Can you tell us what they will not be paying commission on - such as wedding insurance perhaps?

Its refreshing to see a merchants term and condition distinguishing between returning sales and new sales so transparently. Nice one AW.

On AF it mentions just 5% though - I wonder if thats just for new customers? (calling AF!)

Any answers? I mean money talks. (or it maybe the beer in the hot sun!)

Morning all,

Thanks for your questions.

Confetti are offering commission on all the products which can be purchased directly on the Confetti site (this currently stands at over 1300).

Unfortunately Confetti will not be paying commission on wedding insurance, wish list or gift vouchers as these are not processed on the site.

This raises the point that Confetti is a great user friendly site offering a large amount of information for the end user, which is one of the reasons it is so popular. However, I appreciate that this perhaps raises concerns of its ‘affiliate friendliness’ in terms of the links and leakage. This is something which was discussed with Confetti prior to launch and steps were taken such as creating an affiliate landing page which omitted the ‘other ways to shop’ section on the generic click-through. The conversion on-site remains high and we will continue to work with Confetti to consider other ways we can help reduce these issues.

With regards to the commission levels, this is a new tiered structure Confetti have taken to award you more for new customer purchases, with the opportunity to earn a higher 6.5%.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Many thanks,
Anjulie
