Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the MakeUpUSA.com Affiliate Program

What is the Commission Structure?

We pay a commission of 15% on each purchase by your direct customer, (excluding applicable sales tax and shipping and handling charges.) Example: A visitor to your page clicks on MakeUpUSA.com banner, visits MakeUpUSA.com, and buys two beauty products at $50 each. The sale is $100 (before sales tax, shipping and handling charges); your commission on this transaction is $15.00..

MakeUpUSA.com also pays a 5% commission on your second tier. In the above example you would earn $5.00 if the sale was made through the person who had signed up to be an affiliate from your site.

How much can I earn?

We can't predict how much you will earn in commissions from the MakeUpUSA.com Affiliate Program. Much of how much you earn will be up to you. However, we certainly believe that you'll earn more if you customize some text links that lead directly to the MakeUpUSA.com brand name product pages that correspond to your web site's subject. For example, if you have a web page about "How to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area" you should provide a link directly to the MakeUpUSA.com Eye Wrinkle Cream page.

When do I get paid?

MakeUpUSA.com pays its affiliates monthly. We offer a 14-day return policy. We are also conscientious about the potential fraud and abuses of the MakeUpUSA.com Affiliate Program. It often takes 30 to 45 days before consumers discover and report unauthorized charges on their credit cards, or report "lost" or "damaged" shipments. For these reasons, our contract provides that we do not need to send commission payments until 60 days after the end of each month in which an order has been shipped. For example, all commission checks for January sales will be sent no later than March 30. We will not write a check to any site until the site earns at least $25 in commissions.

Can I start earning commissions today?

Yes, most sites will be automatically approved. However, if your site contains questionable content as described in our affiliate agreement, then you should wait to begin making links. Your site will be visited within three days of your affiliation. If we feel your site is not up to our standards, your affiliation will be terminated.

Do I earn commissions on my own purchases?

Yes. When you buy products from MakeUpUSA.com, you can earn the same commission on your own cash or credit-card purchase.

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.)

Does it cost me anything to become an affiliate?

No, it's FREE!. You can get started by reading and accepting the MakeUpUSA.com Affiliate Program Agreement.

How does the system work?

You will have access to an online password protected reporting system that will provide you detailed statistics for your site.

Commission is earned when a sale from a visitor you sent to MakeUpUSA.com is shipped. We generate the commission statements with a statement of the fees due to you, and then we send you your commission checks. Reports are online.

Can I use images from MakeUpUSA.com on my site?

MakeUpUSA.com has been granted permission to utilize certain images in MakeUpUSA.com merchandising and marketing endeavors. Certain images may not be used under any circumstances. As an affiliate site, we will make available to you banner advertisements and the opportunity to create your own customized "beauty salon" using images from our site. If there is an image you would like to use that is not available on our marketing page, then call us or e-mail us and we will work with you to make a merchandise link available that complements your site. The images must be used in the context of selling cosmetics, make-up, nail care and/or skin care systems through MakeUpUSA.com. You are not authorized to use the images from our site for any other reason than to sell products through MakeUpUSA.com.

What about "Adult" sites?

Adult sites will not be able to put any of our products, logos, manufacturer's name, or their logos, trademarks or service marks on their site. We have a generic banner page that can be linked to the home page of MakeUpUSA.com. Adult sites may only link the generic banners.

What else should I know?

We are confident that you and your customers will love our products. You may find that you would like to place our products in local specialty shops, gift stores and beauty salons or you may enjoy doing home parties. You can also purchase our products wholesale as well as being our affiliate on the Internet. Should you want to purchase our products wholesale, there is a minimum wholesale opening order of $250.00 and reorders of $100.00. You will have to supply us with a copy of your resale tax license which can be obtained for $1.00 in most states. Read more about purchasing wholesale.
