Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an Affiliate Campaign
Step 1: Start by Clicking the "Add" Button
Navigate to the Campaign page and click the "+ Add" button to begin creating your campaign.
Step 2: Choose Your Campaign Source
Select the source for your campaign, such as a funnel, website, or store where your products are listed.
Step 3: Configure Source Details
Choose the landing page where potential customers will arrive. The system will generate a default campaign URL, which includes a unique affiliate link. The placeholder <<affiliate_id>> will automatically be replaced with each affiliate's unique ID.
Note: Currently, only funnels, websites, and stores support product sales via affiliate campaigns. You can also track leads and reward affiliates for generating leads through forms, surveys, and calendars.
Step 4: Review Your Product List
Review the products associated with your selected source. Add or remove products to ensure that only commission-eligible items are included.
Step 5: Set Default Commission
Establish a default commission for your campaign. You can choose either a flat fee or a percentage of the product price.
Step 6: Customize Product-Level Commissions (Optional)
Optionally, set specific commissions at the product level to tailor payouts based on individual product prices.
Step 7: Enable Multi-Tier Commissions
Access the Advanced Commissions settings to enable multi-tier commissions, supporting up to 7 tiers for more complex commission structures.
Step 8: Configure Tier-Specific Commissions
Assign commissions to each tier by either applying the default rate or customizing them for each level based on performance.
Step 9: Add a Campaign Description (Optional)
Add a campaign description to outline its purpose, making it more appealing to potential affiliates.
Step 10: Assign Affiliates Directly
Review affiliate details, such as their join date and total affiliate count, before directly assigning them to your campaign.
Step 11: Adjust Additional Settings
Further customize your campaign with options such as:
- Email templates for affiliate onboarding
- Cookie duration for tracking affiliate activity
- Payout terms
- Including setup fees in commission calculations
- Enabling sub-affiliate signups
- Auto-enrolling new customers as sub-affiliates
Step 12: Publish or Save as Draft
Once satisfied with your campaign setup, choose to Publish it immediately or Save as Draft for further editing.
