Last updated 10 months ago

Creating affiliates is easy, you only need the email and lightning address of the affiliate to start incentivizing them to share your project.

Why add Affiliates?

Affiliates aligns incentives between creators, who want to increase funding for their projects, and sharers, who can increase the reach of projects.

Through the automated affiliate payouts, sharers can feel incentivized to use their network to extend the reach of projects and monetize from it.

Affiliates will power up project sharing by aligning incentives of creators and sharers

Functionalities

  • Set affiliate ID link: the creator can define the link Id "?refid=mark"

  • Automatic payout: as soon as a referred contribution goes through, the affiliate fee is applied and the affiliate will receive their payout.

  • Email (coming soon): the affiiliate will receive an email for every affiliate payout.

  3. Once the affiliate has been created, you can share the Referral link with your affiliate, so they can start sharing
