Create an Affiliate Campaign

A campaign defines what affiliates promote, how they are rewarded and who takes part. This walkthrough covers the full builder from first click to publishing.

Build the Campaign

1. Go to Marketing > Affiliate Manager > Campaigns and click + Add.
2. Pick the source: a funnel, website, store or external site for product sales, or a form, survey or calendar for lead-based campaigns.
3. Choose the landing page visitors should reach. Tracking applies to the whole source, not only that page. Vendi Today generates a campaign URL where the affiliate ID placeholder is swapped for each affiliate's own ID.
4. Review the product list and remove anything that should not earn commission.
5. On the Commissions step, enter the default commission as a flat amount or percentage. Optionally set different rates per product.
6. Open Advanced commission settings if you want multiple tiers (up to seven).
7. Add a description that explains the offer to prospective affiliates.
8. Optionally assign affiliates right away.
9. Adjust additional settings: invite email template, cookie duration, payout terms, whether setup fees count toward commission, sub-affiliate sign-up and auto-enrollment of customers.
10. Click Publish, or save as a draft to finish later.

Change the Source Later

You can swap the source of a published campaign, for example if the original funnel was deleted. Past data and other settings stay intact, but the referral URL changes. The old link stops tracking immediately, so tell your affiliates to replace it everywhere it is posted.

If the Campaign Will Not Go Live

A campaign saves as paused when Stripe is not connected or no affiliates are assigned yet. Resolve these and publish again.

Good to know: Do not attach the same product to several campaigns, or your sales numbers will be skewed.
