Storefronts

Qualifying for a Storefront

There is two ways to qualify for an affiliate storefront. The first would be by ordering the design package that includes many of our most popular products. The second is by making $500 in sales in a calendar year on your product links for those not purchasing the package. Bulk team orders do not apply to these sales.

Benefits

All storefronts come with a 5% public use code (can be used across the website not just on your products) and a 15% ownership code (applicable only on your teams storefront). You can request these codes to be setup by emailing customer support at contact@akquire.ca with your 2 unique codes. The ownership code requires a list of emails authorized to use the code before it can be setup. If your public code is used on Akquire brand products you receive a 5% bounty on the sale total (ie. Sale is made for $100 before tax/shipping, you would receive $5).

Commission

Commission is received on each sale of your products, regardless if a code is used or not. For affiliate and link sales you receive 25% of the net profit per item sold. This is the profit left over once the costs of production/shipping/taxes of the product are removed. As the products are made-to-order the unit cost is higher than if you wished to bulk order and ship product yourself once received. Both options are available. Commission is paid out using Paypal at the beginning of the next month. Please ensure your PayPal email is up to date on your affiliate account to avoid issues with receiving the payment. There is no commission awarded for bulk order sales as those sales include significant discounts in place of commission.

Qualifying for a Storefront

Qualifying for a Partner store is achieved by making $1000 in sales in a calendar year in your affiliate storefront. Bulk team orders do not apply to these sales.

Benefits

All storefronts come with a 5% public use code (can be used across the website not just on your products) and a 15% ownership code (applicable only on your teams storefront). You can request these codes to be setup by emailing customer support at contact@akquire.ca with your 2 unique codes. The ownership code requires a list of emails authorized to use the code before it can be setup. If your public code is used on Akquire brand products you receive a 5% bounty on the sale total (ie. Sale is made for $100 before tax/shipping, you would receive $5).

Commission

Commission is received on each sale of your products, regardless if a code is used or not. For partner sales you receive 40% of the net profit per item sold. This is the profit left over once the costs of production/shipping/taxes of the product are removed. As the products are made-to-order the unit cost is higher than if you wished to bulk order and ship product yourself once received. Both options are available. Commission is paid out using Paypal at the beginning of the next month. Please ensure your PayPal email is up to date on your affiliate account to avoid issues with receiving the payment. There is no commission awarded for bulk order sales as those sales include significant discounts in place of commission.

Qualifying for a Storefront

Qualifying for a Collegiate/High School storefront depends mainly on any licensing concerns there may be for your school. Those that require licensing are not able to get a retail storefront but we are able to provide you with product internally. If you are unsure if this applies to your school please reach out to us at contact@akquire.ca and we can look into this for you.

Ordering + Shipping

Here are some helpful tips & tools to help you check the status of your order:

  • Check your email – We send you automated emails regarding the status of your order at different statuses (Processing, Assembling, Completed Manufacturing*, Shipped)
  • Visit our Order Status page – Click here to check your order status online at any time.
  • Contact us – If you still have questions about your order, please contact us at contact@akquire.ca

Keep in mind some products are fulfilled from different locations or require their own shipping to prevent damage in transit (hat visors, etc). This means sometimes you will receive parts of your order at different times.

*Packaging for Shipping means the product has completed assembly and should be marked shipped in the next few business days*

Have you received a shipping notification but when it arrives only part of your order is present?

This is completely normal, in fact there is a few reasons this may happen. Firstly, some products are more fragile and can suffer damage if not shipped separately for the main order. This is generally the case for orders containing hats as the weight of clothing in shipping can ruin the visor. Another reason this can happen is in an effort to get you the products as quickly as possible. If we are out of stock in one location we will fulfill your order from another facility. You aren’t charged extra for this and there is no extra charge for shipping in this scenario.

Lastly, a large portion of our products are custom cut-and-sew products made from scratch with sheets of fabric and dyed with the design/gamertags/sponsors etc. These products have a much longer completion time in comparison to printed and embroidered blanks. Due to this we send the portion of your order that is completed and the custom products once they complete manufacturing. You will receive tracking for each shipment so don’t be concerned if you receive 2+ tracking numbers.

Due to the custom nature of our manufacturing process it is very important to review the size charts before making your order. Products are made-to-order we cannot accept exchanges on incorrect sizes ordered.

To measure for your chest width start 2″ below armpit and measure across the front of your chest only to the other armpit. This is the number you will use for width. Length begins at the top of the shoulder to your waist.

Note: Some cut & sew product can be tailored to ensure a proper fit no matter the size. To inquire about custom tailoring please contact Customer Service.
