It depends on when you join, but usually about a month. 

Upon joining, we will announce your brand's inclusion in the Perch+ program via our affiliate newsletter. From there, order requests will begin, affiliates will start sharing your products, and sales will be generated. Our affiliates are paid on a net 30 basis and have until the end of each month to report on the previous month's sales data. Thus, we won't have a complete list of attributed sales until all our affiliates have reported. 

Within the first few days of each month, we build custom Perch+ brand reports with the sales data and an updated list of articles and live streams, including your brand's products. When complete, you'll receive an email with a link to the report and an invoice from our accounts receivable department. 

No, Amazon doesn't provide its affiliates with Order IDs. We receive a file that includes the following: ASIN, Seller, Tracking ID, Date Shipped, Price($), Items Shipped, Returns & Revenue($). From there, we use our Perch Reporting Automator to isolate Perch and Perch+ product sales. This is the same data we receive from our partners for sales of Perch's own products.

Cross Referencing: Influencers who download their report and run it through a vlookup are always going to be somewhat different from enterprise-scale publishers who tie into Amazon's API and build custom reporting from their data warehouse. Depending on how the reports are originally downloaded, the transactions should either be a close match for a timestamp in your orders report in Seller Central, or an exact match for the ship date and time in your Amazon Fulfilled Shipments report. We have a few partners who, due to their agreements with Amazon, cannot provide timestamps, but we periodically audit their reporting, and rely on the same data for all of Perch's own affiliate sales.

No. We will assign a task to you in the Google doc, and you'll receive a Gmail notification. In the fulfillment doc, you'll find the requester's name (linked to their affiliate site) along with their shipping information. 

We typically fulfill our product requests within 24 hours (2-3 day shipping). While you don't necessarily need to fulfill the orders within 24 hours, we ask that you aim for under 72 hours. 

We will provide affiliate contact information on a case-by-case basis and at the affiliate partners' discretion.
