The app comes with default settings and can be used as-is, we highly recommend you go through the basic set up. There are 3 steps to it,

1. Decide and setup how much commission you want to give your affiliates.

2. Let your site visitors know you have an affiliate program.

3. Promote your affiliate program over your brand's Facebook page or Instagram feed.

In the Default Commission, click on the Change option at the bottom of the commission value.

Input your new commission and click on the Save button.
