Questions? We’ll help
Pick a topic or write to our team directly.
Do I need a lot of followers to sign up?
No. CPA Hunter works with creators of any size – from 500 followers to millions. Both big and small creators earn – what matters is engagement and consistency, not follower count. Some of our top creators have audiences under 10,000.
I don’t consider myself a blogger – is this for me?
Yes, if you have an audience that listens to you. It doesn’t matter what you call yourself: blogger, creator, Telegram channel admin, podcast host or simply someone whose recommendations 1,000 friends trust. They all earn with CPA Hunter.
How quickly will I start earning?
You can create your first link 15 minutes after signing up and publish it right away. Most creators get their first sales within the first week. Reaching a steady $300/mo depends on your niche and consistency: usually 1-3 months.
Is registration on CPA Hunter paid?
No. Registration is free – no entry fees, subscriptions or hidden charges. We only earn when you earn.
Do I have to wait for approval on every program?
No. Only your traffic source is reviewed – your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Telegram – and it usually takes less than an hour. After that all 45,694 programs are available instantly: create a link and publish. This is the key difference from Awin, CJ and Admitad, where every program waits 1-3 days for separate approval.
Can I have more than one account?
No, each creator may have only one account. If several accounts appear, we will merge them into one main payout account or remove the extras. Sharing a payout method with someone else, or using someone else’s (PayPal, bank account), is not allowed – it leads to account removal.
How do I connect and verify my social accounts?
You connect through the network’s official authorization (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch, X). We request read-only access, never receive your password and never post on your behalf – we only see basic public profile info. You can disconnect an account in settings at any time.
What is account verification and why might my account be under review?
We verify every account twice: at sign-up and before your first payout. The status can be confirmed, under review (extra details needed – reply to our email within 3 weeks) or declined. This protects the platform from fraud and keeps access open to creators of any size.
How do I create an affiliate link?
In three clicks: find the brand or product in the catalog of 45,694 stores and services, hit “Create link”, copy your unique tracked link and share it. A Chrome browser extension is in development, launching in Q4 2026. After launch you’ll be able to create links right from any store page, without opening the catalog.
Which platforms can I share links on?
Anywhere you have an audience: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), Pinterest, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, a personal blog or an email newsletter. There are no platform restrictions – the link works the same in Reels, Stories, posts and videos.
Do I need a website or a blog?
No website needed. CPA Hunter is built for creators on any platform – social networks, messengers, video or podcasts. You can even share links in DMs or private groups.
Is there a mobile app?
A full mobile app for iOS and Android is in development, planned for Q4 2026. For now every platform feature works through the mobile site – creating links, statistics, payouts, support.
Where do I see statistics for my links?
In your dashboard: for every link you see clicks, sales and earnings in real time. There is also detailed statistics by day, by platform and by content format. If you create separate links for Reels, Stories and your bio – you immediately see what makes money and what doesn’t.
How is it determined that a purchase came from my link?
Every link carries your unique identifier. After a click, the store or affiliate network ties any following purchase to that click within its attribution window. The window varies by brand and is usually stated in the program terms. If the shopper clicks another affiliate link before buying, attribution can shift to the last source.
I see a click but no sale – why?
A click shows up almost instantly, but a sale appears only after the store or affiliate network sends us the order data, which can take anywhere from minutes to several days. A sale may not count if the shopper checked out on a different device, clicked another affiliate link right before buying, cleared cookies, or the store did not attribute the order. If a sale never shows up, save the date, store, amount and order number and message support – we will check the transaction with the network or brand.
How much can I realistically earn?
It depends on your niche, engagement and consistency. Real numbers: a creator with 5K active followers earns $100-500/mo. With 25K – usually $500-2,000/mo. With 100K and regular affiliate posts – $3,000-10,000/mo. There is a calculator on the homepage – enter your parameters and see the income forecast for your situation.
What commissions do brands pay?
The range is wide and depends on the product type. Regular retail (clothing, small electronics) – 3-8%. Beauty, fashion, home goods – 5-15%. Finance and apps – $20-500 per sign-up or install. Subscription programs (courses, services) – 20-30%, and the commission repeats with every renewal. For some stores the exact rate (a percentage or a flat amount) may not be known in advance – you will see the final percentage or flat fee in your dashboard after the first confirmed sales.
What if a customer returns the product?
The commission is paid after the brand’s return window closes – usually 30-60 days. A return claws the commission back, but on average across the platform fewer than 5% of purchases are returned – especially if you make honest reviews rather than an aggressive “buy right now” push.
Are there bonuses on top of commissions?
Yes, three kinds: (1) a referral bonus for an invited creator – 10% of their commissions for the first 6 months; (2) higher rates for performance – a loyalty system with up to +36% on top of the base commission; (3) exclusive brand campaigns with higher payouts for specific formats.
What is the loyalty system (Start/Super/Hype/Platinum)?
These are automatic commission increases based on your income over the last 90 days. Start – standard rate (the default for everyone). Super (from $300/90d) – +14% on top of the base commission. Hype (from $1,500/90d) – +29%. Platinum (from $7,500/90d) – +36%. Levels rise automatically, no applications needed. The more you earn, the higher your rate on every next sale.
Is there an affiliate program for creators?
Yes – 10% of the income of every creator you invite, for their first 6 months. We pay it on top of their usual commission – your friend loses nothing. No cap on the number of invites or the amount. If your invitee earns $5,000/mo, you get an extra $500/mo.
How do I avoid losing commission to Honey, cashback sites or returns?
The main sources of lost commission are browser extensions (Honey, Rakuten), which swap your link for theirs at the moment of purchase, and cashback sites that intercept the last click. Protection: ask your audience to turn Honey and Rakuten off before buying (“it helps the channel”) and use a deeplink to the specific product rather than the store’s homepage – that gives extensions fewer chances to hijack attribution. More in the “How not to lose your commission” block on any niche page.
What must I avoid so I do not lose my account or commission?
Prohibited: self-purchases and orders from your own devices for commission, bot traffic and inflated activity, cookie-stuffing, bidding on stores’ brand keywords, unauthorized or third-party promo codes, and price-error deals. See the account rules and verification page for the full list.
Why can my earnings change or disappear after showing up in stats?
Right after a purchase the commission shows as pending. The store checks the order: whether it was paid, not cancelled and not returned, and whether the program conditions were met. Once checked, the commission becomes confirmed. If the order is cancelled, returned or found to break the program rules, the commission can be reduced or declined. Only confirmed commission is paid out.
How and when do I get paid?
You can withdraw your available balance once you reach the minimum threshold: your first payout is from $20, subsequent ones from $50. Funds arrive within 7 business days to your chosen method – crypto wallet, PayPal, bank account, Payoneer or Wise. Only confirmed commission is paid out – after the store or network has confirmed the sale and the money has actually arrived.
What payout methods are available?
Crypto (USDT BEP-20, USDC – no fees and the fastest, we recommend it), PayPal, bank transfer (SEPA / SWIFT / ACH), Wise, Payoneer, Neteller, Skrill. You can change the method at any time in settings.
What about taxes?
You declare taxes yourself in your country of residence. We provide annual income reports compatible with the tax reporting of most countries. Legally you receive income as a self-employed person, a sole trader or an individual – depending on your country. CPA Hunter does not withhold taxes automatically.
Can I get an invoice or closing documents?
Yes. In your dashboard you can download an invoice or a statement for any period – for accounting, tax filing or proof of income. Available as PDF and in formats you can import into accounting systems. For questions about closing documents – write to support, we reply within an hour.
What is the minimum payout threshold?
You can withdraw once you reach the minimum threshold shown in your dashboard: your first payout is from $20, subsequent ones from $50. Amounts below the threshold stay in your balance until it is reached.
How do the first payout and the startup bonus work?
The startup bonus is credited at sign-up but is paid out only as part of your first payout, and only once you have reached the threshold on your own confirmed earnings. It cannot be withdrawn separately and is forfeited on rule violations or bad-faith traffic.
How do I delete my account and what happens to my balance?
Account deletion is irreversible. Any withdrawable balance is paid out before closure within 7 business days if it has reached the minimum threshold; amounts below the threshold are not paid. Personal data is deleted, but we are legally required to keep accounting records for the period set by law.
What happens if I do not use my account for a long time?
If you do not log in or use the Service for 350 days, we will warn you, and if inactivity continues we will delete the account 180 days later; any remaining balance is forfeited. Just drop by from time to time to avoid this.
When does earned commission become available to withdraw?
First the commission shows as pending. The store confirms the order after the return and review periods pass (usually 30 to 60 days depending on the program) – then the commission becomes confirmed and moves into your available balance. From there, a withdrawal of the available balance arrives within 7 business days of your request. In other words, the store confirmation time and the payout time itself are two different things.
Which brands are on CPA Hunter?
45,694 stores and services across every niche – tech, finance, subscription programs, fashion, beauty, home and interior, travel, gaming, wellness. From mass retailers (Amazon, Best Buy) to premium brands directly (Apple, Booking, Coinbase). The full list is in the catalog, searchable by name or category.
Which niches earn the most?
Finance and investing ($50-300 per sign-up plus recurring payouts), subscription programs like courses and services (20-30% of every renewal), travel ($20-100 per booking), tech (5-10% with a high average order value of $300-2,000). Every niche page has concrete numbers on commissions and conversion – it depends on your platform.
Can I work with other networks?
Yes. CPA Hunter can be used alongside any other affiliate network – Awin, CJ, ShareASale, Impact. We don’t require exclusivity. For many creators we recommend using us as a complement to one or two main networks, to cover the brands they don’t have.
What if my niche isn’t there yet?
Unlikely: 45,694 stores cover practically every niche, from small hobbies to narrow professional topics. But if you really found a gap – write to support or to partnerships@cpahunter.io. We regularly add new brands at creators’ requests, especially if you can confirm audience interest.
Can I promote Amazon?
Yes. Working with Amazon comes with extra conditions: you must follow Amazon’s rules and always include a disclosure such as “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” See the Amazon affiliate program section in the Terms of Use for details.
Do individual brands have their own rules and limits?
Yes. On top of the general CPA Hunter rules, individual brands may set their own limits: allowed countries and platforms, promo-code use, paid search, brand keywords, traffic types and other conditions. Before you post a link, check that specific program rules – they are on the brand page.
Is CPA Hunter a legitimate service?
Yes. CPA Hunter is a product of Landcompany OÜ (registered in Tallinn, Estonia). The platform has been running since 2024, and reviews can be checked on Trustpilot. As of today – 45,694 affiliate programs and creators from the US, Canada, the EU and the UK.
Do I have to disclose an affiliate link?
Yes – regulators in the US (FTC), the EU (DSA) and the UK (ASA) require you to disclose the affiliate relationship. On Instagram and TikTok – turn on the “paid partnership” label. On YouTube – the paid promotion tag. In posts and videos – “#ad” or “#sponsored” at the start. Disclosure templates for different platforms are in your dashboard.
What about data privacy?
We comply with GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California). We never sell your data to third parties. Connected social accounts are used only to verify ownership – read-only, no posting; disconnecting revokes access immediately. We train models only on anonymized data and never let third-party AI learn from your data. Data export and account deletion are one click away in settings – no support tickets, no week-long approvals.
Will I get a personal manager?
Creators earning from $1,000/mo get a personal manager – help with picking programs, higher rates from brands and exclusive campaigns. All other creators get support via WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram and email, with a reply within an hour during business hours.
Is there training and a community?
Yes. A knowledge base with breakdowns by niche and platform – every niche page has its own set of tactics. A private Telegram chat with other creators – available after your first payout. Once a month we run webinars with top creators – case studies, new programs, changes in platform rules.
Can I reach you on WhatsApp, Telegram or Viber?
Yes. CPA Hunter supports messengers – WhatsApp, Viber and a Telegram bot. It’s more convenient than email: a reply within an hour during business hours, you can send a screenshot or talk things through by voice. Contacts are in the “Support” section of your dashboard or at the bottom of any page.
What if my account is blocked by mistake?
If you believe a block or decline is a mistake or a technical glitch, email hello@cpahunter.io within 30 days and request a review. We will review it in good faith and, if an error is confirmed, restore access and your earned commissions.
