Miscellaneous
What is the "mixed revenues" model?
A product will often be offered by more than one of our partners. Some of them will pay you in the “normal” way (as a commission on items bought via your store), but some will now pay you every time someone clicks on one of their offers.
With regard to earning commissions, there are a few choices:
1. Pay Per Click (in Orange) - every time someone clicks on certain products in your store, you get paid.
2. Pay-per-Action (Sale) (in Blue) – When someone buys certain products via your shop, you get a commission.
3. A mix of the two (i.e., Orange OR Blue). With this option, you can earn per click OR per sale – but NOT both! Be sure to choose the mixed option.
Why choose a mix of the two
(i.e., Option #3)? There are several reasons:
It means that your visitors are presented with a greater variety of products.
For some of your products, the number of offers displayed in the shopbot will
be greater. It’s a good way to make sure that your visitors get the best price.
It guarantees you some revenue.
At the moment, you can get 50 visitors clicking on items in your shop without any purchases - which means no revenues. Now, you can get paid for every click. To display “per-click” offers on your shop, you must accept the relevant terms and conditions by logging in to Zlio. But, be careful! You are not allowed to click on your own “per-click” offers! How can you tell whether an offer is paid “per sale” or “per click”? Pay Per Sale offers have a blue background; Pay Per Click have an Orange background.
Remember that you need to set the filter offers when adding a product. It’s very important to filter your products properly as commissions are tied into this function. When you add a product to your shop, you need to click on “Choose your per click offers” and filter the product effectively.
Also keep in mind that if an offer is only Pay-per-Click, then commissions are earned only for Pay-per-Click. The same is true for Pay-per-Sale. With Pay-per-Sale, if a customer doesn’t actually buy the product through the Zlio shop, then no commission is earned. But if a customer gets to a merchant’s shop through a Zlio shop, and he decides to buy another product that is not part of the Zlio site, the Zlio shop owner will still earn a commission from such a sale.
