How Commission is Earned Through Your Glamhive Links

At Glamhive, you can earn commission on sales when a shopper makes purchases through your personalized links, whether for styling services, curated wardrobe items, or partner brands. Below, you’ll find answers to key questions about how commissions are earned and tracked through Glamhive.

 

What Happens After a Shopper Clicks Your Glamhive Links?

When a shopper clicks on one of your Glamhive links—whether on a style board or shared via social media, blog posts, or emails—a tracking cookie is embedded in the shopper’s browser. This cookie tracks purchases made through your specific link during an active cookie window.

If a shopper makes a purchase through your link during the cookie window, you will receive commission on the total cart value, as per the retailer’s terms. Please note:

  • If items are returned, commission will be adjusted and reflected in your earnings report.
  • Some brands may have exclusions on commissionable items or variable rates for different product categories.

 

 

Cookie Window Durations

Cookie window durations vary by brand and retailer. Most Glamhive partners offer cookie windows that range from 7 to 30 days, with an average duration of 7-14 days.

 

 

How Browsers Affect Tracking Cookies

Tracking cookies are specific to the browser and device used when the shopper clicks your Glamhive link. Here’s how it works:

  • Same Browser: Cookies remain active if the shopper stays within the same browser.
  • Browser Change: If a shopper clicks your link in Safari and then switches to Chrome, the cookie will not transfer.
  • Desktop vs. Mobile: Cookies do not transfer between desktop and mobile browsers.

For example:

  • If a shopper clicks a link on their mobile device but completes the purchase on a desktop browser, the commission will not track.
  • Instagram and social media browsers do not always support tracking cookies. To ensure commissions are earned, shoppers must complete their purchase within the same browser window.

 

 

App-to-App Tracking

If a shopper clicks your Glamhive link and has the retailer’s shopping app installed, the app may automatically open, interrupting cookie-based tracking.

Commission Rates Per Brand 

Each retailer sets its own commission rates, which may vary based on product categories. For example, higher-value or luxury goods may offer lower commission rates compared to other items.

When using Glamhive’s tools to generate links or curate wardrobe recommendations, you can see the commission tier associated with each brand by clicking on the Retail Network page. Please note that commission rates are subject to change at any time.

 

Receiving Credit for Sales

Sometimes, your link may lose credit for the sale due to factors like:

  • The shopper clicks another affiliate link or promotion before completing their purchase.
  • Discount codes or one-time promo codes override the commission source.
  • Search engine links (e.g., Google Shopping) embed a new tracking cookie.

To ensure you receive credit for sales:

  • Always use clean URLs when generating Glamhive links.
  • Avoid additional tracking codes that can interfere with attribution.

 

 

How to Remove Extra Tracking Codes

Retailer links often include additional tracking parameters that can interfere with Glamhive’s tracking. These parameters typically follow a ? in the URL. Be sure to:

  • Copy only the core product URL before creating your Glamhive link.
  • Remove any content following ? or other symbols.

Example:

  • Original URL: https://retailer.com/product123?ref=google&campaign=summer
  • Clean URL: https://retailer.com/product123

By using clean URLs, you improve your chances of accurate commission tracking.
