How to Get Started with Refersion

\n\n\n\n

First things first:  affiliate marketing 101. Before you launch your first campaign, make sure you know the basics of affiliate marketing, understanding common mistakes, useful affiliate marketing KPIs, and how to attract new affiliates. Here are the next steps to take once you’ve mastered the ABCs:

\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Connect Refersion with Your Store — The first thing you need to do to kickstart your affiliate journey is to connect Refersion with your eCommerce store. We seamlessly integrate with Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Chargebee, BigCommerce, and our own API integration, which takes just a few minutes to set up. You can also sync popular tools like Klaviyo, ReCharge, and Stripe.
    2. \n
  2. Create an Offer — Now it’s time to throw your hat in the ring! Refersion allows you to implement three different commission structures — percentage of sale, flat rate, and tiered — to appeal to a wide variety of affiliates and to suit your specific campaign goals. You’ll also set your cookie day — the length of time a visitor has to purchase after clicking the link in order to credit the affiliate — which is usually around 30 days but can go as long as two years.
    3. \n
  3. Invite Your Affiliates — Once you’ve got your offer squared away, it’s time to invite affiliates. We make this process easy by providing you with a unique share URL, which you can e-mail to your affiliates or embed as a form on your website. You can also use our excellent affiliate recruitment tools to discover brand-new affiliates and find opportunities that closely align with your marketing goals.
    4. \n
  4. Track Your Conversions — Throughout the process, you’ll be able to track your data via certain conversion triggers, including links, coupon codes, and e-mails. Each affiliate has its own unique link with your domain, followed by the affiliate’s tracking parameters, which is used to track where visitors are coming from. Credit can also be issued when the affiliate’s unique coupon code is used or when they click from e-mail or through one of our embeddable banner ads.
    5. \n
