Building an affiliate program with Podia is a great way to grow your online reach.

Sometimes, you might need to open, close, or stop your program based on different factors.

In this article, we’ll show you how to manage your affiliate program settings.

Managing your Affiliate's program settings

To manage your affiliate program's settings, click on Affiliates in the sidebar menu and navigate to the Settings option.


From the Settings page, you will see different options. Let's take a look at each one individually!

Availability

Availability options will allow you to configure how people join your affiliate program.

You can choose between three options:

  • Closed: No one can join or earn a commission.

  • Invite-only: Only existing and invited affiliates can earn a commission. New affiliates can only join through an invite.

  • Open: Both invited individuals and existing customers can earn a commission. With an open affiliate program, anyone can join.

Default commission

Set your default commission for each sale that’s referred by an affiliate.

If no product-specific commission is set, the default commission will be used when calculating affiliate sales.

You can choose between a percentage and a fixed amount.

Product-specific commissions

You can also set commissions for specific products. These will override the default commission rates for those particular products.

Click on "New commission" and select the product and commission % you'd like to set. You can repeat this process multiple times.

Attribution window

The affiliate attribution window is the time frame, in days, between when a customer clicks on an affiliate link and completes a signup.

Within this period, affiliates are eligible to earn a commission.

By default, this window is set to 15 days, but you can easily customize it to be shorter or longer if needed.

Simply enter a value between 1-90 days to change your affiliate's attribution window.

Exclude products

Prevent affiliates from seeing and referring customers to specific products.

Excluded products will be hidden from your affiliates’ dashboards and commissions will stop generating for those products.

FAQs

Can free lead magnets or free products be available for affiliate commissions?

It’s not possible to offer affiliate links for free products in Podia.

Affiliate tracking only works for paid products. If you want affiliates to promote something, it needs to be a paid offer.

Free lead magnets can’t be tracked or rewarded via the affiliate system.
