Affiliate Referrals

The Affiliate Referral commission allows an affiliate to refer other affiliates, while receiving a percentage of their sales commission. Trackfinity allows you to further encourage referrals by setting up multiple tiers for Affiliate Referrals.

Example

Affiliate Alice signs up Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales. Affiliate Bob signs up Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales. In this setup, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage of your choosing for each tier.

Create an Affiliate Referral Offer

  • Tracking Domain - domain you would like to use for this offer's linkcodes
  • Landing Page
  • Offer Description
  • Private - if checked new affiliates will not be automatically allowed to use this landing page. Using the Modify Enabled Affiliates button, you can edit the affiliates who can access the offer.

Note

By default, all affiliates can access your affiliate referral offer.

Next, you will need to set up the commission.

  • $Flat - The Flat rate paid to an affiliate who makes a referral.
  • $Minimum - The minimum amount of money the referred affiliate would have to make before the referring affiliate would get the - $Flat rate.
  • Days to Reach Minimum - Specifies the amount of time the refereed affiliate has to make the $Minimum.
  • %Tier2 - The flat rate received by the referring affiliate when the referred affiliate refers a new affiliate.

Example

Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Affiliate Alice receives the %Tier2 flat rate.

Once you have done this, you can set up tiered payments under the Referred Customer Commissions heading.

Example

Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales: This is the tier 1 commission. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales. This is the Tier 2 and 3 commissions. In other words, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Bob's first tier and Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage of your choosing for each tier.

Lastly, you can choose if you would like to mark the offer as hidden, meaning you would keep all affiliates from seeing their affiliate referral links. Once finished, click "Save Changes".

Your affiliates will now be able to grab linkcodes for the affiliate referral offer like any other offer.
