Promotional rules
What Omnisend allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Omnisend publishes no rules on PPC, brand bidding, coupons, email or self-referral outside Impact; the program contract is visible only inside Impact after you apply
- Tracking links should be used exactly as provided, which Omnisend says is needed for referrals to be tracked
- Email marketing agencies are directed to the separate Agency Partner Program rather than the affiliate program
Requirements
Anyone can apply, directly through Impact. Omnisend says applications are reviewed within two business days, with the decision sent by email; declined applicants get no detailed feedback but may reapply after improving their content or reach. Commissions are paid monthly by EFT or PayPal, following Impact's payout schedule.

Editor's notes
Set against a 30%, twelve-month program, Omnisend's 20% for up to 24 months pays less in year one (2.4 months of the customer's fee against 3.6), draws level only if the customer stays 18 months, and reaches 4.8 months at the full 24, assuming a flat monthly fee. Omnisend publishes no promotion rules or minimum payout outside Impact, where the program contract is visible only after applying.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 20% rate for 24 months better than 30% for 12?
Only if the customer stays past the first year. 20% over 24 months adds up to 4.8 months of the customer's fee, against 3.6 months for 30% over twelve, but the extra arrives in months 13–24; a customer who leaves inside a year earns you less at 20% than at 30%.
What is the Omnisend affiliate cookie duration?
60 days, according to Omnisend's affiliate page. Tracking runs through Impact.
Does Omnisend pay commission on free-plan sign-ups?
Not while they stay free. If a referral starts on the free plan and later switches to paid, you earn commission, as long as they signed up through your affiliate link.
