How do I become a Blurb affiliate and how does it work?
Anyone who operates a family-friendly website is eligible to join the Blurb Affiliate Programme (subject to the Programme's terms and conditions).

It's easy - just join up here.

After you apply for and are accepted into our Programme, you can start earning cash through your customers' Blurb purchases. You'll be able to place links via banners, text links and other creative anywhere on your website.

When your visitors click through to the Blurb website via these links, that visitor is tracked until they place an order. Then that order is associated with your website as the referring source and your Affiliate Window account is credited 12% of the entire order. At the end of each month, Affiliate Window will pay out the entire amount of revenue share you've earned in the previous month once you've reached a £25 minimum. So the more visitors you refer to Blurb who become Blurb customers, the more you get paid—and unlike many other websites, you get paid every time that customer places an order within 60 days, not just the first time!

Can websites outside of the UK become Blurb affiliates?
Yes - we currently have Affiliate Programmes in Germany, France and the US.

Are there any fees or costs associated with becoming a Blurb affiliate?
There is a £5 sign-up fee for Affiliate Window that will be reimbursed once your commission exceeds £25.

What commission levels does Blurb offer?
You will receive 12% commission on all sales (5% commission for voucher websites) and a bonus per newly acquired customer.

Exceptionally high performing affiliates may enjoy a higher revenue share and other exclusive benefits. If you are already an affiliate, contact us to see if you qualify.

How long do the cookies last?
Blurb cookies last for 60 days. This means that you get credit for any referred customer who returns to the Blurb site within 60 days, even if they do so directly.

Where can I get an overview of general affiliate information and marketing?
Please check the FAQ section on the Affiliate Window website for definitions and answers to basic questions.

Can I contact someone at Blurb if I have more questions?
Yes - since we're committed to making our affiliates successful, we have a dedicated Affiliate Programme manager to help answer your questions. Please see our Contact page for support.

Can I use Blurb graphics and content from the Blurb website?
The entire Blurb website and content are protected by copyright. You may use images and content from our website in the promotion of our products on your own website, but this content must be attributed to Blurb and be used for intent of sale of Blurb products. If you have a special circumstance that requires the use of any graphics, product images or content in a manner that is not consistent with the above, you must contact us for written approval prior to use of any such content.

What sales and revenue reports does Affiliate Window provide?
Every transaction is logged on Affiliate Window servers and available for your review in detail.

Affiliate Window will provide real-time tracking of your clicks, sales, and commissions.

Please don't contact Blurb for this information - we don't have access to your account.

On what Blurb products do I earn a commission?
There are no limitations or restrictions on which Blurb products can be sold through our Affiliate Programme. And there are no limits on the amount of commission you can earn as an affiliate.

How do you treat product returns and affiliate sales?
If a customer referred by your site returns or cancels an order for refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to online credit card fraud, Blurb may debit your account for any commission earned on that transaction.

How often do I get paid by Affiliate Window?
Affiliate Window will pay your commissions each month via BACS or Cheque (you choose which), once your account has reached a credit of £25 for BACS or £100 for cheque, before the end of the previous month.

For example, if you earned £100 of credit from January 1 through January 31, you'll receive a payment in the end of February.
