Quick Setup

Quick Setup

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 set up 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.

Setting up commissions on your products

By default, the app sets up a 10% commission on all your products. This means that when your customer makes a purchase using an affiliate's referral, they get 10% of the order value. To change the commission rate,

In the GoAffPro admin panel, select the Commissions option in the sidebar.

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.

Letting your site visitors know you have an affiliate program

You can take multiple approaches to let your visitors be aware of your affiliate program. Below we will describe two methods.

• Menu Link in Header or Footer Menu

• Custom Page with your program details

Menu Link in Header or Footer

Having a link in your shop's header (top) or footer (bottom) menu allows for quick access to the affiliate program to your site's visitors/customers. To create menu link in Shopify
