Frequently asked questions

How much commission will I receive?
New affiliates receive a minimum of 30% commission on direct sales. You can also earn through the Multi-level Affiliates feature (20% for Level 1, 10% for Level 2, 5% for Level 3). Commission rates may be adjusted with 30 days' prior notice by email.
Is there a minimum I have to earn before I get paid?
Yes. You must earn a minimum of EUR 100 in commissions before payment can be made. If the minimum is not reached, the total is carried over to the next month.
Which payment methods and currencies are available?
Payments are made via PayPal in euros. You can set your PayPal details in the affiliate dashboard under the Account page.
I haven't received last month's payment. What do I do?
This may be for several reasons: you may not have reached the EUR 100 threshold, your invoice may not have been uploaded by the 10th of the month, or the sales may still be within the 30-day money-back guarantee period. If you believe there is an error, email us.
Are there any costs to participate?
No. There are no monthly or fixed costs to participate in the G.D.G. Software Affiliate Program.
What information will I receive on my sales?
You can access detailed sales reports in your affiliate account dashboard, including visits, sales, and commission statuses (Pending, Unpaid, Rejected, or Paid). We do not disclose end-customer data, as you are not the legal owner of it, in compliance with GDPR.
How can I end my participation?
You can end your participation at any time by sending a written notice by email. After termination, remove all affiliate links from your website. Any unpaid commissions related to violations of our Terms and Conditions will be withheld.
