## Affiliate network reviews for vendors

Each review reads a network the way a seller has to: what it charges per sale, what it checks before you list, when it pays, and what a refund or chargeback costs you.

How to read these

### What every review checks

#### The real per-sale cost

The platform fee, any approval or activation fee, payout fees, and whether the advertised rate is a quote or a starting point you negotiate after you apply.

#### What happens before you list

Who reviews your funnel and copy, how long it takes, and whether the network takes new vendors at all or only ones with a track record.

#### Money out, money back

Payout cadence and holds, refund windows the buyer gets, and the fee and account risk a chargeback carries.

#### Your checkout or theirs

Whether you must use the network's order form and upsell flow, or can run your own funnel and still pay affiliates through the network.
