Lazada is one of the largest online shopping destinations here in the Philippines, it’s my go-to place (and shopee) when I’m looking for stuff to buy. The platform has made it easy for millions of people to buy products online from different vendors around the world.

  • BIR 2303 – This is where it gets hard; as of August 2020, Lazada has required its affiliates to provide a BIR 2303 certification. It’s not that hard to get this one, but it may take some time.

We can now spread this link and earn a commission when someone clicks the link and purchases the product. I usually shorten the link with bitly so it’ll look better.

Lazada Affiliate Cookies and Tracking

There is a 30-day for web and 7-day commission tracking. This means that when a customer clicks the URL, there is a commission tracker installed in their browser or their mobile. We’ll be able to earn if the customer purchases within the 30-day/7-day period.

The last affiliate link that is clicked by the customer will receive the commission. So if the customer has clicked your affiliate link and then clicked my affiliate link before the purchase, I’ll get the commission.

Where to Promote?

There are a lot of channels to promote Lazada products. Just try and see which will work the best. It can be promoted through Youtube, Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and from a website as well.

I have been promoting it with one of my Facebook page, and I’ll try to promote it more on different platforms.

How to get paid?

Once you reached 1,200php in commission, submitted your bank info and tax info, you’ll be eligible for a payout. All payments are wired.

The payment tab in the dashboard is inaccurate so don’t rely on that. There are also some delays on payment processing so be patient. Rest assured, everyone will get paid.

Conclusion

Lazada affiliate program is a great way to earn money. It’s easy, doesn’t require any capital to start, and everyone can do it.
