Your burning affiliate questions, answered.

You sure do! Projects also count towards your lifetime sales. Commissions for projects are $25 for Ace Affiliates, $35 for Pro Affiliates and $50 for Brand Partners.

Great question! Once you hit the required lifetime sales, we'll send you an email letting you know. We'll automatically bump you up to the next commission level, so there's nothing you need to do on your end.

German & French assets are also available. For any other languages please reach out to affiliates@99designs.com and we’ll see what we can do.

Yes! We have a dedicated support team for our affiliates. They are ready to answer any questions and help set you up for success. To contact our affiliate support, email affiliates@99designs.com.

After logging into your Impact account, use the Create a link box on the main page (p.s. this does not work for custom links). Alternatively, you can use a link shortening site like bit.ly or tinyurl.

Let's use Jane as an example. Jane has heard of 99designs by Vista but has never made a purchase before. She searches online for how to get a tattoo designed before bringing it to a shop. She finds your site, clicks your affiliate link, and purchases a contest for tattoo design on 99designs. Once the transaction goes through, you will get a commission as this is Jane’s first purchase on 99designs.

Once you reach the Pro Affiliate tier (25 lifetime sales), you’ll have access to a custom landing page. Affiliates at the Brand Partner tier get a full white-glove experience complete with a landing page plus other benefits.

We’ll give you a bonus if you hit a certain number of conversions in Impact per month.
10 actions = $50
25 actions = $100
50 actions = $250
If you are an Ace Affiliate, you are eligible for a $25 bonus when you hit 5 actions in a month.
