rules: a coupon code the buyer enters at checkout, UTM values on the link they arrived from, or every sale of a product. When several rules in one contract match, only the highest percentage pays.
Orders that pay an affiliate commission add 3% to the transaction fee. There is no monthly fee for running affiliates, and Moonbase takes no payout fee from them.
Once a month. Each month closes on the 1st and is paid out from the 15th, in the currency of the affiliate's bank account. A month with only a small balance rolls over into the next.
The commission on the refunded part is taken back, as a negative line in the affiliate's payout for the month of the refund. A chargeback takes back the whole commission, and a won dispute adds it back.
No. A contract earns from its start date whether or not the affiliate has accepted the invitation. Their commission waits for them until they have set up their account.
No. Affiliates see each sale they earned on, with its products, amounts and commission, but never the customer's name or email.
Yes. A product-based rule pays a share of every sale of a product, and optionally of the bundles that include it, whoever brought the buyer. Add a recoupable cost to the contract to recover an advance from the commission first.
