Outstanding.com -Domain Name Affiliate FAQ

How much do I get paid in commissions?
Transparent affiliates set their own resale prices for domain name registrations. The cost of registration to a transparent affiliate is $14.95 per domain. We bill your client the resale price you choose. We pay you this resale price (less a 5% credit processing fee) minus your cost of $14.95. For example, if your resale price is $30.00, we bill all your clients $30.00 (charges appear on their statement as "Domain Registration"). The 5% processing fee on $30.00 is $1.50- making your total $28.5 minus your cost of $14.95. Thus, you would receive $13.55 for every domain you register through OUTSTANDING.COM.

How often do commissions get paid?
OUTSTANDING.COM pays commissions on a monthly basis by check in US dollars. OUTSTANDING.COM sends out commission checks by the end of the month for payment of affiliate commissions from the previous month. You must have more than $50.00 accumulated in your account in order for a check to be cut. Any amount in your account less than $50.00 is rolled over to the next month. For example, if you register domains in October, and you have accumulated more than $50.00 in commissions, your check will be cut on or around November 28th.

No!
