Different Referral Types
Affiliate marketing is about action. You pay affiliates when they get people to take a certain action on your site. Each action is worth a different value though. For example, a sale is worth more to you than a lead, so your commission structure needs to reflect this.
- Incentivize a variety of actions: sales, leads, signups, and more.
- Set your commission based on the type of referral.
- Manage all referrals in one place with powerful analytics.
Different Commission Types
With AffiliateWP, you can choose how you pay affiliates. That might be a percentage of the total value of a sale, or it might be a flat fee for each sale. Smart rules also let you exclude extras such as shipping and tax from the referral calculation.
- Pay commission as a % of order value.
- Pay a flat fee for each referral.
- Use smart rules to remove extras such as shipping and tax from the commission calculation.
