QuickBooks
Intuit’s small business accounting software, paying flat bounties per lead and per paid subscription through CJ.
About the QuickBooks affiliate program
QuickBooks runs on CJ Affiliate as part of Intuit Small Business (advertiser 2271086), which also covers GoPayment and Payroll. The programme pays flat amounts per action rather than a percentage: $5 for a QuickBooks Online lead, $50 once that lead concludes, $5 for a Payroll trial, $50 when the trial converts and $55 for a Payroll Buy Now. QuickBooks Desktop and the Self Employed actions are tracked but currently carry a 0.00 commission. The referral period is 30 days on the Desktop and QuickBooks Online lead actions and 45 days on everything else, with unlimited occurrences throughout. Applications are reviewed manually. Intuit protects a long list of brand keywords — you cannot bid on them, use them as a display URL, or put them in a domain name — and phone sales, product trials, payment solutions, checks and supplies are all non-commissionable. Incentivised traffic is permitted, but Intuit reserves the right to reverse lead commissions from publishers whose leads subscribe at under 7%.
