Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the TikTok For Business Affiliate Program.
How does the TikTok For Business Affiliate Program work? Is it associated with my Upwork account?
The TikTok For Business Affiliate Program allows affiliates to earn a commission when driving new users to use TikTok For Business. Upwork is not associated with the TikTok for Business Affiliate Program and your accounts are not linked in any way. All affiliates must apply and join the program through Impact. Once you sign in or create an Impact account, let us know by contacting affiliates@tiktok.com and sharing your account ID number. Your account will go through our standard approval process. Once accepted into the program, you will have access to promote TikTok for Business and can start earning a commission (a flat-fee bounty of $40 USD) on conversions that you drive through your website/social channels. In your Impact account, you will be able to create your own affiliate links that have unique tracking automatically tied to your account – this way, when a conversion comes through, the Impact system will attribute it to you.
How can I share my affiliate links?
How you choose to promote TikTok For Business to your clients is up to you. You know your clients better than anyone, so we encourage you to be creative! To share your links, you can use actual text copy or embed the affiliate link into an image or video. The program is flexible with most methods of promotion, for example sharing links via email, social media platforms, in-person, or your own website if you have one. Creative assets are available in Impact. If you need additional data, case studies, or images, please reach out: affiliates@tiktok.com.
How do I receive payment?
Upwork is not associated with the TikTok for Business Affiliate Program and your accounts are not linked in any way. Commissionable conversions are captured in real-time and will be reflected in your Impact Publisher account. When an action comes through via your affiliate link, you will be able to actively monitor your performance and review commissions earned. In terms of when you will get paid, commissionable actions lock 15 days after the day they are tracked. Since TikTok wants to ensure partners are paid quickly, actions are approved 15 days after they lock. For more information on payment processing, please review our "How Are Partner Payments Processed?" article below.
