Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do I need to become an affiliate?
Nothing! Except a desire to be an affiliate.

You don't even need a website (although having your own website helps). You can promote our products via search engines (click here to learn how), postings in internet forums, or simply emailing all your friends and people you know with your affiliate link to our products.

All you need to do is to send a visitor to our site via a special link (called an 'affiliate link'), and if they buy anything from us, you will get 7% commission on every confirmed sale received for Dover - Dunkirk route bookings.

2. How do I know I will be paid for my referral?
The program uses powerful affiliate tracking software which uses cookies to track referrals for best possible reliability. When a visitor follows your affiliate link to our site, our affiliate system registers this referral and places a cookie on his or her computer.

When the visitor pays for the product, our affiliate system checks for cookies (if not found it checks the IP address of referral) and credits your account with 7% of the sale value.

This process is absolutely automatic. All your referrals will be properly tracked.
