Follow the instructions below to enable a checkout item to be sold by an affiliate.
1. Navigate to your admin dashboard and click on Checkout Items and then View Checkout Items.
2. Click the pencil icon of an item in which you would like to enable affiliates to sell.
3. Scroll down the page and check the box that says Enable Affiliate Commissions.
4. Scroll down a little more and you should see a section that looks like the image below (we will reference the red areas below):
5. For the description (number 1 in the image above) add something that describes the product. This is what your affiliates will see as the product description when they go to retrieve their urls.
6. For the Type (number 2 in the image above) you can select Fixed Amount or Percentage.
Fixed Amount means the affiliate will make exactly the amount you put inside of the value (number 3 in the image above) field.
Percentage means the affiliate will make exactly the percentage you put inside of the value (number 3 in the image above) field of the initial order amount.
7. The Custom Commission area is optional and allows you to override the amounts you added from the previous step for an individual user. Just select the user and add the commission amounts you would like them to receive.
8. The level 2 commissions (number 5 in the image above) are optional. If you add them then any parent affiliates will get that. Typically they should be much smaller than the level 1 commission. If you are adding a custom commission then fill the section out and click the Add Custom Commission button.
9. Scroll to the bottom and save the page. Any affiliates should now see this program inside of their affiliate area.
