Default Settings

Show Affiliate Partners Area in this Sales Channel

In the default settings you can determine whether your affiliate partners area should or should not be displayed in the respective sales channel. If this option is activated, the navigation point "Affiliate Programme" will be displayed in the customer area of your online shop.

Allow Applications from New Affiliate Partners

Use this option to determine whether new affiliate applications should be permitted or not. If this option is deactivated, only logged-in affiliates can see the menu item "Affiliate Programme". Affiliates can still be added manually by a shop operator.

URL-Parameter for Affiliate-Links

This is where you define the basic structure of affiliate links. By default, affiliate links look like this:

https://demo.shop?affiliateCode=SAMPLECODE

• Domain of the online shop: demo.shop

• (Unique) URL parameter: affiliateCode

• Personal affiliate code: SAMPLECODE

The entry made in the configuration text field determines the part marked in blue (URL parameter) of an affiliate link. This has no effect on the functionality of the extension, but serves the purpose of individualisation. By default, the value affiliateCode is always valid even if the URL parameter is adjusted. Note, however, that links with an individual URL parameter will expire if a new URL parameter name is set: Only the affiliateCode parameter always remains valid regardless of the configuration value set here.

The Number of Days after which the Credit Balance Can Be Paid Out

This setting allows you to define the number of days after which an affiliate can have a commission paid out. This is helpful if you want to prevent commissions from being paid out for cancelled orders. In general, transactions are only then cashable if the number of days set here has elapsed and if the affiliate transaction status is completed. To find out how to activate synchronisations and thus automatic cancellations and the release of commissions based on the order status go to "Synchronisations".

The Minimum Amount of Money an Affiliate Must Reach for Own Payouts

You can define the minimum credit balance an affiliate must reach in order to be able to request a payout in their personal affiliate area. Shop operators can carry out a payment for the affiliate at any time regardless of the value set here, simply by creating a new transaction.

The First Affiliate Who has Recruited a Customer Shall Permanently Receive the Commission for Each of Their Order.

When this option is activated, the commission for an advertised order of a customer is permanently bound to their respective affiliate. If, for example, a customer places an order after entering the online shop using an affiliate link, the advertising affiliate will receive a commission for all further orders placed by this customer. Please note that permanent affiliates are only registered after this option has been activated. You can also manually set, change or remove permanent affiliates for each customer in the administration area of your shop.
