# Commissions

We've partnered with thousands of brands who pay commissions on sales you drive.

## How it works

1. Make requests with your Channel3 API key.
2. Surface products.
3. When a shopper clicks on a link, we track it.
4. If they make a purchase, we track that too.
5. The sale shows up in your dashboard.
6. After the retailer's return window closes, you get paid. (Securely, via Stripe.)

Commission rates vary by product, brand, retailer, and shopper geography. Find current rates in the [Brands](https://trychannel3.com/dashboard/brands) and [Websites](https://trychannel3.com/dashboard/websites) sections of the dashboard. Search responses also include an offer's `max_commission_rate`.

Pull clicks and transactions programmatically with the [Reporting API](/guides/reporting).

## Required disclosure

If you show Channel3 product links or offers to your users, you must tell them:

> We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page.

Place this disclosure clearly and conspicuously on every page, screen, or message where links appear — near the links, not only in a footer or terms page. This is required by our [Terms of Service](https://trychannel3.com/terms).

## Your share

We take a 50% cut of commissions paid out on our platform. This rate will reduce as you drive more sales.

Retailer availability and commission eligibility vary by product and market. A retailer being listed here does not mean every offer is commissionable. Use the rate shown on each offer to determine eligibility.

## Changes and adjustments

Retailers can adjust or cancel commissions because of returns, order cancellations, suspected fraud, attribution to another channel, or network-quality concerns. Complete identity verification in the dashboard so earned commissions are not withheld.
