The short answer
An affiliate program pays partners or customers for the leads and sales they send you. With the affiliate manager in Oceanic Funnels OS, you create a campaign, choose pay-per-lead or pay-per-sale commissions (flat, percentage or recurring), and enrol affiliates, who each get tracking links and an affiliate portal showing their leads, customers, commissions and payouts. You approve commissions and pay through PayPal or manually.
Affiliate vs referral program
- Affiliates: partners, influencers or other businesses who promote you to their audience.
- Referrals: happy customers who send friends.
The same system handles both; only the reward changes.
Choose your commission model
- Pay per lead: reward form submissions, surveys or bookings. Good for service businesses.
- Pay per sale: a flat amount or a percentage of the sale.
- Recurring: a share of every subscription payment. Good for memberships and courses.
Set it up
- Create a campaign and choose its source: the funnel, form, calendar or product it tracks.
- Set the commission model and amounts.
- Enrol affiliates. Each gets campaign-specific tracking links.
- Affiliates log in to their portal to get links and see leads, customers, commissions and payouts.
- Review and approve commissions, then pay through PayPal automatically or manually by bank transfer or another method.
Tips
- Make the reward easy to understand.
- Give affiliates ready-made posts, emails and images.
- Ask happy customers right after a great result, the same moment you'd ask for a review.
