While you’re working your own hours and choosing your own way to sign up new customers, online or locally, there are certain responsibilities for all Uppointment Affilia:

• You need to have at least 10 new customers per month for the first year as an Affiliate.
• No more than 50% of the extra (over 10) sign-ups from a previous month can be transferred to the next month to make up for a sign-ups shortage for the current month.
• If you fail to meet the minimum number of sign-ups for 2 consecutive months or 3 months per year, your account will be subject to termination at our discretion. Your final payment will be made for the month when your Affiliate account is closed.
• You must use an ethical approach to build up your client base. Making unethical sales, such as promising something that you cannot provide or something that is not part of the Uppointment platform, may cause termination of your Affiliate account.

If a closed account is older than 3 months, you have nothing to worry about - this happens.

If a customer’s account is closed within 3 months of it being opened, it must be replaced by a new sign-up account. We will not consider the replacement account as a new sign-up account in such a case.

A:

• You must be a legal U.S. resident.
• You must be at least 18 years old
• You’ll need to submit a W-4 form.
• You must understand and agree to work with Uppointment as an independent contractor/freelancer, not an employee.
• You must accept Uppointment’s Terms of Use.

Uppointment Affiliates are independent contractors.

An independent contractor is a non-employee who is running their own business.

Uppointment, under no circumstance, will provide it’s independent contractors with any employee benefits including, but not limited to, health insurance, maternity leave and paid vacation.

Uppointment also does not withhold any taxes from your commission payments. Instead, you’ll receive a 1099-tax form at the end of the year. You are solely responsible to report this income on your tax return and pay all necessary income tax and self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare tax) on the net profit you earn as an independent contractor.

You’ll receive at least a 40% commission from every sale of Uppointment products.

Most Uppointment products are based on a monthly subscription model. You will receive your share from every payment made by a client for as long as their subscription remains active.

Examples: You’ve sold a subscription to the Uppointment booking software at $30/month - you’ll receive a payment of $12 every month for as long as this account remains active.

If you sold a website to new client with the Uppointment booking software, the client paid a one-time payment of $120 for the website and then pays $30/month for the subscription - you’ll receive a payment of $48 from the one-time payment for the website and $12 every month from the subscription.

If, a year later, this client ordered website modifications for $150 - you’ll receive a payment of $60.

If you’re able to accumulate more than 15 registrations per month for 6 consecutive months, we will adjust your commission share to 50% of your sales. Starting from that moment, you’ll receive a sales commission of 50% for ALL new and previous subscribers registered to your account.

Payments are made on the 1st and 15th of every month. If any of these dates lands on a weekend or US government holiday, the payment will be made on the next available business day.

Yes, you’ll need to fill out a W-4 form.

This form must be submitted to us before a payment for earnings that exceed $600 in the current calendar year can be processed.

Example: Your payment for May was $150, so we can process your payment and you still have time to complete and send us this form. Your payment for June was $250, so we can still process your payment in the usual way. However, your earnings for July is $300, but as your total earnings with Uppointment in the current calendar year now exceed $600 ($150 + $250 + $350 = $750), so your payments are now on-hold until we receive your W-4 form.

Uppointment offers indispensable business products to all types of businesses, such as those with store-fronts, those online and everything in between.
