Is the recurring billing markup model the same as the standard product markup model?
No. ClickBank purchases standard products, initial subscription payments, and rebills for subscriptions with a price of $40 or more from the vendor at a wholesale price equal to 92.5% of retail, less a $1 stocking charge. Subscriptions where the rebill price is less than $40, ClickBank purchases the rebills for the subscription from the vendor at a wholesale price equal to 90.1% of retail. For affiliate directed sales, the commission percentage is subtracted from the net sale price. Here is an example of how commissions would be calculated if a vendor offered a 55% commission for a 12 month subscription where the initial payment is $29.95, and the rebill payments are $9.95: Initial Payment: $29.95 55% Commission on Net Sale: [($29.95 x 92.5%) – $1.00)] x 55% = $14.69 Rebill Payments: $9.95/month for 11 months Net Sale Amount for each rebill payment: $9.95 x 90.1% = $8.96 55% Commission on Net Rebill Payments: $8.96 x 55% = $4.93 Total Earned by Affiliate for this Subscription: $14.69 +
