FAQ:
When should I create multiple campaigns?
The affiliate manager allows you to create multiple campaigns when you have different:
The landing page your affiliate's users will visit
Product on which the commission would be applicable on
Affiliates who will promote the product
Affiliate commission percentages
Affiliate payout frequency
For example, you create two campaigns within your affiliate program. The first campaign is designed for your regular affiliates, who will earn a commission of 20% for each sale they generate. The second campaign specifically targets influencers, who will receive a higher % commission rate of 30% per sale. This approach allows you to differentiate commission rates based on the type of affiliate, enabling you to incentivize and reward them accordingly.
Can an affiliate be part of multiple campaigns?
Certainly! An affiliate can participate in multiple campaigns within your affiliate program, and each campaign will provide a unique affiliate link to the affiliates. It is important to ensure that you avoid linking the same product across multiple campaigns when setting up products. This ensures accurate tracking and prevents any skewing of data or statistics related to the performance of your campaigns.
My Affiliate Campaign won't publish. What can I do?
In the campaign overview, a green color indicates that the campaign is currently 'Live' and active. Conversely, red indicates that the campaign is 'Paused' or temporarily inactive. Please refer to the image above for visual reference.
A campaign is created in a paused state if the following conditions are met:
Stripe integration is not connected: When the integration with Stripe, a payment processing platform, is not established, the campaign will be automatically set to a paused state.
Affiliates are not added: If no affiliates have been added to the campaign, it will also be paused until affiliates are included.
Where can I find my affiliate Links for each campaign?
Once a campaign is live, an email notification is sent to the affiliate's registered email address. Alternatively, you can obtain the affiliate link by following these steps: Go to the Affiliate section, click on the specific affiliate, select the campaign from the dropdown menu, and locate the affiliate link on the right-hand side of the campaign details.
