The Patchbay Affiliate Terms & Conditions

The Patchbay Affiliate Program allows you to earn real money when a user clicks through your tracking link and places an order. When an order is successfully tracked, you will gain a commission on the entire cart contents.

This is done by using a tracking cookie, and also, your Affiliate ID number. Signing up is as easy as navigating to your affiliate dashboard from within your main account, and the process includes a simple setup of your affiliate information such as payment details and agreeing to the terms.

When an order is tracked, your account balance will update in realtime. Periodically we produce a mass payout on any balance over £20. If your balance is less than £20 you can request a payout manually at any time by opening a ticket. Once a payout is complete, your balance will be reset to 0 and you can see the transactional data in your transaction area. Transactions are automated.



By agreeing to these terms and continuing to use The Patchbay Affiliate Program you agree to adhere to these terms. We reserve the right to remove access at any time to The Patchbay Affiliate Program and the reasons will be explained to you.
