The most unique feature of the sign up process to the Awin network is the requirement of a 1 EUR/GBP/USD (or equivalent) deposit in order to proceed with the application. As the only network to request this, we want to provide insight into why we do this:
- Credit or debit card providers have had to verify your identity in order to issue a card which adds an extra layer of verification that we can use to ensure the applicant is truly the person applying to join the network. We accept any credit or debit card providers, including American Express. Awin does not have access to any card details as this is handled by a secure third-party provider who verifies associated information for us.
- Implementing a payment within the sign-up process helps us deter unscrupulous users from signing up with multiple accounts and therefore helps to keep our applications dedicated to genuine affiliates.
Once your application has been processed, the 1 EUR/GBP/USD deposit will be added to your publisher account, and reimbursed to you once you reach your first payment threshold. If your application has been rejected, you can request the deposit to be refunded to your associated card. Please contact us via the contact form and select "Network Signup" under the "Topic" field. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund this automatically.
Can I get a receipt for the registration fee?
We do not raise invoices for the 1 EUR/GBP/USD verification fee when you join Awin. This deposit will be credited back to your account when you join the network and is paid with your first publisher commission payment, when you have met the payment threshold.
Once the threshold has been met, a payment is generated in the system and can be viewed in the payment history. Through this link you are then able to view the details of the payment including the individual commissions, which will also include the verification fee. This is the self-billing invoice that we raise that enables us to make payment on the commissions. You will be able print this off yourself once your first payment has been generated.
For your information, you can view what commissions you have generated through the Commission Details link in your account.
What payment method should I use for the registration?
We accept VISA, MasterCard and Maestro (debit or credit).
