What ClickBank is
ClickBank is a paid affiliate marketing platform from a company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, USA. It provides API access alongside automated payouts and fraud prevention. Listed platform capabilities include integrated payments, affiliate management, reporting and analytics, and global reach through the Platform Fee plan. ClickBank uses a last-click attribution model and a 60-day cookie window. The Product Approval plan is listed at $49.95 a month, described as a 49.95 USD one-time fee after the first product approval for an internal compliance review. A separate Platform Fee plan has no listed price and includes integrated payments, global reach, affiliate management, reporting and analytics, and fraud protection. There is no free plan. API is the listed platform, making ClickBank relevant for operations that need programmatic connections, payout automation, tracking attribution, and fraud-related controls. The different plan descriptions separate approval charges from broader platform capabilities.
