on the top right of your screen, select Administration → Advanced Features → Partner Programs, and toggle the switch on. - Partners will appear in your main navigation across the top of your screen. Hover over it and click Settings → Global Settings. Configure your settings:
- Indicate how partners will be paid (PayPal, check or their choice).
- Decide on a pay threshold, which is the amount of commissions that must accrue before you pay the partner.
- Select whether you wish your commission to be paid to the first or last referrer.
- Select when cookies expire. Cookies are used to track people who click on links. If a potential referred lead clicks on a partner’s link, it’ll cookie the lead in their browser for the amount of time you set here. That means that if the lead fills out the form or makes a purchase during that time, the credit will be given to your partner; if the lead completes these steps after the cookie expiration, there is no way to track which partner should get credit for the sale.
- Click Save.
