Best Affiliate Programs from Indian E-Commerce Sites in 2015

Best Affiliate Programs from Indian E-Commerce Sites

Now you don’t have to depend upon Clickbank or Commission Junction. Earlier it was very difficult for Indian marketers to sell to American audience.

However, with Indian ecommerce site it is quite easy now to sell products and earn commissions. You could easily target customers in your city and sell some products and earn good commission.

I have created most updated list of 6 Indian ecommerce sites with great affiliate programs. The list is up to date and the information is latest.

Other blogs on the internet are not updated and the information is outdated.

Before you read the article I must tell you that there are two ways you could sign up for an affiliate program of a particular ecommerce site.

1. FlipKart

The first E commerce site with a great affiliate program is FlipKart. Joining is free and you could make commissions up to 15% on every product sold.

Flipkart is the number one e commerce site in India with millions of consumers. Hence for affiliate marketers there is a huge potential.

Commission Structure

• Fashion and Lifestyle Products: 8% to 14%
• Home and Kitchen: 10% to 15%  
• Electronics and Gadgets: 4% to 5%
• Digital and e Products: 2%
• Books:  10%

You could make out that Fashion & Lifestyle and Books are the most profitable category.

Payment Mode

Flipkart gives you two types of payment mode.

1. Gift Voucher – Payment is given after reaching the threshold amount of Rs 250/-
2. EFT – Threshold amount is Rs 1000/-

Infibeam affiliate program could pay you up to 10% for some of its merchandise.

Commission Structure

• Fashion and Lifestyle Products: 5%
• Home and Kitchen: NIL
• Electronics and Gadgets: 1%
• Digital and e Products: 10%
• Books: 5%

Infibeam is really good for digital products like eBooks because commission is 10% and lifestyle products with commission up to 5%. However it is no good for electronic gadgets as commission is only 1%.

Payment Mode

Two kinds of payment mode.

1. Gift Vouchers – Gift voucher just like Flipkart with threshold amount of Rs 250/-
2. Bank Cheque – No EFT but only cheque and threshold amount is Rs 1000/-

3. Amazon India

Amazon India affiliate program also known as Amazon associates could give you commissions up to 15%. Commissions are really great but Amazon’s terms and conditions are very strict.

Commission Structure

• Fashion and Lifestyle Products: 15%
• Home and Kitchen: 10%
• Electronics and Gadgets: 4%
• Digital and e Products: 4%
• Books: 10%

You could see commissions are really great especially on lifestyle products. However for consumer electronics commissions are modest. You also earn advertising fees on items placed in customer’s shopping cart within 24 hours.

The variety of ads that you get is huge.

Payment Mode

After 60 days you get paid by check and EFT both. For gift certificate threshold amount is $10 and for check it is $100.
