The affiliate portal
What your affiliates see on your subdomain: links, earnings and payouts.
Affiliates get their own dashboard on your affiliate subdomain, at /affiliates/dashboard. It carries your product's name and site, and has four pages: Overview, Links, Commissions and Payouts. Affiliates see only their own data, and never see a commission as Flagged: a flagged commission shows to them as Pending.
Overview
At the top, Your link shows their primary link with a copy button, and a line with their terms, for example 20% of every payment · 60-day cookie · 30-day hold. A date range picker sets the period for the rest of the page.
Links
Affiliates can create extra links that send visitors to a specific page, for example yourapp.com/pricing?via=sarah-pricing. Each link shows its Clicks, Sales and Earned.
New link asks for a Code and a Destination path on your site. A blank destination is the site root.
Changing a link's code or deleting a link stops the old link from earning straight away. Clicks and commissions it already brought in stay on the affiliate's account.
Commissions
A list of every commission with Date, Amount, Status, Link and Detail, with a tab for each status. The detail is written for the affiliate:
A commission whose link was deleted shows Deleted in the Link column.
Payouts
Three tiles show what is Pending, Payable and Paid. Below them, affiliates fill in Payout details: a method and one value, which you see in the Pay to column of your Payouts page.
- Until the details are filled in, the page warns them that you have nowhere to send their money, and the sidebar marks Payouts.
- Payment history lists each payment you marked paid, with its date, number of commissions and amount.
