What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
An affiliate program, or partner program, is software that allows you to generate income by placing (affiliate) links on your website, email, and/or social media. When a customer comes to our webshop via such an affiliate link and places an order, you, as an affiliate, receive a commission on the total order value (the amount a customer pays).
With our affiliate program, you also receive a personal discount code that you can give to others or promote on your website, social media, or email. If this discount code is used, you receive a commission on the full order value (the amount a customer pays). This means you are no longer completely dependent on affiliate links, but can also generate income by giving your discount code to friends, family, colleagues, customers, or anyone else.
What are the advantages of your affiliate program compared to others, such as Tradetracker?
What are the advantages of your affiliate program compared to others, such as Tradetracker?
Using our own affiliate program compared to other systems, such as Tradetracker, has several advantages:
- You can create a personal discount code that you can use for promotion on your website, social media, and/or email.
- Using your discount code makes it more attractive for users to click on your links, thus generating more revenue for you (they get a 10% discount on our own brands).
- Your discount code can also be promoted 'offline'. This means that if you give your discount code to someone and they make a purchase in the webshop using this code, you will also receive a commission on it. This means you are not entirely dependent on affiliate links to generate income.
- The commission through our own affiliate system is 10% (discount packages not included), and only 7% through Tradetracker.
- At Plent, communication lines are short. Do you have questions or comments? You can quickly get in touch with the right person who can help you further.
- Our affiliate system is simple and well-organized. You don't need any technical knowledge to use it.

How much commission do I get?
How much commission do I get?
You will receive a 10% commission on the total order value of orders placed via your affiliate link or personal discount code.
For example:
- A visitor sees an image or text link on your website that refers (with a tagged affiliate link) to our webshop. They click on the link, land on our webshop, and place an order with a total order value of €50 excluding VAT. Your commission is calculated on the total order value excluding VAT. So, you receive €5 commission on this order.
- You have given your personal discount code to a friend. Your friend goes to our webshop and places an order for which they receive a discount using your discount code. They place an order with a total order value of €50 excluding VAT. Your commission is calculated on the total order value excluding VAT. So, you receive €5 commission on this order.
Please note: commissions are only finalized after 30 days and then added to your account (if the order has not been canceled or returned) due to the right of return and the right of withdrawal.
