The key is to have the right configuration for your business and its goals

FAQ:
When should I create multiple campaigns?
The affiliate manager creates multiple campaigns when you have different:
- The landing page your affiliate’s users will visit
- Product on which the commission would be applicable on
- Affiliates who will promote the product
- Affiliate commission percentages
- Affiliate payout frequency
Example: You set up two campaigns, one for your regular affiliates who will receive a commission of 20% per sale, and another campaign for your influencers who will receive a 30% commission per sale.
Can an affiliate be part of multiple campaigns?
Yes, an affiliate can be part of multiple campaigns and each campaign will provide a unique affiliate link to the affiliates. Make sure when setting up the products that you don’t link the same product across multiple campaigns as this will skew your numbers.
My Affiliate Campaign won’t publish. What can I do?
The green color indicates that the campaign is ‘Live‘ and the red color indicates that the campaign is ‘Paused‘ (see the image above).
A campaign gets created in a paused state if
- Stripe is not connected
- Affiliates are not added
Where can I find my affiliate Links for each campaign?
The email goes out to the email address of the affiliate once a campaign is live. The other way to pull the affiliate link is to go to the Affiliate -> Click on the affiliate in question-> Click on the campaign dropdown -> Select the campaign -> You’ll find the affiliate link located to the right of the campaign
