Flipkart: The Online Megastore is one of the leading Indian e-Commerce website which is primarily used by many to buy books. You too might have spent some money for buying any product from it and even referred Flipkart to your friends for buying any specific product, how cool it could be if you can earn some commission when you refer a product on it and your friends buy it. Like a friend of mine always keeps track of some good deals on internet and he refers it to me and other friends and if we like it we buy it. But he gets nothing or no profit to do that. But Flipkart has its ‘Affiliate program‘ through which you can earn money i.e some commission when a friend of yours buy the product you refer him.
What is Affiliate Program ?
It is a program in which a company pays some commission to a person known as its ‘affiliate‘ for referring customers or users who buy any product from that company’s website.
Flipkart Affiliate Program: Sign Up Link
On Flipkart’s Affiliate Page, you can check out the commissions rate they give category wise. They give 6% commission for books i.e Rs. 6 commission for a book of Rs. 100.
How it Works ?
After you sign up and confirm their mail log in to your flipkart affiliate account. You will be able to see your unique Affiliate ID also known as Tracking ID which is used for tracking that the user has come to the site through your link. Don’t forget to fill and re-check your Payment details.
You will be able to see your Affiliate tools like the Banners, search bars if you want to promote it through your website. You can create your affiliate link for a particular product by just adding your affiliate id after adding ‘?affid=‘ at the end of any product url you want to promote. Then send this link to your friends who are interesting in buying that product.
As soon as any clicks on the link containing you affiliate id and buys the product, you gain commission.
Important Info:
- The Sale is counted if the user buys within 24 hours after your affiliate link has been once visited.
- You get paid for all the products the user buys after he visits flipkart from your affiliate link. It means that if any user opens flipkart through your link of Steve Jobs book and then he buys another 5 books, you get paid for all the books provided it is within 24 hours.
Payment Methods:
Flipkart pays its affiliate in 2 ways:
- EFT: The money is directly deposited in your bank account once you reach Rs. 2500 [Min. Payment Threshold for EFT-Electronic Funds Transfer].
- Gift Voucher: You can use the money to purchase a product on flipkart once you reach Rs. 250.
Few Tips:
- Make a website on Book Reviews and promote books there.
- Use URL shortening service like bit.ly to shorten your affiliate link.
- Promote the products you buy on Facebook giving your review about the product.

Thankz for sharing such a useful information….sure after my exams I am going to try this Flipkart Affilate.
Ya Simon, try it and share with us your success with Flipkart Affiliate..
Thanks for simplifying this, Kaxil! Does it work if I add the affiliate id to the landing page of Flipkart, and someone clicks on it to search further and buy? Or say if I link to a particular product category and someone searches and buys from another category?
Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated 🙂
Yes, Shivya it does work. Once user visits through your affiliate link, you will be paid commission for any product he buys from the website for 24 hours.
I have signed up for it. It’s given they give 5% for computers. Do they give really that much :/
Yes they do give .. what they tell…
they can buy within 24hrs
are you a flipkart affiliate
Yes
thats a amazing info.
Flipkart is best affiliate program in india.
Pretty! This has been an extremely wonderful post. Thank you for
providing this info.
why do other people will buy from our blogs or websites
they can buy the product directly from Flipkart.??
Good Question bro. But lets say I want to buy a product at the cheapest price from web for e.g A Mouse and I search on Google for price comparison and you might have made a post on your blog comparing prices of a certain mouse on Infibeam & Flipkart. Thus, I would click on your link and ultimately purchase it. The other thing is You might have your friends who love to shop online, just tell them to buy from your link when buying.. 🙂
Do they deduct TDS or something if someone chooses EFT mode of payment?
No they haven’t deducted any of TDS for my money…
If someone enter in flipkart through my affiliate link and then he close browser and if he enter in flipkart after 3 or 4 hours and purchase.In this case can i get commission?
Yes you get the commission for it. Once the user visits Flipkart via your link, the cookies are stored in his browser for 24 hours. So no matter if he closes & reopens the browser, you will be paid commission if he buys any product in 24 hours from the time he first opened your link
Great post..
Thanks for the info. 🙂
Some questions here :
1. How much processing time it takes to receive payment after earnings reach Rs. 2500?
2. Suppose my earnings reach 2500 and I chose payment via “gift voucher”, can I use multiple gift vouchers to buy single product?
3. If I want to buy a product for me, will I earn any commission if I buy it through my own link?
Thanks again.. Much appreciated 😉
^_^
1. For e.g Your earnings for September 2013 freeze by the end of October 2013 and your payments would be made by the 15th of November 2013 . So it takes 45 Days on an average.
2. No, you can’t use multiple gift vouchers for a single product.
3. Well, Yes you are paid for that too but I think flipkart will stop it soon.
Very well maintained blog bro…
I too have a huge interest in blogging and affiliate programs. But I’m just a newbie here. Can you tell which 1 is better between flipkart and Amazon affiliate for Indians?
Both are decent & both pay you regularly. But personally I prefer Amazon affiliates because it has tons of offers daily rather than Flipkart Affiliate. You can promote Mobiles through Flipkart and things like pendrives & Memory cards through Amazon.
Lets say a user visited my link but he didn’t purchase anything within 24 hours. Instead, lets say he purchased after 2 days. Will i get commission?
No you will not be paid for that.

Suppose someone clicks the link but do not buy within 24 hrs.
