PAYMENT OF AFFILIATES

Affiliate commission will be pre-approved after the order has been placed and confirmed by Viator and their supplier. We are able to record all transactions generated by your site, and operate on a 365 day payment window. NB: Some products are subject to a confirmation deadline as they will need supplier approval. Also, commission will be paid after the activity / tour / excursion has been completed - a Viator customer usually books 1 month in advance. If the customer cancels the activity / tour / excursion, no commission will be paid to the affiliate and the sale will be canceled on the Admitad platform.
