Commissin settings in Post Affiliate Pro can be grouped in unlimited number of product categories (or campaigns).
It is good idea to create product category for sets of products with similar commissions. Every campaign can have its own commission types and level of commissions, you can have for example one Per click campaign and another Per sale campaign.
When you create a campaign you specify which commission type it uses (from the ones allowed in Settings) and for every commission type you specify the commissions level (fixed or percentage) together with possible multi tier commissions.
Campaign can supportcombination of these commission types:
  • CPM
  • Per click
  • Per sale
  • Per lead
  • Affiliates can see the campaigns in their own control panel with all the commission settings and banners that belong to the campaign. This way they can choose which campaigns they want to promote. You can create unlimited number of banners or links for every campaign.
    When creating a banner or link you should specify its destination URL (where the banner is pointing) and text of link or image file.
    For advanced Flash or HTML banners you can directly write HTML code.
    In Banners/Links screen you can see all the created banners with their statistics of impressions, clicks and CTR.
    You can easily filter the statistics per affiliate or time period. This helps you to determine the best performing banners.
    Affiliates also see the banners in their control panel. For every banner or lnk they will also see the special HTML code which they should put onto their web pages. This code will display the selected banner to the visitor and properly track the impressions, clicks and referrals.
    For affiliates, placing banner onto their page is only Copy & Paste the code.
    The results of clicks and referrals are visible in Transactions screen. Each transaction is identified by its campaign (product category). Also date, IP address and referrer of the visitor is logged for every transaction.
