Please note, our community is tight knit and we maintain a safe space for sharing and expression, so we would love to get to know you with all the above questions before approving the sign up.
Only approved affiliates will be sent a link to register. Affiliates cannot submit their code to coupon websites, or their commission will be invalid! Referrals must come from the affiliate's platforms and community and not from third party websites.
Scoria World Inc. has the right to terminate any candidate in the program for any reason, and will send an email to notify them in advance. Affiliates terminated will be notified. However, if we find out that the affiliate is engaging in any of the acts such as coupon websites, spamming, a non-completion in their profile or in actions that are not in alignment with our ambassador program and community related to the field of wellness/yoga/health, then Scoria World Inc. has the right to also not complete the affiliate payments and terminating the affiliate. And, our terms policy can be changed frequently. All joined affiliates agree to these terms and conditions.
Q: Who do you approve?
All affiliates must have in their records the above questions answered in our "how to apply" instructions and account could be terminated if not full information/ transparency is present from the affiliate. Our community consists of individuals passionate about Scoria and who have either a passion related to, or a personal business related to Scoria's mission and products; such as yoga, wellness, sustainable living, low-waste, fitness, health, non-toxic living and mindfulness. If your field also relates to that as well that is great! However, we do not accept coupon-related websites or entities that only promote promotions and discounts. This is purely for individuals who want to become part of our community and speak about our brand to their own community with their own personal touch and to represent our values.
Q: What is this affiliate program about?
A: It's simple. Each approved ambassador obtains a discount code for their audience and a referral link for their audience. For each successful purchase from the ambassador's own referral through link or discount code, the ambassador gets a 10% referral fee (commission).
There is no catch, no upfront investment. All you need is a PayPal account to receive your payments. Our ambassador program is mainly created as a thank you for those who are already passionate and sharing about us! This is a way to receive something in return when sharing and spreading the word about us. So, this is also about getting a chance to become part of our Scoria's OM-bassador community. We are currently working on connecting everyone together and sharing resources with our ambassadors if you wish to connect with us in that way.
Q: What are other benefits of this program?
Affiliates will obtain a 20% off discount to shop on our website with an exclusive and special ambassador discount code. Affiliate will also gain exclusive access to Scoria's OM-bassador community where we speak monthly about valuable input to pursue your passion, mindset, tips & advice on personal brand, blogging and more! Please note you cannot make any commissions on your personal purchases (any order that is for you, you can only get the 20% off on the purchase and no commission on your own purchases)
Q: What are the codes or links that I can give my friends/ students/ community/ audience?
1. You will get a discount code to share: this is great to share when you are referring to someone in person such as: yoga teaching/ hosting group circles, classes and other. This code can also be shared on Instagram (however, for the most effective referrals, we suggest using the affiliate referral link in the bio)
2. A unique affiliate link to share for digital referrals. (this is especially great to use if you have a blog- where you write articles and can hyperlink, a YouTube- where you can add a link in your video description, Instagram bio to link, or even a link on your website)
Advice: It benefits affiliates a lot more when promoting the link over promoting the discount code; in the case that you are promoting digitally on social media or website! Since we have a 90 day cookie, if someone clicks on your unique link and doesn't purchase at the time, you still have a high chance to earn commission when they come back through an advertisement or other.
Terms and Conditions
Commission:
For each successful sale made from your affiliate link, 10% of the purchase amount will be credited to your account. There is no cap on the commission you can earn. Commission is calculated on final sale price only; excluding shipping and excluding any discount code used by the customer.
Example: An item cost $80 and $8 for shipping. Customer has a discount code of $5 off. The commission earning will then be 10% of $75 ($80 sale price - $5 discount, shipping is not included), which is a $7.5 commission.
Tracking & Transparency:
Each affiliate can track the number of views/sales generated from his/her unique link through our Affiliate platform. Views can only be seen through the affiliate's unique link. Sales will be seen if referral uses either code or link. In order to track properly, make sure your referral uses your unique affiliate link or unique discount code.
Cookie period validity:
Our cookie is valid for 90 days! This means that after clicking the referral link, a purchase needs to be confirmed in the next 90 days. The customer does not have to click on the original affiliate link as long as 90 days have not passed, the sale will still be registered under the affiliate. If 90 days has passed and no purchase is made, the cookie will expire and only a new click from the affiliate link will reactivate the cookie for another 90 days.
Payments:
You don't need to do anything to receive payments after you sign up, except for having a PayPal account and add when signing up your correct PayPal account email.
You will have to sign two accounts under the same email:
1) USA & International account (Currency: USD)
2) Canada's account (Currency: CAD)
We require a Paypal account from all affiliates. Each account must reach $25 in its currency in order to receive the payment/ be paid. In case your balance is less than $25 and you still wish to withdraw your balance, we will then charge a processing fee of $3/ account from the currency of the account you want to withdraw from.
Payment frequency:
We usually process payments that reached the minimum commission withdrawal amount in the first 1-3 days of every month. Payments processing usually takes about 2-3 business days, and upon approval your balance will be instantly available in you Paypal account.
VIP Affiliates:
From time to time, bonuses and free items would be given to our VIP affiliates. Our best performing affiliates are considered VIP when they have reached at least 30 paid orders. Such an event will be notified to you through email as well as the corresponding terms and conditions.
Freedom/ No-exclusivity:
The beauty of this affiliate marketing is that there is no pressure to acquire any sales and there's no pressure on only being an ambassador with us. You can also love and share any other brand you want and spread the abundant love for all other businesses. As we are excited about this like-minded community and are grateful for the passion you have for Scoria and spreading the word, we appreciate our ambassadors so much and the impact that this community has for us. And we hope we are able to show you that and always thank you for being yourself, passionate about the earth, our creativity mission and for supporting us!
Suspension:
If an affiliate has not been active for 6 months (no link views) we will notify the affiliate and let them know to ask if they want to keep the account. This is not to pressure you at all, this is just for us to check in to see if you would still love to be a part of our community. We have limited room in our affiliate dashboard and this is just to make more room. And, if your account has been suspended and you wish to join our program again (maybe had a shift, change of heart, or we added something you are so passionate about to share with others, started a new blog, or whatever it is), drop us an email and you always have room to be welcomed again.
If we re-assess our affiliates list and decide to terminate an affiliate, the affiliate will be notified. We will also give a reason to the affiliate, but we have the right to terminate any individual without any reason. We will make sure that the affiliate has the monthly payment settled for their commission before termination, and everything else on that account will be frozen or deleted after termination and completing the last months payment for the affiliate.

- Besides of plainly sharing links, post pictures of individual products as well as an appealing caption. Again, don't forget to include your affiliate code in the link
- Post on relevant message boards
- Be creative! However, only restrictions are below...
NOT to do:
- Please do NOT submit your discount codes to coupon websites. The referral must come from your own sharing of the brand, and not by leaving the discount code on coupon websites. In the case we find your code on coupon websites, we will have to change the code or contact the website to take it down.
- Please do NOT advertise with the impersonation that you are the company itself! Be clear with your messaging and be transparent, it is okay to mention that the link you are putting out is an affiliate link, people will possibly even support and buy from your link, it is also great when you share your opinion about the product genuinely and tell others about your experience with the product in an honest way, while also providing the link
- Please, do NOT spam. If you are in a Facebook group, read guidelines in the platform or page you are using before posting the link everywhere.
