Clear rules for earning with Evolve.
This policy explains promotion, attribution, commission clearing, manual payouts, and the standards every Evolve affiliate must follow.
Version 2026-08-29 · Effective August 29, 20261. Joining and eligibility
You must provide accurate account and payout information, use the program lawfully, and keep your account secure. Evolve may approve, decline, suspend, or close an affiliate account when needed to protect customers, merchants, or the program.
2. Required affiliate disclosure
Clearly disclose your financial relationship with Evolve wherever you share an affiliate endorsement or link. The disclosure must be easy to notice, understand, and placed with the endorsement—not hidden on a profile page or behind “more.”
“I may earn a commission if you purchase through this link.”
Platform disclosure tools may be used in addition to this statement, but not as a substitute when the relationship would otherwise be unclear.
3. Approved promotion
- Use honest demonstrations, reviews, comparisons, social posts, email, blog, and video content.
- Use approved product facts, prices, guarantees, and creative assets.
- Follow the rules of every advertising, email, search, and social platform you use.
- Do not make medical, income, performance, scarcity, or customer-result claims that Evolve has not approved.
4. Prohibited activity
- No self-referrals, fabricated orders, cookie stuffing, spam, misleading redirects, forced clicks, or attribution interference.
- No fabricated testimonials, fake reviews, deceptive claims, brand impersonation, or domains and accounts likely to be confused with an official brand property.
- No trademark bidding, coupon bidding, unauthorized discounts, or paid ads that direct-link to an offer unless Evolve has approved them.
- No promotion to audiences or in jurisdictions where the product or claim would be unlawful.
5. Tracking and attribution
Commission is based on Evolve’s recorded tracking and verified merchant payment events. A click alone does not create commission. Orders that cannot be reliably attributed, duplicate events, self-purchases, canceled orders, and fraudulent or manipulated activity are not eligible.
6. Commission and clearing
Each offer shows its current commission rate and clearing rule. Digital-offer commission may clear after the payment is verified. Physical-offer commission remains pending through the offer’s stated refund window. Refunds, returns, disputes, chargebacks, cancellations, and invalid orders may be rejected or deducted before or after a payout.
7. Manual payout schedule
Explorer, Earner, and RiserOne request every 14 days
Climber and PerformerOne request every 7 days
On-demandNot unlocked
A payout interval begins after the previous payout is marked paid. Only cleared, unreserved commission is available. An open request blocks a second request until Evolve finishes its review.
8. Minimums and methods
The first payout requires at least $100 in available commission. After the first completed payout, the minimum is $50. Balances below the applicable minimum remain safely recorded and roll forward.
Current manual methods are PayPal/Venmo, Wise, and direct bank deposit. Direct bank deposit is currently limited to US affiliates. Availability may vary by country or provider. Affiliates are responsible for provider, receiving, conversion, and intermediary-bank fees.
9. Tax and payment verification
US affiliates must complete and have a Form W-9 verified before a payout request can be approved. Non-US affiliates may be asked for the appropriate tax documentation. Do not send taxpayer identification numbers or bank-account credentials through ordinary email or enter them into an unapproved field. Evolve may require identity, tax, address, or payout-account verification before releasing funds.
10. Manual review and holds
Every payout request is reviewed for attribution, refunds, disputes, tax readiness, account consistency, and unusual or fraudulent activity. Evolve may place a request on hold while it investigates, ask for supporting information, reject invalid commission, or recover an overpayment from a future balance. A hold is not a forfeiture of valid commission.
11. Suspension and termination
Serious or repeated violations may lead to removal of links, withheld invalid commission, suspension, or termination. Valid cleared commission remains subject to final review, minimums, tax documentation, and the applicable payout schedule.
12. Updates and support
Evolve may update this policy as the program, offers, laws, or payout operations change. Material changes will apply prospectively unless a faster change is required for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance. Contact Evolve support through your account workspace with policy or payout questions.
