Affiliate marketing in plain words.
An affiliate program is a way to sell through recommendations. You give partners special links to your store. When someone buys through that link, the partner earns a commission and you see the cost of sale.
1. Set the rules
Choose the commission and products.
A simple model is enough to start: for example 8% of sales or a fixed amount per order. You do not need a complex strategy on day one.
2. Invite partners
Creators, customers or an agency.
Partners receive their own links. They can promote your store in social media, newsletters, blogs or performance campaigns.
3. Pay for results
Pay for real conversions.
The system collects clicks, sales, commissions and settlement statuses. You see what works, who should settle the commission and which recommendations need review.
Process
You do not need affiliate experience to start properly.
Linkolino guides you through the core process: from the program and links to sales and commission settlement. Advanced settings can be enabled only when you need them.
Create an offer for partners
Describe what can be promoted and how much commission is paid for a sale.
Partners promote your store with links
Each link is assigned to a specific person or campaign.
The system recognizes the sale
After purchase, you see which partner helped win the customer.
Settle the commission
You get a summary of amounts, statuses and settlement responsibility, so you do not calculate it manually.
What you get at the start
Start simple, then add advanced control.
Program without spreadsheets
You set the program rules, while the system organizes partners, links and results.
Visible cost of sale
You see commission next to every conversion, making profitability easier to control.
Partner panel
Affiliates collect links, check statistics and see their earnings on their own.
Settlements and documents
The system shows payable commissions, Linkolino fees and settlement statuses, while payments can stay with the merchant or agency.
Agency support
If you do not want to run the program yourself, an agency can manage clients and affiliates.
Admin panel
The operations team gets queues for users, programs, conversions, external settlements and documents.
For advanced teams
When the program grows, technical and operational tools are ready.
This layer is for teams already thinking about attribution, integrations, settlement statuses and handling many partners or clients.
Postback API and webhooks
Register sales through API, Shopify or Stripe and store sub-tracking data.
Conversion statuses
Handle pending, approved, rejected, payable, paid externally and refunded without manual process tracking.
Holding period
Hold commission until the return or manual review period is over.
Optional self-billing and audit
Documents, settlement statuses and admin actions are visible in one place. Self-billing is used only for enabled payout flows.
Team demo
You can enter as every role.
If you are new to affiliate marketing, start with the merchant account and see what a sample store program looks like. If you are more technical, check admin, API docs and conversion statuses. All demo accounts use the password 123456789.
FAQ
Common questions before launch.
I have not used affiliate marketing before. Where should I start? ⌄
The simplest way is to start with one program, one commission rate and a few trusted partners. Linkolino shows clicks, sales and settlement amounts, so you do not build the process from scratch.
Do I need to understand technical terms like postback and tracking? ⌄
Not at the beginning. Think of it simply: a partner gets a link, a customer buys, the system attributes the sale. API and postback are for teams that want deeper integration.
Does an affiliate need to run a company? ⌄
Not necessarily. Linkolino can keep records for individuals and businesses, while the merchant or agency remains responsible for the legal payout basis in the default external settlement model.
Can an agency run a program for a store? ⌄
Yes. The agency panel includes clients, programs, team, branding and its own commission settings.
Is the project tested? ⌄
Yes. The project is developed according to TDD, and the current regression suite includes 404 tests.
