Prepare the product and program rules
The program supports courses and e-books linked to an organization. Prepare the product, sales page, and at least one active offer so affiliates have promotional and checkout links available.
Set the commission and agree on materials, promotional practices, and support with each person. The platform records attribution and commissions.
Choose First click or Last click and the attribution window. These rules affect newly attributed orders. The program works by invitation, accepted using the same email provided by the organization.
Enable the program and send invitations
- Open the product, enter Affiliates, and enable Program active. Enter the Default commission within the range accepted by the form.
- Choose First click or Last click Attribution and configure the required Window. Review the rules and select Save.
- In Invitations, select Invite and enter the person’s email. If needed, set a custom commission for that affiliation.
- Ask the person to accept using an account with the same email. The invitation is valid for seven days and can be resent from the management area.
- After accepting, the affiliate finds Your links in My affiliations. Check that an active offer exists to generate sales-page and checkout links.
- Track Clicks, Unique visitors, Paid sales, and commissions. To pay out available amounts, open the organization’s Affiliates, create a batch, and review its CSV.
Check attribution and balances
Check that the invitation was accepted and the affiliation is active. Open an affiliate link to review the indicated product and offer. Valid clicks and paid sales have different meanings in the report.
To check a transaction with attribution, use a test or sandbox flow supported by the provider and configured for that purpose. Production checkout can create a real charge. After confirmation, check the order and attributed commission.
Commissions become available seven days after payment. Review balances by currency and any fee, refund, or dispute adjustments before preparing a batch.
Make and confirm payouts manually
The organization makes the payout outside Membree. A batch reserves available entries, allows CSV export, and records confirmation of the external payment. Only the owner can create, cancel, or confirm these payments.
Use Confirm external payment only after making the payout. Enter the corresponding date and reference. A completed payment confirmation is immutable; check the details before saving.
Suspending an affiliation blocks new attribution without deleting its history or balance. Commission changes apply to new orders while preserving information on orders already created.
Members of an organization cannot accept its affiliate invitations. The program is not an open recruiting marketplace and does not automatically transfer commissions to affiliates.
Frequently asked questions

When does a commission become available for payout?

Can an affiliate accept with a different email?
Acceptance requires an account with the same email provided in the invitation. Invitations are valid for seven days, and organization members cannot become its affiliates.
