Yesim’s Travelpayouts offer uses a simple percentage model: affiliates earn 18% of the SIM/eSIM price. The offer also defines a strict eligibility rule: commission is not paid if the user is already registered in Yesim. In reporting, an action is labeled as “Paid” within 30 days after payment (as long as the order was not canceled).
| Commission element | What the offer specifies | How it applies in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Commission type | Percentage of order value. | A fixed percentage is applied per successful order, rather than a tiered or recurring revenue share model. |
| Reward rate | 18%. | Each qualifying purchase generates 18% commission. |
| Commission base | 18% of the SIM card price (SIM/eSIM price basis). | Commission is calculated from the core product price (the SIM/eSIM purchase amount), as stated in the offer. |
| Payable action timing | An action is labeled “Paid” within 30 days after payment (if the booking/order was not canceled). | Reporting typically shows a delay between purchase and “Paid” status as the advertiser validation window completes. |
| Eligibility restriction | Commission will not be paid if the user is already registered in Yesim. | The offer is primarily oriented toward new-customer acquisition; repeat buyers who already have an account are excluded from commission. |
| Rewarded platforms | Rewarded on desktop, mobile web, and app. | Purchases completed in the browser or in-app are eligible for tracking under the offer’s platform settings. |
Yesim is positioned as a Swiss-based eSIM provider offering connectivity across 150+ countries, with plans designed for single-country, regional, and global travel needs. In Travelpayouts, the offer targets Worldwide and is marked as rewarded on desktop web, mobile web, and in-app, which aligns well with the “buy on mobile, use immediately” behavior common for travel connectivity purchases.
| Segment | What to target | How Yesim is positioned in the offer |
|---|---|---|
| Worldwide (default) | Travel audiences in any country, especially outbound travelers researching connectivity for upcoming trips. | Broad coverage across 150+ countries with a mobile-first activation/management experience. |
| High-need travel corridors | Users traveling between major regions where roaming charges are a common pain point (e.g., Europe ↔ North America, EU ↔ Middle East, multi-country itineraries). | Regional/global plan framing + “stay connected abroad” angle designed to reduce roaming friction. |
| Mobile-first purchase & use | Travelers who buy on mobile close to departure or on arrival, and prefer managing connectivity via an app. | The offer is marked as rewarded on mobile web and in-app, supporting app-based purchase flows. |
| Language-aligned markets | Audiences consuming content in English or Russian (languages explicitly shown in the offer details). | Language-aligned product positioning and support expectations for those markets. |
| New-user acquisition focus | Travelers who have not used Yesim before (first-time eSIM buyers or switching from other providers). | The offer notes that commission is not paid if the user is already registered, so first-time customers are the cleanest fit. |
In Travelpayouts, Yesim lists a 90-day cookie lifetime and uses cookie-based attribution. The offer is marked as rewarded on desktop web, mobile web, and in-app. A key tracking-related rule in the offer notes is that bookings from paid search ads are not rewarded.
| Tracking element | What the offer lists | Attribution impact |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie duration | 90 days cookie lifetime. | Orders can be attributed within the 90-day window under cookie-based tracking. |
| Attribution model | Travelpayouts affiliate tracking with cookie-based attribution. | Attribution depends on cookie continuity in the user journey (same browser/session continuity where applicable). |
| Rewarded platforms | Marked as rewarded on desktop web, mobile web, and app. | Purchases made through any of the rewarded platforms can be credited when they meet the offer’s validity rules. |
| Paid search restriction | Paid search is not allowed / not rewarded (bookings from such ads won’t be rewarded). | Even if a click is tracked, bookings originating from paid search ads are excluded from rewards per the offer note. |
| Eligibility filter tied to user status | Commission isn’t paid if the user is already registered in Yesim. | Tracking can occur, but the transaction is excluded from rewards based on the buyer’s existing-account status. |
Yesim is offered through Travelpayouts and is structured as a broadly accessible offer: the program lists multiple promotion models as allowed across any channels (content, cashback, travel business placements, coupons/promo codes, and media buying). The main compliance boundary called out in the offer details is paid search: paid search promotion is not allowed, and bookings originating from paid search ads will not be rewarded. The offer notes also include a brand-protection rule: the brand name/logo must not be used in paid search ads.
Approval starts with having an active Travelpayouts account and adding your traffic source(s) and payout details in the platform.
Once joined, you can generate tracking links for Yesim and promote to worldwide audiences (as the offer is listed as Worldwide targeting).
The offer is flexible on most channels, but the paid search restriction is explicit: do not promote Yesim via paid search ads and do not use the brand name/logo in paid search creatives; bookings from paid search ads are not rewarded.
| Promotion method | Status in offer details | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Content creation | Allowed (Any channels) | Content-driven promotion is listed as allowed across any channels (e.g., website content, social, video, messaging). |
| Cashback service | Allowed (Any channels) | Cashback placements are listed as allowed without a channel carve-out in the offer details. |
| Travel business | Allowed (Any channels) | Travel-business style promotion is listed as allowed (useful for travel-focused publishers and platforms). |
| Coupons or promo codes | Allowed (Any channels) | Coupon/promo-code positioning is listed as allowed. (The offer description also references a Travelpayouts promo code for new users.) |
| Media buying | Allowed (Any channels) | Paid promotion is listed as allowed as a category, but it does not override the paid-search exclusion below. |
| Paid search ads | Not allowed / Not rewarded | The offer explicitly states paid search is not allowed: you cannot promote the brand through paid search ads, you cannot use the brand name/logo in paid search ads, and bookings from such ads will not be rewarded. |
| Personal bookings | Listed as allowed | The offer page indicates personal bookings as an allowed promotion model. (Separate from this, the offer’s payout rules still apply, such as user eligibility and validation.) |
Yesim’s Travelpayouts offer defines payout readiness through the offer’s “Paid” status rule: an action is labeled as “Paid” within 30 days after payment, provided the order is not canceled. The offer also lists a strict eligibility filter: commission is not paid if the user is already registered in Yesim. Affiliate withdrawals themselves are processed through Travelpayouts using the payment methods available in the affiliate’s account.
| Item | What the offer / network indicates | How it shows up in affiliate reporting |
|---|---|---|
| When a transaction becomes payable | The offer states the action is labeled “Paid” within 30 days after payment (if not canceled). | Transactions can remain pending while the validation window completes, then move to a paid/approved state. |
| Cancellation impact | The “Paid” labeling is conditional on the booking/order not being canceled. | Canceled orders typically do not reach the paid/approved stage for commission. |
| User eligibility restriction | No commission if the buyer is already registered in Yesim. | Orders can be tracked but still be excluded from payout due to existing-account status. |
| Who pays the affiliate | The affiliate payout is processed by Travelpayouts (network settlement). | Withdrawals are made from the Travelpayouts balance once transactions are approved and the account meets withdrawal conditions. |
| Payment methods | Payment methods depend on what is enabled in the affiliate’s Travelpayouts profile and can vary by country/region. | The available payout options and minimum withdrawal thresholds are shown in the Travelpayouts payment settings for the account. |
| Minimum payout / withdrawal thresholds | Minimum thresholds are determined by Travelpayouts and can differ by payment method. | If the confirmed balance is below the method’s threshold, withdrawals remain unavailable until the minimum is reached. |
Best for: travel connectivity publishers, eSIM comparison sites, destination guides, digital nomad content, cashback/coupon travel pages, and affiliates promoting mobile data for international trips.
Less ideal for: paid-search affiliates, audiences already registered with Yesim, affiliates needing high-ticket commissions, non-mobile travel funnels, or partners relying on broader brand-search PPC.
