I am increasingly asked about the Liberty Affiliate Program, which was once the insurance company Kit Finance. Since I was tired of answering, I decided to write a small post about them, and I will, by tradition, give a link to it. Unfortunately, Liberty's technical support leaves much to be desired (it is almost non-existent), so let's collect and discuss emerging questions and problems here. Accordingly, what I know myself, I will immediately write.

What is Liberty
It is an insurance company with offices in different countries. I didn't know the details, but I read a lot of reviews about them, in particular about Thailand.
An overview of insurance companies, what assistance is, how to use insurance, I have outlined in the article travel insurance. Read all this there, and here we are talking about the affiliate program.
Liberty affiliate program
In short, at a very low cost, the insurance is working, checked personally. Yes, of course, they have a class assistance service company, which is not among the leaders, hospitals are not the best, shoals happen, but do not forget about the price. When you buy insurance for just a week, it doesn't really matter, but when you buy insurance for half a year, the difference is wow. Are you ready to pay 30-40 thousand rubles per person for insurance for six months from ISOS? I'm not here, so I'm making us insurance from Liberty. Well, who is ready, there are other insurance companies too.
Registration in the Liberty affiliate program and conditions
There is no registration in Liberty. You need to write to them directly, for example, to this address s.savchenko (dog) libertyrus.ru
After approval, you will need to sign an agreement with them as an individual (they will withhold 13% tax from your earnings), or as an individual entrepreneur (pay tax yourself, for example, 6% according to STS). Before signing, you will have to fill out a questionnaire with a bunch of fields, you will be checked by a paranoid security service, as if you are getting a job as a general director, and do not want to become just a member of the affiliate program. In my case this «haemorrhoids» worth it as it will be in yours, I don't know.
Once a month, you need to send a scan of the signed act on the performed agency services by e-mail, and once every 1-3 months send the originals by paper mail.
Your income is 15% from sales. You can receive money either in cash at the office in Moscow, or on a Unicredit bank card, which will be made to you for free.
Cookies are stored for 15 days.
Affiliate tools
Of the affiliate tools, you will only have a widget, which you will have to customize yourself. For those who know html and CSS, there will be no problem. Also, unfortunately, in your personal account you will not have almost any statistics, except for sales and the total amount for the month. Not a lot at all, for serious analytics you will have to install additional functionality.
Connecting scripts
You can connect the necessary scripts, either inside the head tag or already in footer.php before closing the body tag. Below is the default set you need.
The jquery.min.js script is connected by default by WordPress itself (it is called, however, jquery.js). But with me, the scripts from Liberty did not want to work because of the jQuery.noConflict () mode, so I downloaded jquery.min.js from Google, and not from the folder with Worpdress on the hosting. To do this, you need to use the following construction to re-register the script, either in header.php, or in functions.php (example below):
if (! is_admin ()) {
wp_deregister_script ('jquery');
wp_register_script ('jquery', '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js', array (), '1.11.1');
wp_enqueue_script ('jquery');
}
If you also do, then the line from the example above with http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js, you will no longer need it. Also, personally, I did not need the widjet_liberty800300.css file, this is css for a wide widget, so I did not include it. The jquery-ui.css library is needed to display the calendar, but it may well be that it is already connected to you by another plugin, like jquery-ui.min.js, you need to check. Thus, in most cases, only 3 files will be connected..
The widget code itself
This code must be inserted into the place where you will have the insurance search form, in WordPress these are usually widgets in the sidebar, only it is best to insert it not into a plain text one, but into a widget that supports php (a special plugin must be installed).
The widget code is very long, so I copied it to the file. Just do not forget to replace my pin there with your own. Although you can leave it, I will not be upset 🙂
Unfortunately, this does not end there. You will need to go through the fields of the widget and set them to the desired display in CSS. That is, register some id and class’s that will be crooked in your template.
Is there any alternative
As you can see, the Liberty affiliate program is not very friendly and you need to have some knowledge to implement it all on the site. In principle, you can hire someone to do it if it is difficult for yourself.
So, one of the alternatives is Cherekhapa. This is an aggregator of insurance and the user is asked to choose one of several. They pay less, already 10%, since they themselves are intermediaries between you and the insurance company, and they also need to earn money. But the widgets are ready-made, colors and sizes are customizable, there is no need to trick anything. And cuckos are stored for 30 days, instead of 15 at Liberty.
For me personally, the conversion turned out worse, but I did not experiment with the colors of the widgets. Perhaps it is worth trying again in order to draw new conclusions. If someone is ready to share the data in comparison with Liberty, I will only be glad. Also, perhaps soon Aviasales will come up with something with insurance. Recently they added car rental, that is, the process of aggregation of other affiliate programs is underway..
