For a detailed explanation on how to activate your GPS, please click here to see this page.
The GPS activation procedure changes a little bit, depending on your current membership status.
You can be a Shopper, Affiliate, Trial Partner.
- If you are as Shopper, the first thing you need to do is to upgrade to Affiliate for Free. You can do it in a second by clicking the green button that you see on your Dashboard.
- If you are an Affiliate, the best thing to do is always to become a Trial Partner first and then confirm even after a second, but not later than thirty days, the GPS you have activated for your FREE Trial.
Do so; click the green button you see on your Dashboard to read everything about the FREE Trial Program and select the GPS you want to try.
Nevertheless, you can decide to activate your GPS and become a Partner instantly, without starting your FREE Trial. To do so, click the red button you see on your dashboard and proceed with the payment.
See this video for detailed instructions on how to upgrade from Affiliate to Partner directly.
- If you are a Trial Partner, you can click the button directly “Confirm Your GPS” that you see on your Trial Partner Control Center.
See the main video on this page for detailed instructions on how to confirm your Trial GPS and become a Real Partner.
Bear in mind that you can only confirm the GPS you are currently trying or a higher one. But not a lower one. For example, if you are a Trial Partner with a GPS Pro, you can confirm this one or a GPS Pro Plus, Premier, or Premier Plus. But not a GPS Basic or Basic Plus.
If you want to do so, you need to wait for your 30-Day Trial Program expiration and activate whatever GPS you want directly.
How to pay with PayPal even if you don’t have a PayPal account.
Certain countries are blacklisted by credit card companies and don’t allow you to use your credit/debit card. So, if you are a resident in some of these Countries, your credit/debit card payment will probably fail.
In this case, at the checkout, you can select PayPal as a payment option, even if you currently don’t have a PayPal account.
Please see this video on Paying directly with a Credit/Debit Card through PayPal without a PayPal account for detailed instructions.
GPS MONTHLY RENEWAL
You can enjoy your GPS thanks to a monthly subscription. In your dashboard, you can always see the renewal day of your GPS. You also receive a few email notifications before that day.
You can always divide to swap your GPS type with a higher or lower one.
You have no obligations, and you can also decide not to renew your GPS. In that case, we offer you a 30-Day grace period where you can still keep your Partner position, but no earnings can be credited to your account. At the end of the grace period, your partner position is downgraded to the status of Affiliate.
To renew your GPS, click the “GPS Renewal” button you see in your dashboard and proceed from there.
You can also opt for the automatic renewal. You need to activate this option before the end of the month, but it works only when you have enough payable commissions to pay for the next GPS monthly fee.
Another possibility you can opt-in for is the Automatic Community Contribution Optimization.
Please read more about it here.
How to use the Clubshop eGift Card for your renewal.
Even if you don’t have enough payable commissions to use the automatic renewal, you can still use them for that. How?
Let’s say the end of the month is approaching, and you have only $24.95 as Payable commissions balance, and you want to renew your GPS Pro ($49.90) at the next renewal day automatically, using these earnings.
Well, you need to integrate them with the missing part ($25) you need for your next renewal by purchasing a Clubshop eGift Card for $25 or whatever amount you need to integrate your balance.
The amount of your eGift Card will be credited on your Payable Commissions column before the end of the month so that you can use both your payable commissions and the eGift Card to renew your GPS automatically when it is due.
IMPORTANT: Before the end of the month, make sure the Automatic Renewal Checkbox is flagged.
