Running Affiliate Campaigns on External Websites
You can now run affiliate campaigns that track sales on any external website, not just those built within the CRM. This allows your affiliates to promote and sell your products anywhere on the web, significantly expanding your marketing reach.
Key Features
- External Website Support: Add your external website URL to create an affiliate tracking link for that domain.
- Universal Tracking: A single affiliate link can track sales across your entire website, including any subdomains.
- Product-Based Commissions: Set custom commission rates for specific products, or use default commission settings for all items.
- Recurring Subscriptions: The system automatically tracks upgrades, downgrades, and recurring payments, ensuring affiliates earn commissions on all eligible transactions.
How to Set Up an External Website Affiliate Campaign
- Navigate to the Affiliate Manager and open the Campaigns tab.
- Click the +Add button to create a new campaign.
- Choose "External Website" as the campaign source.
- Enter the URL of your external website. This will generate the base affiliate tracking link.
- Configure your commission settings. You can set a default commission for all products or define specific commissions for individual products.
- If using product-specific commissions, add the products in the first step of the configuration process.
- Add the provided tracking script to your external website.
- Publish the campaign so your affiliates can begin using the links.
Important Considerations
- This feature currently only supports tracking sales for products processed through Stripe.
- Commissions for one-time purchase products will always use the default commission settings configured for the campaign.
- For recurring subscription products, you can set customized commission rates.
- To exclude a specific product from earning commissions, add it to the product list and set its commission rate to 0%.
