Overview
ClickBank is thrilled to announce the addition of our newest feature: CPA on ClickBank!
In addition to traditional revenue share (revshare), we are now offering Cost Per Action (CPA) commission as a means for sellers to pay affiliates.
A CPA commission, or cost per action commission, is a fixed commission amount paid to an affiliate when a specific action is taken. In the case of ClickBank, that action is the initial sale in a seller’s sales funnel.
However, CPA on ClickBank is different than CPA on other affiliate networks. Here's how:
- Exclusive commission calculator: Our calculator uses the maximum amount of available account data—including sales by product and individual affiliate performance—to help you fine-tune the perfect individualized commission.
- Robust reporting: Full sales reports, including profit per order (PPO), make it easy to manage your business and optimize profitability over time.
- No deposit required: With our dynamic withholding system, we protect your account balance based on actual sales and refund activity, no deposit necessary.
- Mixed commission types: Easily offer rev share and CPA on the same network! Customize your commission experience by product and affiliate.
- Easy to use: Set, pause, duplicate, and edit your CPA commission empire on the fly. Although it's underpinned by a lot of data, CPA on ClickBank is remarkably easy to use.
- No lost sales: If your account goes negative for any reason, our system simply switches from CPA to rev share until your balance is positive for 24 hours. You never lose a sale.
Who is CPA for?
CPA commissions are an attractive alternative to revshare commissions for many of the world’s biggest affiliates, particularly large cold-traffic affiliates. CPA is appealing because affiliates know exactly how much they’ll earn upfront for bringing in a sale, no calculations required, and they keep that amount regardless of any customer refunds.
For sellers, CPA on ClickBank is also impressive. There’s no deposit required, no complicated math, and a straightforward interface that makes it easy to offer precise, profit-powered commissions all in one place. Sellers can also readily switch between revshare and CPA on ClickBank.
