Winstep Xtreme
Winstep allows publishers, resellers, and website operators to promote Winstep products and earn 30% on referred product orders. After signup, an affiliate receives unique download and order-page URLs for each product. The official page says that when a visitor downloads through the unique download URL, a cookie is stored on the visitor’s computer so the affiliate can receive credit if the customer later orders through the affiliate’s site, the Winstep site, or the program itself. Downloads are hosted on Winstep’s servers, so affiliates do not need to host the software. Affiliates can view sales and manage account information in the BMT Micro Reseller Center.

Program Rules, Approval and Restrictions
Guidelines and limitations you need to follow when promoting Winstep Xtreme
SOCIAL MEDIA ALLOWED | |
EMAIL MARKETING ALLOWED | |
PPC ALLOWED | |
Trademark Bidding | |
GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS | No geographic restrictions are stated on the official affiliate page. Winstep separately identifies an authorized distribution partner for China and has announced a distributor for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, but those distribution relationships do not establish affiliate eligibility restrictions. |
COUPON SITE ALLOWED |
- Approval process
- Conditional approval. Applicants must complete the BMT Micro affiliate signup process. Existing BMT Micro affiliates can log into the Winstep Reseller Center with their existing BMT Micro credentials. The official page describes signup as simple and free and refers to publishers, resellers, and website operators, but it does not publish a required audience size, traffic level, website-content standard, age requirement, or formal application checklist.
- Other restrictions
- The official affiliate page permits advertising Winstep products and supplies product descriptions, PAD XML data, banners, and buttons. It does not publish a complete promotional-policy document. No verified rules were found for PPC, trademark bidding, coupon or deal sites, email marketing, social promotion, ad-copy claims, incentivized traffic, software bundling, or trademark usage. These practices therefore require confirmation from Winstep or BMT Micro before implementation.
