  • Treat displayed commission information as offer-specific data, not guaranteed income.
  • A valid external purchase and attribution path may be required before commission is earned.
  • Disclose the commercial relationship clearly when promoting affiliate game offers.

Some recommended games include creator commission-rate information. In the current store builder, a game recommendation can expose the maximum creator commission amount and its currency as an ‘earn up to’ value for review. This is product data, not a universal earnings promise.

Commission eligibility depends on the specific game, offer, partner terms, attribution, region, and completed external transaction. Creators should read the current offer information and any applicable agreement before describing expected earnings.

Read the displayed value correctly

The builder formats an ‘earn up to’ commission only when the recommendation contains a finite non-negative maximum commission and a currency. If either field is missing, the interface does not fabricate a value. The maximum of a range is not the amount earned for every sale.

The customer-facing offer also has its own price and currency. Do not assume the commission currency, customer currency, and creator account currency are always identical.

Follow the attribution path

OpenCreators creates an offer-specific redirect before sending a visitor to the external store. This path matters because it identifies the selected product and offer. Replacing it with an unrelated direct link may lose the attribution context.

A click alone does not prove a payable transaction. External checkout completion, cancellations, refunds, fraud checks, regional eligibility, and partner reporting can affect the final result.

Promote with accurate disclosure

Tell the audience when a recommendation can generate compensation. Place the disclosure where the promotion is seen, use plain language, and follow the laws and platform rules that apply to the creator and audience.

Separate personal experience from catalog facts. If the creator has not played a game, do not imply otherwise. If a price is time-sensitive, name the store and date or direct people to the live offer page.

Measure the right outcome

A useful recommendation optimizes audience fit and trust before click volume. Review which games lead to informed questions, qualified clicks, and completed outcomes where reporting is available. Remove stale or irrelevant offers.

Keep independent records of campaign copy, disclosure, destination, and the offer visible at the time of promotion. Those records make it easier to investigate discrepancies without overstating what the storefront itself proves.

Frequently asked questions

Is the commission shown in the builder guaranteed?

No. It is recommendation or offer data and can depend on the final transaction, attribution, partner terms, and eligibility.

Should affiliate relationships be disclosed?

Yes. Creators should use a clear disclosure and comply with the advertising and platform rules that apply to their audience and location.
