Check these before you apply: - **How it pays:** Most hosts pay a set amount once per sale. A tiered program raises it with your monthly sales, so the headline figure is the top tier, and a recurring share keeps paying while the customer stays. See recurring programs: https://openaffiliate.dev/programs?category=Infrastructure&type=recurring - **When a sale counts:** Many hosts pay only after the customer stays past the money-back period, and take back refunded sales, so the first payment comes weeks later. - **Rules on ads and coupons:** Many bar bidding on their brand name, some want approval before any paid ads, and some turn away coupon sites. - **Cookie window:** Many hosts do not publish one. A longer window credits readers who compare hosts for a while before they buy. See programs with a long cookie: https://openaffiliate.dev/programs?category=Infrastructure&cookie=90 - **Getting paid:** Check the payout minimum, the currency and whether PayPal or a bank transfer works where you live.
