Digistore24 Review — New Digital Product Affiliate Network

Aug 23, 2021Affiliate Programs

Digistore24 is the new kid on the block for affiliate marketers who are looking for digital products to represent. Digital products are basically anything that can be downloaded. So that would include:

  • Plugins
  • Fonts
  • Templates
  • Training Courses
  • E-books

 

The main affiliate networks for these products have historically been: ClickBank, JV-Zoo and Warrior Plus. Digistore24 is a European company that was founded in 2012 and is very new to the US market. The problem I have often had with ClickBank like affiliate networks is they always feel a bit scammy. Warrior Plus is a good example of this and I am reluctant to send traffic to them for fear of alienating my audience. Digistore24 feels much more mainstream and just “cleaner”. Let’s take a closer look …

Digitalstore24 Affiliate Marketplace

Types of products: Broad range of downloadable digital products

Where to join: registration page merchant and affiliates

Commission structure: Merchant Specific

Cookie length: 180 days

Payment Methods: Paypal, ACH direct deposit, International wire

Payment Terms: Net 30,  paid on the 1st and 17th of each month

 I am a big fan of downloadable type products for a number of reasons:

  • They tend to have high margins. Which makes sense since there is no manufacturing costs as physical goods would have.
  • They can often be impulse buys for consumers.
  • They are an attractive market for affiliates to learn about and make their own products.

 

Creating an Account

Signing up was easy and seemed automatic. Just head over to the registration page and fill in the basic information.  I was approved immediately. Once you register and confirm the email you are able to login and have access to your dashboard and other account features. You will be required to confirm your telephone to get payouts of your affiliate commissions.

The dashboard is a combined dashboard for both any products that you are selling on Digistore24 and your affiliate transaction. A nice feature is the ability to create a custom dashboard. So if you are only an affiliate you can easily remove the clutter of vendor information.

Another nice capability is the reporting. It is very robust and you can easily see which merchants are performing best for you. Included in the reporting is:

  • Transactions
  • Commissions
  • Payouts
  • Analytics
  • Clicks

  • Conversion Tracking
  • Analytics

Support

Digistore24 is quick with email support. I dropped them a note to clarify cookie lengths and I had a reply within a few hours.

There are quick start guides for affiliates to help you be successful. These include how to:

  • Find money making partners for your niche
  • Best use affiliate links
  • Making the most of tracking

For consumers they have a 4.7 Trust Pilot score which is very high for this type of affiliate network. JV-Zoo for instance has a score of 3.7 and Warrior Plus for instance has a terrible score of 1.7.

Some specific reviews include:

I needed support with my bills and the support-team helped me really quickly and was super friendly!

Summary

Digistore 24 is a legit affiliate network primarily for digital products. They had over $250 million in transactions in 2019 so they are not a fly-by-night operation. They have a good track record of payments and have some quality products. I will be promoting a few of these and update this post with actual transaction and conversion success. A refreshing change at first appearance from the ClickBanks of the world and worth exploring as a merchant of digital products or an affiliate.
