Transcript

Your partners only earn commissions on products you've added to their partner program. Any product that isn't in a program pays no commission. So you decide exactly what your partners get paid on. You may not want to pay commissions on everything you sell. Some products may not have the margin to support a commission. Or during a launch, you might only want to pay partners on the product you're launching. You can add as many products as you like to a program, and the same product can be in more than one program. First, you'll need a partner program, which we set up in the last lesson. Click Partners in the top navigation, then click your program's name. On the Partner program information tab, scroll down to the Commissionable products section and click New Partner Product. Choose your product from the Product dropdown, or click New Product to create one. Then pick the Type. A percentage pays a share of the sale. A flat rate pays the same amount every time. Level 1 Commission is what a partner earns when someone they referred buys this product. For example, you might enter 15 percent. Level 2 Commission is for 2 Tier programs. It's usually a smaller commission, paid when someone a partner referred becomes a partner and then makes a sale. Click Save, and repeat for each product you want partners to earn on. When you create promo tools, point them at the order page or opt-in form for a commissionable product. Ontraport tracks referrals on its own forms automatically. If your checkout isn't hosted by Ontraport, add the partner tracking pixel to your checkout confirmation page. So: add each product you want to pay on, choose a percentage or a flat rate, and set your Level 1 and Level 2 commissions. Next up, we'll sign up partners for your program.
