Affiliates

Affiliate marketing consists of partnering up with a more established e-commerce entrepreneur in your niche and asking them to promote your products to their audience. In return, you’d give them a percentage of revenue from each sale they generate.

The affiliate program is a program where store owners invite affiliates to promote their products in exchange for a commission.

How does it work?

1. The affiliate is registered to the store.
2. Admin sends the affiliate referral link to the affiliate.
3. The affiliate promotes your store using the link.
4. A purchase is made on the store through the link.
5. Affiliate receives the commision as per defined in Affiliate ledger rule.

Affiliate referral link

Once an affiliate is added to your store, the admin can add the affiliate referral link for the affiliate. The added referral link will be displayed in the affiliate panel. The affiliate can start promoting your store using a unique URL generated. The key mentioned while adding an affiliate is unique for each affiliate, hence each affiliate has its own unique URL through which it can start promoting your store.

Example:

If an affiliate 'A' has a key 'uniquekey1' then the URL which he/she needs to promote your store to earn commission/revenue will be: http://yourstore.storehippo.com/?ref=uniquekey1

And similarly, if an affiliate 'B' has a key 'uniquekey2' then the URL which he/she needs to promote your store to earn commission/revenue will be: http://yourstore.storehippo.com/?ref=uniquekey2
