CPS

Cost Per Sale

A commission structure used in affiliate marketing. In this model, the advertiser or merchant pays the affiliate a predetermined commission for each sale generated through the affiliate’s promotional efforts. The payment is made only when a customer makes a purchase, making CPS a performance-based compensation model.

CPS is popular among affiliates and merchants because it aligns the interests of both parties. Affiliates are incentivized to promote products or services effectively to maximize their earnings, while merchants only pay for actual sales, reducing their marketing risk. This commission structure is widely used in various industries, including e-commerce, digital products, and subscription services.
