Camera Girl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have just had a couple of sales where it states in my Account Balance: Alamy Commission 38.5%, Affiliate Commission 23%. I have never heard of the latter, so is this a new thing and if so, who are these 'affiliates' or is it the old 'Distributor Commission' under a different name and new terms (I am hoping so since the terms are better for us!). 02 March 2018 Sale EW6EJW Sale 32.32 02 March 2018 alamy Commission EW6EJW 38.50% 12.44 02 March 2018 Affiliate Commission EW6EJW 23% 7.43 02 March 2018 Sale C02BNN Sale 32.32 02 March 2018 alamy Commission C02BNN 38.50% 12.44 02 March 2018 Affiliate Commission C02BNN 23% 7.43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinS Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Alamy is taking 38.5% commission on these sales through alamy.com, despite the contract wording that states 50% (leaving 50% to contributor, see commission table). The 23% is 20% to the affiliate website, and 3% to Rakuten, who did not participate in this sale other than to provide the "creative" (link that drove the traffic to Alamy) and tracking, I suppose. The last time this was raised it was said that the contract would be updated to clarify this, but that was months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
