Showing or hiding products from affiliates is a great way to control which products you want them to promote.
Excluded products will stop showing up for your affiliates and generating commissions.
Introduction
By default, all of your published products will appear on your affiliates’ dashboard, allowing them to promote these products and earn commissions.
If you don’t want affiliates to share or promote a specific product, you can exclude it from showing up for them.
This will hide the product from your affiliate’s dashboard and stop commissions from being generated for any excluded products.
Excluding products from affiliates
Here's how to exclude specific products from showing up for affiliates.
From the top navigation menu, click on Audience and select Affiliates.
From the Affiliates page, click on the Settings tab to access your affiliate program options.
Navigate to the "Exclude products" area.
Type the name of the product you want to exclude from affiliates and click on its name to get them added.
Repeat this process to add as many products as you'd like.
Excluded products will be excluded for ALL affiliates.
Additionally, any existing referral links will stop working, meaning commissions will no longer be generated for the products you’ve chosen to exclude from affiliates.
