Frequently Asked Questions
How much money do I earn for generating sales through my links?
You earn referral fees when a visitor follows a link from your website to Kolbe.com and makes a purchase. You can earn up to 8% in commission. As a reminder, fees are only distributed on items that are purchased from the KAP link from your website to Kolbe.com's website during a session. Fees are not earned if a user returns to Kolbe.com at a later time without following your affiliate link.
When and how do I get paid?
We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, we will send you a check for the referral fees earned.
