3. Warning in the affiliate’s Dashboard about earnings being subject to change

This is a small change that represents a big aid for your peace of mind. In our experience, there have been many times that an affiliate appears wondering about earnings stating that they had unpaid earnings that appeared to be gone or even going negative. All caused by a classic misunderstanding that is definitely part of the affiliate marketing process: if the order they referred got cancelled or refunded then the referral becomes unsuccessful and it cannot be paid.
Because, there’s no business in paying commissions for a sale that ended up never being successful, right?

We all understand that it makes sense but we also aim to lower both the affiliate and you the odds of falling into this misunderstanding so we added a really comprehensive disclaimer for them to be aware of that ultra important rule of the game:

disclaimer on earnings

This also performs very well along with the contact button we recently added for the affiliates to communicate with you quickly!

4. Start of the beta tests for the upcoming dashboard design

Yes! It’s happening! We’ve invested so much time into giving you stability, efficiency and tons of configurability, but we finally reached that desired moment where we’re also renewing our internal looks. We can’t say much yet about it because there’s so much to do. But for those who the first looks of this new phase of the design is enabled, it will be under Settings -> Customization -> Design version

We hope that this update helps reaffirming once again our commitment with adding value to your business.

If you wish to try the new design, please reach out to our support team and we will enable the new design for your account (you can revert back to the classic one at any time).

Thank you for reading and if in any case you need help with Affiliatly our wonderful support team is waiting to read your message.

    • Hi Alexandra, You would need a separate account for each store but we would offer a 50% discount for each store account after the first store. To see if the integration with insales.ru works, we kindly ask you to open a ticket with their support, asking the following:

      1. Can this code be added to the footer of the site/store?

      AF-10XXX must be replaced with your actual Affiliatly Account ID.

      2. Can this code be added to the page where the order is made and paid (i.e. ‘Thank You’ or ‘Checkout’ page)?

      The following parameters need to be replaced with the actual order data:
      ‘##YOUR-ORDER-ID##’ = unique order ID of the order (to prevent fake commission for affiliates)
      ‘##YOUR-ORDER-PRICE##’ = amount of the order, without currency symbol (to calculate the affiliates’ commission)
      ‘##YOUR-ORDER-USED-COUPON##’ (optional) = only needed if you want to use our coupon tracking method
