Commission Factory
Australia
Description
Commission Factory is an affiliate network operating since 2011, describing itself as a leading performance-marketing platform across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, with a particularly strong position in the Australian market. It is operated by Commission Factory Pty Ltd, headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The network is part of the Awin group — its official logo carries the tagline "Part of Awin".
It works with recognisable regional and global brands (including Samsung, Groupon, News Corp Australia) as well as subnetwork-type affiliate platforms (e.g. Skimlinks SEA), serving publishers across Australia and the broader APAC/Southeast Asia region.
Model and approach
Commission Factory connects advertisers (retailers, brands) with publishers and performance-marketing agencies. The platform supports real-time conversion tracking, including cookie-less methods (digital fingerprinting, click-less tracking), aimed at keeping commission attribution accurate regardless of browser restrictions.
The network states it generates up to AU$25 million in sales per month across its advertiser network, spanning many industries and cooperation models — from large retail chains to loyalty and cashback programs.

Billing and payouts
Commission rates are set individually by each advertiser, and the platform automates their calculation and settlement based on approved transactions. The network states automated, weekly payouts for publishers.
Exact payout thresholds and settlement currencies depend on the specific partner program and the publisher's country — the platform emphasises full transparency regarding the source and currency of each sale.
Tools and support
Who it is for
The network is aimed primarily at publishers and agencies working with traffic targeting the Australian market and the broader APAC region — content sites, cashback/coupon sites and major media outlets. It is less useful for publishers focused solely on the European or Polish market, though as part of the Awin group it can complement offerings for partners operating globally.
