What’s affiliate marketing?


Affiliate marketing (sometimes called referral marketing or influencer marketing) is a sales and marketing strategy where you, the merchant or store owner, encourage your customers, media partners, and brand advocates to refer new business to you in exchange for a reward when that referral leads to a sale.

Turn your customers into affiliates

Prevent self-referrals

Automatically accept or reject commission payouts on affiliate self-referrals, or choose to review each affiliate self-referral individually before deciding how to handle it.

Link builder

Create custom tracking links that don’t generate commission so you can track the success of your own marketing efforts.

Live chat

Talk to a real person in real-time using our live chat, which is also available to help support your affiliates.

Referral review period
