# Setup

{% hint style="info" %}
The extension is installed as usual via the Shopware Community Store or by uploading the ZIP file to the plugins folder.
{% endhint %}

After installing the extension, we recommend to first carry out the [basic configurations](https://docs.codegiganten.de/plugin-documentation/en/apps/affiliate-marketing/configuration/basic-configuration): Here, for example, you can select after how many days an affiliate can request the payment of their commission or which URL parameter should be used for affiliate links.&#x20;

We recommend that you then create your first affiliate product groups in which you define those products that will be available for your Affiliate-Marketing program as well as their provision/commission rates.

For test purposes, you can now register an affiliate and familiarize yourself with how your affiliates are going to use and see the system. We propose, you also place a test order to get a broader idea of how everything works.
