As soon as a successful transaction is validated through your ZlioShop (this generally takes 72 hours), you will have access to your commissions amount in the My Accounts page (approximately 90 days later).

Currently, Zlio has entrusted your commission to be in the form of payments to be distributed through the PayPal service. You must have a PayPal account linked to your bank account in order for the transfer of payment to work.

The use of PayPal will be governed by their policies and rules. Please refer to PayPal's Terms of Use, Privacy and other policies related to their site over which Zlio has no control.

With regard to the 3 months processing time, keep in mind that a merchant - not just Zlio - has to validate things, too. In other words, the merchant has to wait a certain period of time before he releases the commissions to us, and only then can we release them to our shop owners. That's why it takes approx 3 months for validation before you can access your commissions via PayPal.

Changing your revenue model

Once you register, you are automatically in the sales payment mode.

When your store becomes eligible, you can choose to access the Mixed Payments mode (sales OR clicks) from the "My Income" menu then "Change My Model".

For your store to become eligible, continue to occupy it normally. When the pay per click mode is available you will be automatically notified when connecting to your store management interface.

Mixed model

To find out if a merchant pays you per sale (anytime you sell an item) or per click (when someone clicks on your products), move your mouse over the links on the page that displays your products. If the merchant's line is highlighted in blue, you will get paid per sale, if it's orange, you'll get paid per click.
Be careful not to click on those orange links from your own shops if you are not going to purchase the products. A major anti-fraud system has been inserted in the platform, any cheats detected will be rejected from the system.

When a commission has been cancelled, it is because the merchant partner cancelled it.

A commission may be cancelled when the customer returns an order and the purchase price has been refunded.

Commission calculation does not include taxes or shipping.

To find the list of commission per merchant, go to "my revenues" of your store administration and use the pull-down menu to the right to select "manage merchants".

Amazon commissions are listed quarterly, for example, Q1.

Every time a new commission is generated with Amazon, it is added to the quarterly total of Amazon commissions.

As soon as your commissions are approved, (approximately 90 days after their appearance), you can request payment through the button "Request Payment" on the "My Income page".

This button appears automatically when unpaid commissions have been approved.

Please follow the instructions for obtaining payment.

Payments are made via Paypal and can then be transferred to your bank account if you wish.

Creating a Paypal account is free.

A period of 7 days minimum is required between your request for payment and approval by our system.

Note that an additional transaction delay may occur with Paypal.

Downloading your invoices is very simple:

• 1. Go to the management interface for your store
• 2. Go to "My Income", then "Your Payments"
• 3. Click "Download" to get the invoice for payments
• 4. A PDF document is downloaded; it's your invoice!

To manage your store, go to "My Account".

Click on "My Account" in your store administration and select the "My information" tab.

For now, you are limited to a maximum of 20 stores per account! You can add a maximum of 1,000 products per store.

You have not yet met the eligibility requirements for your store to benefit from mixed payments.

As part of our fight against fraud, we are not able to reveal the conditions of eligibility.

But remember, if you regularly occupy your store, it will become eligible very soon.

• 1- Go to "My Store"
• 2- Click the "Delete" button on the store you wish to close
• 3- Confirm!

Warning: All store deletions are final! Even if you have accidentally deleted a store, Zlio support staff will be unable to assist you. Be careful and consider your decision thoroughly before deleting anything!

When you're in your account, click on "Store identity" link in your store administration, change the name in "store name", and click "save modifications".

Can I host my ZlioShop under my own domain name?

Yes, you can! This is how it works: When you're in your account, click on "Store identity" in your store administration and go to "your own domain name".

In order to make your ZlioShop available from a domain name you own (www.myboutique.com for example), you need to configure its associated DNS this way:

your-domaine-name CNAME [Your Zlioshop's address configured above]

Pay attention that you will have to perform this configuration again if you modify your ZlioShop's address.

It's very simple! To do this, go into the module, install the "My Domain Name" module and follow the instructions.

Change category's product

From the menu of your store administration, click "store products". On the right side of the screen, under "by categories", select the category you want. Then, select the Edit button. Edit as you wish, then click "submit".

Delete a category

To the right of "store products" on the menu bar, click the pull-down menu in your store administration and select "manage my categories". In the "actions" column, click "delete" and follow the instructions. Click "save" when you're done.

To remove a module, go to the "Modules" menu and click on "See All My Modules".

Then click on the delete button (X) to remove a module.

Some modules cannot be removed. The delete button will not appear.

Your ZlioShop will be usually automatically listed within the largest search engines such as Google, MSN or Yahoo.

As indicated in our Terms of Use and also in our Privacy Policy, it is formally forbidden within your shop and/or within Zlio´s forums and newsgroups to advertise a service not registered as a Zlio partner. It is therefore formally forbidden to use any affiliation or sponsorship link for any service not in partnership with Zlio. The penalty is account termination without notice. Beware: in the event of termination, you will lose all the contents of your ZlioShop!

It takes 2-3 weeks for a new entry to propagate to the search engines.

At this time, it is not possible to sell your own products via your ZlioShop.

If it says "expired" next to a product, it means that this item is not available at our merchant affiliates 'shops for the time being.

Each product fact sheet in your ZlioShop will lead to a list of sales partners offering the requested item. Any visitor clicking on one of those links will therefore end up buying the product from one of our merchant affiliates (all of them popular stores), yet, you will be the one receiving the sales commission. The selected stores are responsible for product delivery and/or customer Services.

When you're in your store administration, click on the arrow adjacent to "store products" and select "add products".

You can also search for a product at any time by using the "search engine" of your store administration or the Products catalog. When you select a search result, you will be given the option to add the product to your ZlioShop.

Don't worry! Nobody can access your account except for you ! When you test your referral link, while being already connected to Zlio, you log directly onto your account from your computer! Yet, other people using this sponsorship link will of course get to the Zlio Homepage in non-identified mode and will have to register to use the service!

When your referral generates a commission, you will be immediately notified by e-mail.

Moreover, in "Reference Commission" tab accessible through the My Income menu, you will see a list of all commissions earned thanks to your referrals.

As you know, Zlio allows you to sponsor other members via multiple means. You earn 10% of the store commissions of your 1st level references and 5% of your 2nd level references.

As indicated in our General Terms and Conditions, you are personally responsible for your legal and tax declarations.

We therefore recommend that you contact your local IRS office once you have received your first significant payment, in order to get help with the appropriate tax declarations and procedures.

In each shop you'll find a "Contact" link on the top right hand corner. It will enable you to send an email to the ZlioShop's owner.
