Open the program

Before anyone recommends your products, you decide three things: who can join, how long a click counts and how much each affiliate earns with each product. Everything is set up on a single screen.

Start the program

  1. 1. Click Affiliates in the side menu and open Program and rules.
  2. 2. Tick Affiliate program active and choose the Sign-up mode.
  3. 3. Type the Attribution window in days and the Program terms.
  4. 4. Turn on With commission on each product and choose the Type and its value.
  5. 5. Click Save changes.

The sign-up mode

With open sign-up, anyone joins at once. With approval, you review each application and we let you know by email of each one. By invitation only, only those you invite join. An email invitation leaves the invitee active in any mode.

In open and approval modes you have a public program page, which your buyers see in their area. That page is not indexed by search engines.

The attribution window

The window says how many days a click counts. With 30 days, whoever arrives through a link and buys three weeks later still counts for that affiliate. It goes from 1 to 90 days. The last click within the window wins.

The commission

The commission can be a percentage from 1% to 90% or a fixed amount. It is calculated on the price before VAT after coupons. In a subscription, it can also be paid on each renewal. It never exceeds your net on that sale, so a sale never leaves you in the red.

Invite your first affiliates

  1. 1. In Affiliates, click Invite affiliate.
  2. 2. Type their Email and, if you want, their display name.
  3. 3. Click Send invitation.

Start with those who already talk about you: happy students, colleagues, accounts with an audience similar to yours. Open your affiliate program explains it.

What you have now

Your program is open with its commissions. In the next chapter you see when each commission is held and released.
