ClickDealer

ClickDealer logo on the cover of the review

ClickDealer states that it offers publishers exclusive offers from global brands to monetize their traffic. The FAQ describes weekly net 5 for eligible long-term partners, while the affiliate agreement provides for monthly NET 15 or weekly NET 7 payment plans at ClickDealer’s discretion unless otherwise mutually agreed. Media buyers comparing network access with a direct program should check which document governs each decision and payment term.

ClickDealer names both account sides

ClickDealer’s FAQ, homepage, About page, and publisher terms describe the following, checked on 2026-10-31.

  • Publisher offers: exclusive offers from global brands (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Advertiser reach: online media channels (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Core verticals: e-commerce, home services, insurance, legal services, education, and healthcare (FAQ, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Additional named verticals: retail, pay-per-call, lead generation, health and beauty, downloads, and telehealth (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Vertical count: ClickDealer says it operates in 40 verticals (About page, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Publisher-terms entity: CDI Marketing Group B.V., or another entity named in a signed Insertion Order (publisher terms, checked 2026-10-31).

Advertisers and publishers meet through offers

The publisher agreement governs an individual’s participation as an affiliate in the ClickDealer Affiliate Network. For advertisers, ClickDealer says its terms govern service use alongside the applicable Insertion Order. These are separate documents for separate account sides, so check which one applies to your role.

ClickDealer describes publisher access to exclusive offers from global brands and advertiser reach across online media channels. The publisher terms distinguish Regular accounts from Smartlink Only accounts; the latter are restricted to Smartlinks rather than the full offer portfolio. Confirm the account type and relevant offer terms before planning a campaign.

Postbacks connect offers and reports

Publishers can add global or campaign-specific postbacks and test them without an actual transaction, according to ClickDealer’s FAQ. The FAQ also describes API calls for offer feeds, tracking links, pixels or postbacks, and reporting customization. These tools cover offer discovery, tracking, and reporting functions within the network.

The publisher agreement limits API calls to 500 per day unless a ClickDealer representative expressly agrees otherwise. ClickDealer’s publisher terms state that limit; check whether an exception has been agreed before building an API-dependent workflow.

On the advertiser side, ClickDealer may ask advertisers to place tracking tools, with placement and testing their responsibility. The publisher-facing postback options and advertiser-side tracking obligations are distinct: confirm the required setup with the applicable offer and advertiser terms.

Publisher payouts follow separate terms

The FAQ and publisher agreement give different weekly-plan wording; the agreement also gives ClickDealer discretion over the plan unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Both sources were checked on 2026-10-31.

  • FAQ — default monthly net 15; eligible long-term partners may receive weekly net 5 — checked 2026-10-31.
  • Publisher agreement — monthly NET 15 or weekly NET 7 at ClickDealer’s discretion, unless otherwise mutually agreed — checked 2026-10-31.

The FAQ says the payout minimum exceeds US$500 per billing period; the publisher agreement distinguishes Regular and Smartlink Only accounts, with minimums over $500 and $100 respectively, subject to stated exceptions. Read the applicable account terms alongside the weekly-plan wording.

Payment routes differ between the advertiser terms and the FAQ. The advertiser terms say payment is by bank transfer, while other methods may be accepted by agreement; the FAQ lists wire transfer, cryptocurrency, PayPal, Tipalti, and Payoneer.

Advertiser billing is separate from affiliate payouts: ClickDealer says advertiser compensation is set in the Agreement, and invoices generally fall due within 15 calendar days unless the applicable Insertion Order sets different terms. The advertiser terms also state that undisputed overdue payments accrue interest at 24% per year or the maximum rate permitted by law.

Applications lead to account decisions

ClickDealer reserves 72 working hours to review applications, according to its FAQ. The FAQ says affiliate account eligibility depends on performance marketing experience and areas of expertise. Treat the review period as an application-processing statement, not an indication of acceptance.

The publisher agreement requires an individual to be of legal age in the country where the account is registered. It also says an affiliate may create only one account using their own identity information unless additional accounts are expressly preapproved in writing. Get written approval before creating an additional account.

Offer distribution has separate conditions: sub-affiliates require written approval from a ClickDealer representative. Affiliates may publish offers on websites and in email correspondence subject to the agreement, policies, and offer terms. Email promotion is allowed only when the advertiser permits it in the offer description or a representative gives express written permission. Check each offer’s permitted channels before sending traffic.

Terms leave campaign and account control

ClickDealer retains discretion over campaign review: its advertiser terms allow it to reject, suspend, postpone, or cancel campaigns or advertising material. The same terms do not promise a particular quantity or quality of traffic, publications, conversions, or clicks. For advertisers, that leaves campaign acceptance and traffic expectations as separate uncertainties to account for.

Access itself is described as provided as-is and as-available, and ClickDealer says external factors may disrupt it. Advertiser liability under the Agreement is capped at the amount payable for the billing period in which the issue occurred. Those terms constrain what the advertiser can expect from service availability and remedies.

The publisher agreement says commissions may be deemed void and written off if an account is inactive for 12 months and payment was not requested during that period. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time with 48 hours’ notice. The FAQ states that loyalty points have no cash value, are non-transferable, and confer no property rights in rewards or benefits. Check the payout and termination clauses before relying on an account balance or reward.

Several details are listed under What we could not confirm.

The network supplies offer and tracking tools

ClickDealer’s FAQ, About page, homepage, and support information describe these functions, checked on 2026-10-31.

  • Offer sourcing: ClickDealer says it gives publishers exclusive offers from global brands to monetize their traffic.
  • Tracking and reporting: the FAQ lists API functions for offer feeds, tracking links, pixels or postbacks, and reporting customization.
  • Postback checks: publishers can test global or campaign-specific postbacks without an actual transaction.
  • Reporting tools: ClickDealer describes its in-house platform as including granular reporting and optimization algorithms.
  • Support materials: ClickDealer lists email and a contact form for support, and says affiliate-portal tutorials are available in multiple languages.

These functions cover offer discovery, tracking, and reporting; check which tools apply to the account and offer being considered.

Offer rules shape publisher fit

ClickDealer names e-commerce, home services, insurance, legal services, education, and healthcare among its core verticals. Publisher eligibility depends on performance marketing experience and areas of expertise, according to its FAQ.

The account type affects access: Smartlink Only accounts are limited to Smartlinks rather than the full offer portfolio. Promotion also depends on offer conditions, including written approval for sub-affiliate distribution and permission for email promotion. Before planning around a vertical, check the account type and the specific offer’s permitted channels.

Direct programs change the comparison

When comparing a network with a direct affiliate program, compare who controls offer access, how tracking is arranged, and which document sets payment terms. In general, a direct relationship places more of those checks between the publisher and the advertiser; compare the actual terms rather than assuming either route is simpler.

What we could not confirm

  • GEO availability and exclusions by country or region
  • Individual offer commissions and conversion qualification criteria
  • Hold periods, validation rules, and commission reversals
  • Application materials, approval outcomes, and program access workflow
  • Traffic-source eligibility for offers beyond stated email conditions
  • Publisher payout currencies, withdrawal fees, and processing times
  • Attribution windows, reporting retention, and conversion-dispute procedures
  • Support response commitments and escalation procedures
  • Funded media buying eligibility and arrangement terms

Questions about publisher terms and tracking

How do the FAQ and agreement describe weekly payment plans?

The FAQ describes weekly net 5 for eligible long-term partners, while the publisher agreement provides for weekly NET 7 at ClickDealer’s discretion unless otherwise mutually agreed. The wording differs by document, so identify the applicable agreement and any mutually agreed variation before relying on a cadence.

How does Smartlink Only differ from Regular access?

Smartlink Only accounts are restricted to Smartlinks rather than the full offer portfolio, according to the publisher agreement. The terms identify Regular and Smartlink Only account types; check which applies to the account before assessing access to an offer.

Which API functions does ClickDealer name?

ClickDealer’s FAQ lists API calls for offer feeds, tracking links, pixels or postbacks, and reporting customization. Those functions span offer information and reporting as well as tracking; the publisher agreement separately sets an API call limit and an exception process.

What does the FAQ say about testing postbacks?

The FAQ says publishers can test global or campaign-specific postbacks without an actual transaction. This gives a way to check the postback setup without first generating a transaction; confirm the campaign’s required configuration before using it.

When can an affiliate distribute offers through sub-affiliates?

The publisher agreement permits sub-affiliate distribution only with written approval from a ClickDealer representative. Treat that approval as a condition for distribution, rather than assuming access to an offer also authorizes a downstream arrangement.

When is email promotion of an offer permitted?

The publisher agreement allows email promotion only if the advertiser permits it in the offer description or a ClickDealer representative gives express written permission. Check the offer description or obtain the specified written permission before using email for that offer.

The agreement sets the working route

Fits if… the workflow values network-supplied offers and tracking functions, with account access and promotion checked against the relevant terms.

Probably not if… the operation requires a single, uniform account route across the full offer portfolio; Smartlink Only accounts have narrower access.

Main risk… the FAQ and publisher agreement differ on weekly payment wording, while the advertiser terms retain campaign review discretion.
