Insider FAQ

Insiders earn 10% commission on the product subtotal of every qualifying order placed with their personal code — before tax and shipping. Equipment pays flat: $20 per starter kit, $10 per spray tan machine, and $20 per Sjolie X1 applicator (the X1 even takes insider codes for 10% off). Kits and machines are tracked through your personal link since codes don't apply to them. Commissions are earned per order: there's no automatic lifetime commission on a customer's account. The upside is real, though — solution is a consumable and your code saves customers 10% every time, so people who order through you have a standing reason to reorder through you.

It is Sjolie's official affiliate and ambassador program for spray tan artists and beauty creators. Members get a personal 10%-off discount code, a tracked landing page, a real-time earnings dashboard, free monthly marketing content, Insider University education, and automatic post check-in from connected social accounts — run directly by Sjolie Inc., the manufacturer, with no affiliate networks in between.

Two kinds of Insiders: professional spray tan artists (certified or working toward it) who recommend Sjolie to clients and fellow artists, and beauty creators or influencers who share sunless products with their audience. We're looking for serious, active creators — this is a program for people who post. Social accounts must be public with at least 200 followers (private profiles can't be verified). Every application is reviewed personally by the Sjolie team.

Yes — Insiders publish at least 8 posts a month featuring Sjolie (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, forums, Reddit — wherever your audience is) and check them in through the dashboard with a link, or a screenshot for stories. Every post beyond that is more exposure and more opportunities to sell. Join after the 7th of a month and the rest of that month is a warm-up with no minimum, so you can learn before there's any pressure — your first full month is when the counter starts. After that, miss the minimum and your personal code pauses until you're posting again; it reactivates automatically the month you're back.

Two ways, both automatic. Your personal discount code attributes any order it's used on — it survives screenshots, word of mouth, and device switches. Your personal landing link (sjoliespraytan.com/affiliate/?ref=your-name) tracks visitors by a first-party cookie, which is how kit and equipment referrals count, since codes don't apply to equipment. If both are present, the code wins.

By PayPal, monthly, on the 1st: each payout covers the previous month's sales. Sjolie offers a 60-day return policy, so if an order is refunded after you've been paid, that commission is deducted from a future payout — your dashboard shows every sale and every change. Balances under the minimum simply roll forward. One piece of paperwork: U.S. tax rules require a W-9 before your first payout — a two-minute secure online form in your dashboard (no printing or scanning), and your balance safely accrues until it's in.

No — your own purchases don't earn commission, including orders you place through a second or new store account and orders shipped to you at any of your addresses. Professional artists already get wholesale pricing through the Sjolie Rewards program, which is a better deal than any commission.

No — an order placed by any Sjolie Insider doesn't earn commission for anyone. Insiders can't order with each other's codes or links to send each other commission, including through a different store account that ships to an Insider's address. We match orders to Insiders by email, store account, and billing and shipping address, and those orders are set to $0 commission. The program rewards bringing new customers to Sjolie, not Insiders buying from each other.

No. Membership, the media library, Insider University, and your dashboard are all free. Sjolie only earns when you do.

Yes — U.S. FTC rules require a clear disclosure whenever you share your code or link (for example #SjolieInsider, #SjoliePartner, #ad, "Sjolie Brand Ambassador" in your bio, or "I earn a commission from Sjolie"). It's in the affiliate agreement, and Insider University shows you how to do it naturally.
