Affiliates

An affiliate is a partner who sends customers to your store - a blogger, a comparison site, a club. GrandNode remembers which affiliate a visitor came from and attributes their registration and orders to that affiliate, so you can pay a commission.

Create an affiliate

  1. Open Marketing → Affiliates and click Add new.
  2. Enter the partner's name, e-mail and address, tick Active, and optionally a Friendly URL name such as maya.
  3. Save. The page shows the affiliate's URL to give to the partner.
The Affiliates list with maya.bennett@affiliatepartner.example, first and last name and active flag
Marketing → Affiliates.

Any store address works as an affiliate link with one of these parameters added:

  • ?affiliateid=<id> - the affiliate's id;
  • ?affiliate=<friendly name> - the friendly URL name, e.g. https://yourstore.com/headphones?affiliate=maya.

The first affiliate a visitor arrives with is stored on their customer record; orders they place are marked with it.

Customers and orders of an affiliate

Open an affiliate to see the Customers and Orders tabs: everyone who came through them and what they bought, with filters by date and status - the basis for paying commission.
