How to set up your own affiliate program

On this page, you will learn how to set up your own affiliate program.

What you will need:

Through your own affiliate program, you can make your promoters benefit from commissions, in exchange for the promotion of your products. 

Preamble 

Much like the Affiliate Program offered by systeme.io, you can also create your own affiliate program similar to the one of systeme.io, but with your own conditions. 

How does it work? 

You will find a default configuration in your systeme.io account, which is the one used in the systeme.io affiliate program.

Default setting

In order to view the affiliate program settings, you need to go to:  Menu >> Settings >>  Affiliate program settings.

The configuration setup is equivalent to the following points:

1. Default commission (%):

  • 50 % 

2. Minimum payout amount:

  • 30.00 (depending on the country's currency)

3. Default payout delay:

  • 30 (days)

4. Second-tier affiliate commissions (%):

  • 0

Default settings and conditions of systeme.io affiliate commissions are as follows:
  • You get 50% on the number of sales
  • Commissions will be paid to you after accumulating a minimum of $30.00 (or other currency)
  • They are paid after 30 days from the date of purchase by the customer, and there is a 0% commission for the second level.  

Note: Commissions are paid (affiliate invoices are generated) on the 10th of every month. 

Setting up your affiliate program

On the same model but with your own conditions, you can set up your affiliate program.
It is essential to fill in all four fields in order to validate your affiliate program.
Please note that the points, "2. Minimum amount for payment of affiliate commissions" and "4. Second tier affiliate commissions" set up from the Affiliate program settings, apply immediately on all your payment pages.
Except for the points, "1. Default percentage commissions (%)" and " 3. Default payment period for affiliate commissions", the settings can be changed for each order form page.

Changing the settings from the "Affiliate Program Settings" section 

1. Default commissions (%): you can choose the percentage amount you want to give to your affiliates, this amount will be related to a fee you have to pay to reward them for promoting your offer
Example: If the price of your offer is $ 22.5 without VAT and you have set a commission percentage of 40%, your affiliates will earn  $ 9 commission for each sale.
2. Minimum payout amount: This setting is used to set a minimum amount to start paying commissions, so you can avoid generating invoices with a low amount, so if you set a minimum amount of  $ 50, your affiliates must absolutely have  $ 50 pending or more so that an invoice can be generated, and you can pay them.
3. Default payout delay: This setting allows you to set a delay before each sale can be paid, this usually avoids paying commissions for an offer that has a money-back guarantee, so we suggest our users take this setting into account so that it matches your terms and conditions.
4. Second tier affiliate commissions ( % ): This setting allows you to set a percentage of commission you want to give to the main affiliate, so when your affiliates' referrals make affiliate sales of your offer, the main affiliate will get his part which will be the percentage you set for second tier commissions.
Let's say you have configured a second-tier commission percentage of 5%.
Example: 
Affiliate A promotes your offer which is $80.83, customer A subscribes to it through his affiliate link, so affiliate A will get 40% commission that you have configured in field 1, which is "Default commission", which is $32.33
If afterwards customer A becomes your affiliate and start to promote your offers and get a sale, customer B subscribes through his affiliate link, in this case customer A, becomes affiliate B, so he will earn a 40% commission configured on field 1, which is "Default commissions", which is $32.33 
Therefore, since affiliate A is the referral of affiliate B, he will get a second tier commission, the one configured in field 4, which is " Commissions to second tier affiliates (in percentage)'' and whose commission percentage is 5%, which is  $ 4.40
Note: This is a lifetime affiliation, the contacts that are sent by affiliates and their referrals are marked in the database with their affiliate ID, so even if the contacts sent buy in 6 months or 1 year, they will receive their commissions.

Changing Settings from your order form page:

Go to your funnel, then to the "Order form" page, click on "Settings" (see image below).

  • Point 1: You can change the amount of commission for the Product on the Sales Page of your choice. 
  • Point 2: You can change the payment period for affiliate commissions. 
Don't forget to  save your changes from the green icon containing a floppy disk. 

Prevent the promotion of a Page:

It is also possible to not offer a commission on a sales funnel, for this you would need to set up a "0%" affiliate commission on your payment page.
