Hi @Arsalan007 ,

An affiliate program is a marketing strategy where affiliates promote your product in exchange for a reward or compensation.

You can increase traffic and sales, and the affiliates get rewarded based on their performance.

Who are affiliates?

Affiliates are anyone promoting your store. This can be big or small - affiliates don’t need to have millions of followers to create revenue for you!

Affiliates are also sometimes called ambassadors, brand ambassadors or partners.

They can advertise your product wherever their following is - Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok or anywhere else they have a following.

Remember small affiliates can perform very well - their following is usually more close-knit and their followers typically trust them more.

Should you use affiliate marketing?

Almost all businesses can benefit from affiliate marketing!

Affiliate marketing is great because you pay when you get results.

Unlike paid ads, where you pay for views and clicks, but not revenue.

It also allows your top customers to start getting rewarded for being loyal promoters.
