FlexOffers
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
FlexOffers is an affiliate network, an intermediary between advertisers and publishers. The heading of the homepage is "Performance-Based Marketing".
Almost everything known about the conditions of work is taken from a single document — the unified terms and conditions, covering both publishers and advertisers. The document is open, and it contains what most networks do not have on open pages: the exact sums of the threshold, the schedule of payouts and — a rare case — a price list of the fees for withdrawing money.
But about the commission itself there is nothing in that document, and this is an arrangement characteristic of affiliate networks: the network is responsible for the money and the rules, the rate is set by the advertiser.
Who is admitted
The requirements are formulated through approval, not through numerical thresholds of audience.
The account must be approved by the network and be "in good standing" — that is, without violations. Traffic sources are submitted for approval separately: it is not enough for you to be accepted — each platform you work with is accepted in its own right.
The only numerical requirement in the terms concerns the quality of the traffic: a "minimum traffic quality standard" applies, with conversion of "1.0% or greater". This is a threshold checked not at entry but in the course of the work, and it relates to the result, not to the size of the audience.
There is no list of the countries from which publishers are accepted. The figure "27 countries" on the page for publishers relates to advertisers, not to the geography of admitting partners, and it cannot be transferred onto yourself.
How much they pay
The network does not name the rates. They were looked for on the page for publishers and in the terms — there are no figures either there or there; the commission is set by the advertiser in its own offer. Substituting a percentage here or averaging one is not allowed: it exists only inside a specific programme.
The lifetime of the click tag is not named in the terms. How much time after a click a purchase is counted to you is unknown from the open sources.
When and how they pay
The most substantial section of the deep dive: here the source has both figures and dates.
The schedule
The terms set a delay of sixty days: "NET 60 terms. This means that commissions earned during the month of March (1st – 31st) are processed 60 days later, on May 31st". The example is given in the terms themselves: what was earned in March is processed on 31 May. The payouts themselves go through on the 1st to the 7th of the following month.
Counting by this rule must go from the month of accrual, not from the date of the transaction: between the earning and the money in the account about two months pass, plus a few days for the transfer.
For subscribers to the paid PublisherPro programme other frequencies are possible — "Monthly, Every Two (2) Week, Weekly, or other payout frequencies". The frequency is named by the terms, but the conditions of the subscription and its cost are not disclosed in the document checked.
The threshold
The threshold depends on the method of withdrawal and differs radically: 25 dollars for ACH, a check, an electronic check (including a local one) and PayPal — and 1000 dollars for a bank transfer (Wire Transfers). The sums are given in the terms with a dollar sign.
A difference of forty times means that a bank transfer for small sums is unavailable in principle.
The fees for withdrawal
The charges are held back from the publisher, and in the terms they are listed by name:
- ACH — 1.15 USD;
- check (Check) — 3.45 USD;
- electronic check (eCheck) — 5.75 USD;
- PayPal US — 1.15 USD plus 2.00%, but no more than 2.30 USD;
- a bank transfer within the USA (Wire US) — 17.25 USD.
This is a rare case where a network publishes the cost of withdrawal before registration. Note the combination with the threshold: the bank transfer has at once both the highest threshold and the highest fee.
What must be disclosed
There is a requirement in the terms, but it is not about what one might think: "A Privacy Policy must be created and made available for consumers and other visitors for each applicable Publisher traffic source" — a privacy policy is obligatory for each approved traffic source.
The difference must be named outright: this is a requirement about a privacy policy and not a requirement to disclose the advertising relationship to the audience. A separate requirement to mark affiliate links as advertising was not found in the terms.
But this is not permission not to disclose: an obligation to disclose an advertising relationship may exist under the law of your country regardless of whether the network writes about it.
What the network will not do
It will not name the rate — that is set by the advertiser in its own offer.
It does not publish the lifetime of the click tag.
It will not pay quickly. The NET 60 delay is written into the terms as a rule, not as an exception: between the month of accrual and the payout about two months pass.
It will not take the transfer fee upon itself — the charges are held back from the publisher, up to 17.25 USD for a bank transfer.
It will not make a bank transfer for small sums: the threshold on it is 1000 dollars against 25 for the other methods.
It does not disclose the conditions of the PublisherPro subscription, although it is precisely that which gives more frequent payouts.
It does not say from which countries it admits publishers. "27 countries" is about advertisers.
It does not impose a requirement to disclose advertising to the audience — in the terms there is only the requirement about a privacy policy.
Not one of these silences proves that the condition does not exist — only that on the open pages it is not there.
Verified data
The checked data this deep dive rests on.
How the money works here
the applicant's site is checked against seven named grounds for refusal: «If we are unable to verify ownership of a traffic source, we cannot approve it»; «If a traffic source seems to be under construction or otherwise incomplete, it cannot be approved»; «Only traffic sources that provide valuable, original content can be approved»; «If a website or application is not live and accessible, our team will not be able to review and approve it»; «Traffic sources with low rankings may not be approved»; «Traffic sources that publish adult content are prohibited within our network»; «Traffic source URLs that contain advertiser branding or trademarks go against most advertisers' terms of service and cannot be approved». Each traffic source is declared separately: «Publishers may not allow links or Network content to be used with other traffic sources that are not disclosed and approved, including but not limited to social media accounts or email lists». Forbidden neighbouring content: «Any pornography, nudity, or any other sexual or adult material ... Any gambling, hate, propaganda, or material that encourages or promotes illegal activity or violence»
the network names no numeric traffic threshold: the phrase «traffic sources with low rankings may not be approved» is a judgement without a figure, and it is the network's statement rather than our inference. The quotations about declaring traffic sources and forbidden neighbouring content come from the terms at https://www.flexoffers.com/terms-and-conditions/

there is a review and its duration is named: «The FlexOffers approval process is designed to make sure that our network includes publishers who truly enhance our platform for advertisers»; «When a publisher submits an application, we carefully evaluate each traffic source to ensure it meets our standards»; «The approval process usually takes 1-2 business days». Approval into the network does not mean approval by advertisers: «Approval for the Publisher's account does not grant or guarantee approval for the Advertiser programs found in the Network». The network may exclude a partner at any time: «The Network retains the right to terminate the Publisher's account at any time, and for any reason that the Network sees fit»
the network publishes the reasons for refusal as a list, so a refusal is not silent, but no duty to explain a particular refusal is written into the terms. The robots.txt of www.flexoffers.com was read in full: the User-agent: * group begins with Allow: / and closes service paths, and /terms-and-conditions/ does not fall under the prohibition; the separate User-agent: AdsBot-Google / Disallow: / group does not concern us. The robots.txt of supportbeta.flexoffers.com closes only HubSpot previews
