The affiliate program explained
To get started with the affiliate program, it is important to know how the affiliate program works. Let's start with a general overview.
- A store can configure an affiliate program. Once enabled, users can apply to join the affiliate program from the store's customer portal
- When users apply to join your store's affiliate program, you will receive that request in the Affiliates dashboard with a status of pending
- Once you accept the request, the affiliate can start promoting your product(s) with their unique affiliate ID
- Whenever an affiliate refers a customer with their affiliate code, the purchase is attributed to them. You can see referred purchases in the Referrals dashboard
- Once an affiliate has referred enough customers to meet the minimum payout threshold, which is defined in your store's affiliate settings, they will be eligible for a payout
- On the 1st and 15th of the month, you will receive a notification to pay eligible affiliates out.
- SellApp does not handle payouts, but we do make it very easy. The Payouts dashboard lets you export pending payouts with all the prerequisite information to pay your affiliates out (in bulk)
