ACCESSTRADE

ACCESSTRADE is not a single product with one affiliate offer — it is one of Asia's largest performance-marketing networks. Operated by Japan's Interspace Co., Ltd. since 2001, ACCESSTRADE connects merchants and publishers on a cost-per-action (CPA) basis across six markets. For affiliates, that means two things: you can join ACCESSTRADE as a publisher to promote thousands of merchant campaigns, and ACCESSTRADE itself is also listed as having its own referral/affiliate program. This listing covers both angles honestly, because the numbers you'll actually earn depend heavily on which campaigns you run inside the network.

About ACCESSTRADE

ACCESSTRADE describes itself as "the largest CPA affiliate marketing network in Japan & Southeastern Asia." It launched in Japan in 1999/2001 and expanded through regional offices: Indonesia (2012), Thailand (2013), Vietnam (2014), and Singapore and Malaysia (both 2018). The core value proposition is its local network in each country, reportedly linking over 8,500 merchants and 550,000 publishers.

The network operates on the standard performance model: merchants pay only for a defined "Action" — a sale, a lead such as a user registration, a call, or a download — that a publisher generates through banners, text links or other channels. In several markets, ACCESSTRADE is a dominant player; its Vietnamese site advertises publisher earnings "up to 50 million VND/month" and free training through the ACCESSTRADE Academy, which signals how heavily it invests in publisher acquisition locally.

How the ACCESSTRADE affiliate program works

There are two layers to understand.

As a publisher inside the network

The primary way to earn is to register as a publisher, browse the campaign marketplace, and promote individual merchant offers. Each campaign sets its own payout (CPS, CPL, CPI, etc.), accepted traffic sources, and rules. So your effective commission is defined per merchant, not by a single network-wide rate.

The ACCESSTRADE program as catalogued by third parties

A third-party directory (Post Affiliate Pro) lists ACCESSTRADE's own affiliate program with these terms:

• Program type: CPL (Cost Per Lead), single-tier — you earn only on actions you personally generate.
• Commission rate: 2% (percentage commission).
• Cookie duration: 30 days from last click.
• Accepted countries: Worldwide.
• Accepted traffic: PPC, link and banner advertisements.
• Promotional materials: image banners and text-link banners.
• Minimum payout: $50.
• Payout methods: check and wire transfer.
• Payout frequency: listed as "Other" (not specified).

To join as a publisher, you sign up through the ACCESSTRADE site for your region (global, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, or Malaysia). Registration is free. Because ACCESSTRADE runs localized platforms, the exact sign-up flow, currency, and available campaigns differ by country office.

Who should promote ACCESSTRADE

ACCESSTRADE fits a specific audience:

• Publishers in Southeast Asia and Japan — content creators, bloggers, coupon and deal sites, and social/KOC marketers targeting Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore or Japan, where ACCESSTRADE has strong local merchant coverage.
• Affiliates who want a diverse campaign catalogue rather than a single product, and who are comfortable managing offers whose payouts vary.
• Marketers referring others to the network, who can use the catalogued 2% CPL referral terms.

It's a weaker fit if you want a simple, high-percentage recurring SaaS-style commission on a single product, or if your audience is entirely outside ACCESSTRADE's core Asian markets.

Pros and cons

Pros

• One of the largest and most established CPA networks in Japan and Southeast Asia, operating since 2001.
• Huge merchant inventory (8,500+ merchants) across multiple verticals and countries.
• Free registration, worldwide acceptance (per the directory), and a reasonable 30-day cookie.
• Local support offices and free publisher training in several markets.

Cons

• The headline "2%" rate comes from a third-party directory, not ACCESSTRADE's own published page — treat it as approximate and unconfirmed.
• Actual earnings depend on each merchant campaign, so there is no reliable single commission figure.
• Payout frequency is unspecified ("Other"), and payment is by check or wire with a $50 minimum.
• Strongest value is regional; publishers focused on Western markets may find limited relevant campaigns.

Bottom line: ACCESSTRADE is a serious option for publishers focused on Japan and Southeast Asia who want access to a large, localized CPA marketplace. Just verify the exact commission, payout schedule and currency directly with the regional office you sign up with, since the specifics catalogued online are third-party sourced and the real numbers live inside each campaign.
