How PayoutDeals works

PayoutDeals is a free directory of affiliate programmes. This handbook explains the labels and tools on the site. Playbooks for running affiliate as a publisher live in Guides.

What this site is

It is not an affiliate network. It does not issue tracking links or pay commissions. Networks such as Awin, Impact, and CJ handle tracking and payment. Listings here point you to those programmes (or to a merchant’s own affiliate page) so you can compare public terms in one place.

Browsing listings, filters, saved deals, and apply links does not require an account or a fee.

Rates and terms are set by merchants and networks — always verify on their portal before promoting. Apply and Join go to official programme or network URLs. We do not currently use our own referral links. Full wording is on the disclosure page.

How we check listings

Apply links are checked automatically. A live page is not the same as a programme still being open — that is what the Verified badge is for.

Commission and cookie figures are a snapshot of public terms. Confirm them on the network or merchant site before you promote.
