-
10-19 Sales per Month, 7%
-
20+ Sales per Month, 8%
When and how do I get paid?
Commission fees are paid on a monthly basis as soon as you authorize your credit note in your account before the 10th of each month.
How are orders tracked and credited to my site?
By carefully following the instructions for collecting and placing links from your site to Crocs.co.uk, you’ll enable clear tracking of where each visitor comes from and who makes a purchase. We employ cookie technology for these purposes; links from your site contain your site’s unique source ID. Every time a user comes to us via your links, we know to credit you when a customer purchase is made.
Do affiliates get paid for repeat visits?
Yes. You receive commission fees on all sales generated from your site for thirty (30) days following an initial visit. This includes visits directly to our website. As you build your brand and customer loyalty, a customer that uses your link will renew their cookie for another thirty (30) days.
Can I take orders on my site?
No. Our frequent product updates, promotional price changes and in-stock availability verification are all part of our integrated shopping environment. In order to ensure product availability tracking, reporting and superior customer service, we must host the transaction. We take care of the order, customer service and fulfillment so you can focus on your website and traffic development.
Do you have online reporting on how much money I’m earning and how my links are performing?
Yes. Once you have been accepted into the program, you will be given access to your Affiliate Partner Tracking and Reporting Interface in your Zanox account. You will be able to view your earnings and traffic reports at any time. These reports not only show you what you earn, they also track other site performance indicators that will assist you in fine-tuning your participation and maximizing your income potential. Do I earn commissions from my own purchases? Yes. You can earn commissions on any purchases you make from visiting Crocs.eu through your own site’s Crocs Online Affiliate Program link, accessible through the Zanox interface.
What about product returns?
If a user returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account will be debited for any commission earned on that transaction. If a product is returned in exchange for new merchandise, or if goods are lost or damaged and we ship replacement goods to the customer, your commissions will not be affected.

We reserve the right and will respond swiftly to suspend our partnership and any links to those who abuse their opt-in e-mail members. We will not diminish our brand by association with spammers.
Can I use the Crocs™ trademark to promote my site?
Affiliates may not use the Crocs™ trademark for traffic generation or search engine registration techniques including, but not limited to, inclusion in meta tags or purchase of the Crocs™ trademark as a search term. The Affiliate Agreement includes a list of trademark terms that are considered off limits. The purpose of the affiliate relationship is to generate traffic to the Crocs™ site by leveraging the traffic generated by the affiliate’s site through its normal advertising programs, brand awareness, value proposition, etc. Using Crocs™ brand to generate traffic to an affiliate’s site or redirecting traffic to another site is inconsistent with the basic purpose of this affiliate program.
Anything else I should know?
You will need to read the Crocs Online Affiliate Program Agreement and confirm your understanding of the terms and conditions in that document. You will find the entire contract between you and Crocs.eu on the agreement.
