How are affiliate commissions calculated?
Affiliate commissions in the DrHouse affiliate program are calculated using a flat cost-per-acquisition (CPA) model, meaning you earn a fixed amount each time a referred user completes a qualifying purchase through your unique referral link.
Quick Answer:
- Flat commission per conversion (CPA model)
- Earn when a user completes a purchase via your link
- Typical payout starts at $80 per conversion
- No earnings for clicks or sign-ups alone
- 30-day cookie window applies for attribution
How Commission Is Calculated
DrHouse uses a fixed payout structure, not a percentage-based system.
- When a user clicks your affiliate link, a tracking cookie is placed
- If that user books and pays for a service within the attribution window, it counts as a conversion
- You earn a predefined flat fee for that conversion
For example, if your commission rate is $80 and 10 referred users complete a purchase, you would earn $800.
What Counts as a Qualifying Conversion
A commission is only triggered when:
- The user clicks your unique affiliate link
- The user completes a paid service (such as a virtual visit)
- The action occurs within the 30-day cookie window
Actions like clicks, app installs, or account creation alone do not generate commission.
Tracking and Attribution
All tracking is handled through the affiliate platform (Awin):
- Each affiliate link is uniquely tied to your account
- Conversions are automatically tracked and reported
- The 30-day cookie window ensures you still get credit if the user returns later to purchase
Limitations / What to Know
- Commission rates may vary by campaign or change over time
- Earnings depend entirely on completed purchases (not traffic volume alone)
- If a user does not convert within the cookie window, no commission is earned
- All payments and reporting are managed through Awin
