AliExpress Portals is the affiliate programme of AliExpress, and it works on a CPS model: publishers earn a commission from the orders they send to AliExpress. The basic commission rate goes up to 9%, and up to 90% for Hot Products, with up to 4% extra for promotions that beat the incentive programme’s targets and up to 1.5% more as a publisher grows.
The catalogue covers more than 120 million affiliate products across 200+ supported countries and regions. Publishers can promote through influencers, chat groups, content and blog sites, coupon sites, price-comparison sites, cashback sites, networks and agencies, or deal sites, with an API, server-to-server tracking and product and order reports.
Joining is free for anyone with an online presence and some traffic: sign in with an existing AliExpress account or register first, then submit an application. The catch is that the payout threshold, payment methods, timing and cookie duration are not published publicly — those key cash-flow terms are only visible after joining.
