It’s really easy! Are you in charge of a music school, play in a band, write for a trade magazine, or run a blog or YouTube channel? Then simply register as a Professional Partner using our registration form and start linking to our shop and products on your website, YouTube channel, or Facebook page. As soon as someone visits our online shop via your links and places an order, you’ll automatically receive up to 4.00% of the purchase value credited to your customer account.
When, where, and how often you link to our shop or products is entirely up to you: Whether you place a simple button with our logo on your website linking to us, or add a product link in a YouTube description – as soon as someone clicks your link, makes a purchase, you’ll earn commission directly to your account.
First, you need to fill out the registration form. Within two working days, you’ll receive a pre-filled partner contract from us, which you simply need to sign and return.* After that, you’ll receive your individual Partner ID and a short introduction to the partner program.
Once a purchase is made in our shop via one of your partner links, you’ll receive a commission. Payouts are made at the end of each quarter (plus 30-day return period), meaning we measure the revenue you’ve generated during that quarter, and you’ll receive a fixed commission of 4.00% from the very first euro of sales.
Payouts begin once you’ve generated €1,000 in sales. If this threshold isn’t met in the first business year, the sales amount will carry over to the following years until the €1,000 threshold is reached. After that, the sales total resets to zero at the end of the year.
If you have further questions, feel free to email us at:
linkpartner@musicstore.de
It’s very simple! You just need to add your individual Partner ID to the URL (link) of the page. The code always consists of "?ProgramUUID=" followed by your 24-character Partner ID, for example "?ProgramUUID=aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwx"
This ensures that every purchase made through your link is properly credited to your customer account.
We’ve also provided a Link Generator for you below – simply enter the URL (link) to a product, category, or landing page along with your Partner ID, and click "Create Link" (the "Campaign" field is optional – we’ll explain its use after you register). You can then copy the generated link and use it to link to us.
If you have any further questions, contact us via email at linkpartner@musicstore.de

* The MUSIC STORE Professional Partner Program can be terminated by either party within 72 hours without providing reasons.

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the participation of advertising partners ("Affiliates") in the affiliate network of MUSIC STORE professional GmbH, Istanbulstr. 22–26, 51109 Cologne ("Merchant"). Affiliates promote the Merchant's products and/or services on the internet, e.g., by linking to provided landing pages or through other approved marketing activities.
The Merchant may offer various programmes for the promotion of individual products and services ("Affiliate Programmes"). The specific contractual relationship between the Merchant and the Affiliate arises from these GTC, the regulations of the respective Affiliate Programmes, and the associated individual agreements ("Special Provisions"). Together, these regulations form the contract between the Merchant and the Affiliate ("Contracting Parties").
1. Registration
1.1 Registration process
To participate in the affiliate network, the Affiliate must register via the registration form provided by the Merchant and enter all required information accurately and completely. The Merchant reserves the right to verify the data. The Affiliate agrees to keep their information up to date throughout the contract term and to promptly notify any changes by email to linkpartner@musicstore.de.
1.2 Conclusion of the contract
By submitting the registration and agreeing to these GTC, the Affiliate submits a binding contractual offer. The contract is concluded with the Affiliate's signature. The Merchant may reject the offer without stating reasons, in particular if the intended advertising platform does not fit the company concept or contains illegal content.
2. Marketing activities
2.1 General
Once accepted by the Merchant, the Affiliate may, for the duration of the contract and participation in the respective Affiliate Programme, carry out advertising in accordance with these GTC and the Special Provisions. The Merchant may provide templates and promotional materials for this purpose, which will include links to the intended landing pages.
2.2 Merchant's requirements
The Affiliate may only advertise to the extent permitted in these GTC, the Special Provisions, or in separate instructions from the Merchant. The Merchant may issue instructions regarding the type and manner of advertising at any time and is entitled to prohibit certain activities or promotional materials or to demand their removal.
2.3 Prohibited marketing activities
In particular, the following activities are not permitted:
violating the rights of third parties or the Merchant (e.g., copyright, trademark, or personal rights),
violating applicable laws or public morals,
containing malware,
spreading false information (e.g., non-existent vouchers),
containing pornographic content,
generating clicks via Google Ads or other PPC networks, or
violating these GTC.
2.4 Unsolicited advertising
When advertising via email, the legal provisions regarding spam prohibition must be observed. The Affiliate must obtain the recipients’ consent in advance and be able to provide proof of this upon request by the Merchant.
3. Commission
3.1 Commission model
The Affiliate receives performance-based compensation ("Commission"). The amount and billing model are determined by the Special Provisions. By default, the commission is 4% of the referred net revenue. Billing is quarterly; payment is made to the bank account specified by the Affiliate.
Settlement takes place at the end of each quarter (plus a 30-day return policy).
A payout is made when a cumulative revenue of €1,000 is reached. If this amount is not reached in the first year, revenues are carried forward into subsequent years until the threshold is exceeded. After that, revenue is reset at the end of the year.
3.2 Entitlement to commission
A commission entitlement arises only if:
the purchase can be clearly traced back to an affiliate link,
the order has actually been completed, and
no manipulation or abuse (e.g., false data) has occurred.
The Affiliate receives a quarterly statement of all recorded transactions.
3.3 Payment
Once the cumulative commission entitlement reaches €1,000, payment will be made at the end of the quarter. At the end of the contract, all outstanding commissions, regardless of the amount, will be paid out.
3.4 Recording of transactions
The Affiliate is aware that certain transactions may not be recorded due to technical reasons (e.g., system failures, browser settings, force majeure). For billing purposes, the Merchant's system records are binding.
3.5 Reclaim
Commissions paid out in error may be reclaimed by the Merchant.
4. Licences
The Merchant grants the Affiliate a simple, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and royalty-free right to use the provided templates for the duration of the contract.
5. Liability
5.1 Force majeure
The Merchant is not liable for performance failures due to circumstances beyond its control (e.g., network or system failures, hacker attacks, strikes, war).
6. Indemnification
The Affiliate shall indemnify the Merchant from all third-party claims arising from conduct attributable to the Affiliate and shall bear the cost of defence.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 Duty of confidentiality
Both parties undertake to protect confidential information with the same care as their own confidential data and to use it only within the scope of contractual obligations or legal requirements.
8. Term and termination
8.1 Term
The contract is concluded for an indefinite period.
8.2 Termination
Both parties may terminate the contract at any time without notice and without stating reasons. The Affiliate may terminate in writing or directly in the account. The Merchant shall terminate in text form.
8.3 Statutory rights of termination
Statutory termination rights remain unaffected.
8.4 Consequences of termination
Upon termination of the contract, all marketing activities must cease immediately, all links and templates must be removed, and the rights of use shall expire. Certain obligations (e.g., liability, indemnification, confidentiality) will survive the termination of the contract.
8.5 Termination of individual programmes
When participation in a specific affiliate programme ends, the same obligations apply as upon termination of the contract, but only for that specific programme.
9. Final provisions
9.1 Changes to the GTC
The Merchant may amend these GTC with six weeks’ notice. The Affiliate may object up to two weeks before they take effect. If no objection is made, the change is deemed accepted. If the Affiliate objects, the contract continues unchanged, or the Merchant may terminate the contract as of the effective date of the changes.
9.2 Severability clause
If individual provisions are invalid, the remainder of the contract shall remain in effect.
9.3 Applicable law
German law shall apply exclusively, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
9.4 Place of jurisdiction
Cologne shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from or in connection with this contract, provided the Affiliate is a merchant.
