Affiliate program: first run in two steps

The wizard asks how much you pay partners and who approves applications, and creates a draft terms page. Then you choose the rule for personal coupon codes.

The affiliate program turns a link and a code for every partner into a commission on real sales. The first run takes a few minutes.

Before you start

  • the percentage of the order amount (without VAT and shipping) you pay partners,
  • for personal coupon codes: a cart price rule with the coupon type "Specific Coupon" and "Use Auto Generation" ticked (for example 10 % off).
  1. Open Marketing › Affiliate program › Partners and click Set it up in two steps.
  2. In the first step choose a starting point (5 %, 10 % or 15 %) and whether you approve applications yourself (recommended) or automatically. Under Advanced you can change the minimum payout.
  3. In the second step leave the terms page ticked and click Finish. The page is disabled until a lawyer has checked it.
  4. Open Stores › Configuration › Magelan › Affiliate Program, choose a cart price rule under Partner coupon rule and save.

Try it

Add a partner (Add partner, the e-mail of a customer who has an account), approve them, open a store page with ?ref=code and place a test order. A row in the state "Pending" appears under Commissions.

The terms text is a general draft. A lawyer must check it before you publish it. The module gives no legal or tax advice.
