How do I partner with Kick?

Category: For Businesses

Australian retailers can partner with Kick Cashback in two ways: through the self-service merchant portal at kickpay.co/merchant/login, or by joining the cashback portal network via email to info@kickcashback.com. Both routes are open to legitimate Australian businesses with a working online store, and pricing is performance-based — you only pay commission on actual referred sales.

The two partnership models

1. Self-service merchant integration

Best suited to retailers who want hands-on control of their offers, promotions and reporting. You set up your account at kickpay.co/merchant/login, configure the commission rate you're comfortable paying, link your existing affiliate network feed (Awin, Commission Factory, Impact, Rakuten, Partnerize) or supply Kick with the necessary tracking parameters, and your store goes live in the portal once Kick has completed verification. You retain full control of your offer at any time and can pause or adjust the commission rate as your marketing budget changes.

2. Portal network partnership (Kick-managed)

Best suited to retailers who'd prefer Kick to handle the heavy lifting. Email info@kickcashback.com with your business name, ABN, website URL, the affiliate network you're on (or that you'd like to join), and a brief note about what categories you sell. The Kick partnerships team will respond within 1-2 business days with a proposal covering commission rate, promotional support, and onboarding timing.

Eligibility requirements

  • Registered Australian business. Valid ABN and a registered trading name.
  • Working online store. Functional checkout, published refund policy, and contact information visible on the site.
  • Australian audience focus. You ship to Australia, accept AUD, and serve Australian shoppers (international retailers serving Australians are also welcome).
  • Affiliate network membership (or willingness to join). Kick uses the major affiliate networks for tracking and payment; the network handles the underlying tech.
  • Compliance with Australian Consumer Law. Standard fair-trading obligations.

For the full requirement list see the For Business page.

What does it cost?

Nothing upfront — Kick is performance-based. You pay a commission only when Kick refers a customer who completes a confirmed purchase. You set the commission rate (subject to network minimums) and you can adjust it at any time. There's no monthly listing fee, no setup fee, and no minimum spend. The affiliate network the sale runs through takes a small share of the commission as their network fee, and the rest funds Kick's portal placement and the cashback paid back to the shopper.

What you get from partnering with Kick

  • Pay-for-performance customer acquisition. Money out only when sales come in.
  • High-intent shoppers. Kick traffic is people actively choosing to buy, not idle browsers.
  • Australian audience. Kick's shopper base is overwhelmingly Australian, ideal for retailers focused on the local market.
  • Editorial features. Top-converting partners get featured placement on the portal homepage, in category pages, and in cashback-rate alert emails.
  • Real-time reporting. The merchant portal shows clicks, sales, conversion rate, and projected commission in real time.

How long does onboarding take?

Self-service: typically 24-48 hours from sign-up to live on the portal, including Kick's verification of retailer authenticity and tracking quality. Managed onboarding: 3-7 business days depending on whether you're joining a new affiliate network as part of the process.

Our Experience

We are a first-party cashback platform — we work directly with retailers rather than reselling another company's network. Our team negotiates cashback rates, manages partner relationships, and processes payments in-house. According to industry data published by IAB Australia, affiliate and cashback marketing represented over $1 billion in tracked Australian retail sales in 2024 (source: IAB Australia Online Advertising Expenditure Report). Kick Cashback is part of this growing sector and is committed to passing the majority of retailer commissions back to shoppers as cashback.

Our editorial team draws on direct experience working with major Australian retailers and global affiliate networks. We publish detailed cashback information, retailer terms, and shopping guides based on first-hand knowledge of how cashback tracking, attribution, and payments work. Where industry standards or regulatory guidance applies — such as the Australian Consumer Law administered by the ACCC, or the Privacy Act 1988 administered by the OAIC — we cite the relevant source so readers can verify our claims.
