How to Activate an Affiliate's Commission

  • Updated

Learn to activate Affiliate Commission to credit your Affiliate's for transactions made with their Share Links.

In this article:

Give an Affiliate Commission

Activating Affiliate commission within your Offers will credit the transaction to your Affiliate users for the Offers you specify. Information about an Affiliate's commission can be found in your Affiliate Dashboard.

  • Open the Products tab from the Dashboard.
  • Click Offers.
  • Select the Offer you wish to edit.
  • Scroll down to the After Purchase section of the Offer edit page.
  • Check the box next Give an Affiliate commission.
  • Enter the percentage you are willing to offer your Affiliates when an Affiliate transaction occurs.
  • Remember to click Save to keep your changes:

Note:
Selecting Give an Affiliate commission in an Offer tracks Affiliate transactions for the specific Offer. You will need to manually pay your Affiliates as it is not an automatic process. 

Override Offer Percentage for Individual Affiliate Users

Looking to give a different commission percentage to specific Affiliate Users?

First, be sure to activate Affiliate Commission in your Offers to track purchases made with your Affiliates Share Links. 

Then, override the percentage for specific Affiliate Users in the Affiliate Dashboard:

  • Open the People tab from the Dashboard.
  • Select Affiliates.
  • Click Users.
  • Select or search for the Affiliate User you wish to edit.
  • Locate Affiliate Percentages.
  • Enter your desired Percentage override and click Allow affiliate's percentage to be overridden:

Note:
Checking Allow affiliate's percentage to be overridden will override the commission percentage specified in all Offers with Affiliate commission activated. The Affiliate Percentage will not specify the commission percentage for specific, individual Offers. If left unchecked, the commission percentage specified in the Offer will determine the Affiliate's commission tracked with the Affiliate Program.

What if the Offer is a Subscription?

If the Offer is a Subscription, the Affiliate commission is set for the lifetime of that Member's subscription. For example, if a Member purchases a monthly subscription Offer and pays each month, your Affiliate(s) will be credited for a monthly commission for the Member's lifetime each month the Member continues to pay.
