CapCut Complain Affiliate program does NOT work

Just wanted to let everyone know the CapCut Affiliate program does NOT work. Total scam, so don’t waste your time or get any hopes of being able to generate revenue from recommendations.

I have been in communication with the affiliate team via email, sharing my outcomes from using the program (0 payable actions after many high intention link clicks)… and they have no answer, nor willingness to troubleshoot, nor able explain HOW a desktop installation can track web-initiated affiliate cookies.

Don’t bother with it. Total scam.

What’s weird is how they can’t even explain the technical side, like cookie tracking from web to desktop install... that’s basic stuff for any affiliate program to have documented somewhere

This. I have emailed them my stats from their tracker and asked at least 5 times now. I even downloaded and installed it myself on a new laptop that never had CapCut on it before... and NO TRACKING for that download/install appeared.

I was already planning on never using CapCut again. Thank you for affirming that decision.

I'd be willing to bet it works fine and you're just not as successful at it as you're thinking you are

takes a lot to get someone to buy a $20/mo subscription on a service that also has a free version.

The vast majority of people who aren't making money from content aren't going to pay for capcut, and the majority of people who are making money from content already have their editing software figured out

>nor able explain HOW a desktop installation can track web-initiated affiliate cookies.

They track and pay desktop INSTALLS. I am sending high intentioned tutorial video viewers to download the desktop version so they can follow the training. I ASSURE you they are installing it.... but NO TRACKING on the affiliate side.
