The Affiliate guide

How affiliate bounties work

Keep your Shopee or TikTok commission and earn a bounty on top, paid by the brand.

You make product-led content and want to understand a brand-funded bounty alongside platform commission.

The campaign, explained

Know the work before you commit.

What gets made, who does what and how payment is determined. The brief or signed agreement sets the terms for each campaign.

Affiliate bounty campaign

Give affiliate creators a reason to feature the product, with a brand-funded bounty on top.

What gets made
Product-led affiliate content
Where it goes
A post on the creator's own channel is required
How it is priced
View-based or verified-sales bounty

The creator brings it to life

  1. Check affiliate-track eligibility and the product, offer and bounty rules before joining.

  2. Use the campaign's tracked destination with the correct affiliate information. Confirm where the link belongs.

  3. Post on your own channel with the required disclosure, then submit the published post URL.

  4. Keep the required evidence and follow the bounty's settlement. Platform commission is tracked separately.

The brand sets the brief

  1. Set the product, offer, availability, allowed claims and destination for the campaign link.

  2. Choose a view-based bounty or sales-based bounty, then disclose the rate, budget and eligibility rules.

  3. Review the content and the evidence for the chosen model. Do not treat a tracked click as a confirmed sale.

  4. Follow settlement and payment status. For sales-based work, account for the required evidence and returns.

Payment and evidence

Views or sales?

A view-based bounty follows the disclosed view rate or shared-pool rules. A sales-based bounty uses the campaign's percentage of eligible attributed sales value, subject to its budget and evidence requirements. Read which model applies before posting.

What happens to the platform commission?

The platform's affiliate commission and Vouched's brand-funded bounty are separate. A Vouched bounty does not replace or guarantee the platform commission. Each follows its own eligibility and settlement rules.

Is a tracked click proof of a sale?

No. Click attribution records the visit, not the order value. Sales-based settlement needs accepted sales evidence and the applicable return window; returned or unsupported sales do not automatically qualify for a bounty.

The details to agree

Can I just deliver a video file?

Not instead of the required affiliate post. Affiliate work needs distribution through the creator's own channel. If the brand only needs an unposted product video, agree a UGC or other file-delivery brief instead.

What should the offer specify?

Product destination, price or offer claims, stock or sample arrangements, where to place the tracked link, permitted platforms, disclosure, campaign dates and the evidence needed for the bounty.

Which delivery route should you use?

Published work uses the campaign's post-link form. For file-only work, agree the file handoff through the order or contract before accepting. The current campaign post form does not accept direct video uploads. Do not publish content just to make file-only work fit that form.

Affiliate campaigns require a creator-channel post. Clipping, UGC and influencer work can use an agreed file handoff or channel post, but a view-priced campaign still needs a measurable published post.

Approval is not a bank transfer.

Creative review, evidence checks, settlement and payout release are separate steps. Vouched remains in closed alpha; these guides do not announce public access or real payouts.

Your questions, answered.

Do you take a cut of my Shopee commission?
The platform commission and Vouched bounty are separate arrangements. Check the platform's commission and return rules, and the campaign's own bounty terms. Do not combine them into one guaranteed payout or assume both records settle together.
What is the bounty paid on?
Either verified views or sales you actually drove, depending on the campaign. The brief says which before you start.
When do I get the bounty?
View-based bounties wait for the campaign's view settlement. Sales-based bounties need the required sales evidence and the platform's return window to close. An eligible payout is then queued for separate admin review and release.
Why do I have to use your link?
Use the tracked destination specified by the campaign so the visit can be associated with the correct work. A recorded click is not proof of an order, its value or an eligible sale; sales-based bounties also need accepted conversion evidence.
Does the tracked link replace my affiliate link?
Check the supplied destination and required affiliate information before publishing. Do not strip tracking parameters or substitute an unrelated URL. The campaign's click record does not prove that the external platform accepted an affiliate sale.
What if a sale gets returned?
It comes out of the attributed total, the same way it comes out of your platform commission. We use the platform's return window rather than inventing our own.
What gets me removed?
These are examples of conduct that can lead to review or loss of access. They are not an exhaustive policy list; the applicable terms and recorded decision matter.
  • Buying views or using bots.
  • Posting someone else's work as your own.
  • Not saying a post is paid.
  • Taking a booking and then disappearing.
Do I have to say my post is an ad?
Disclose paid or gifted work as required by the brief and the platform, including its paid-partnership setting where applicable. Do not present a paid recommendation as an independent one.
I said yes to something but I cannot do it anymore.
Tell the brand early through the work's message or incident route. Check the agreement's cancellation terms and keep the reason with the record. Notice does not automatically cancel an obligation or guarantee a particular fee outcome.
Something went wrong and it was not my fault.
Use the relevant work or incident record to explain what happened and provide evidence. For an account problem, contact support through Feedback. Keep the reference number and recorded outcome; do not assume a report has automatically reversed a restriction or released payment.
Can I be in an exclusive campaign and take other work?
Read the actual exclusivity scope and dates before accepting. Restrictions can affect which other work you may take. Do not assume all exclusivity covers every activity, or that Vouched can prevent an off-platform conflict for you.

What each tier gets you

There are two separate ladders and they never mix. Checks are earned by doing the work and cost nothing. Plans are things you pay for, and they only unlock tools. Money cannot get you a check, and no check is ever withheld from someone who qualifies.

Checks, earned and free

Basic check

Free

You proved who you are and where your money goes.

  • Brands invite you instead of you applying

₱0

Creator Pro

See pricing

Extra creative tools when you are ready for them.

Paying for Pro does not move your score, your check, or where you appear in a brand's list. If that ever stopped being true, the score would be worthless to the brands reading it.

Your score

A score that shows how reliable you are. At the start it is only a guess, based on your content and who follows you, and we label it as a guess so nobody mistakes it for a record. Once you finish campaigns, your real results replace the guess. You get a separate score for each kind of work, because clipping and influencer work are not the same job.

Moves it up

  • Finishing on time
  • Getting approved the first time
  • Keeping your posts up until you are paid
  • Real people watching and commenting
  • Finishing what you start

Moves it down

  • Handing work in late
  • Needing the same work fixed over and over
  • Cancelling, though telling us early costs much less
  • Going quiet after you accepted a job
  • Complaints proven true after you have had your say
  • Taking a post down before you are paid

Changes nothing

  • How many followers you have
  • Paying for Pro
  • How much a brand spends
  • Living in Manila or in a province

Why we do not show the exact formula

If we published the exact maths, people would work the maths instead of doing the work, and then the score would stop meaning anything to the brands reading it. So we show you what counts and which way it moves, and we keep the weights private. Every change to your score comes with a reason you can read, so it is never a mystery.

Know the fee before you accept

Vouched's platform fee is paid by the brand, not deducted from the creator's rate. Your eligible amount still follows the agreed payment model, evidence, caps and any contract retention. Check those terms before starting.
