With an affiliate program, your customers share a link to your website. When someone they sent pays their first invoice, they earn a share of it. You decide the share.
Steps
- Sign in to your brand admin. See Open your brand admin.
- In the menu, open Billing → Affiliates.
- Under Program settings, tick Run an affiliate program.
- Type the Commission (%): the share of the first paid invoice, from 0 to 100.
- Type the Minimum payout in your brand's currency. Affiliates can ask to be paid once they have earned this much.
- Type the Cookie days: how long a click on a link is remembered, from 1 to 365.
- Read the list under When you save: and click Save.
What happens next
- You see Saved. Your customers can now join from Affiliate in their client area.
- Your website gets an affiliates page at /affiliates that explains your program with your own numbers.
- A new commission counts for people who sign up after you change it. People already referred keep the rate from when they signed up.
- If you turn the program off, nobody new can join and clicks on links are not remembered. Money already earned and payout requests already waiting stay.
Common problems
My website has no affiliates page
The page shows only while the program is on and the commission is above 0.
Save says a box is wrong
Type plain numbers without a currency sign or commas, for example 10 or 7.5 for the commission.
