Incentives are reusable reward templates that motivate your affiliates to promote your products. Instead of setting up the same commission structure multiple times, you create it once and apply it to multiple groups or individual partners as needed.

How to Create Incentives

  1. Go to your Groups & Rewards settings
  2. Select the affiliate group you want to add an incentive to
  3. Click "Add Incentive" for that group
  4. Choose products: Select which products/plans trigger this incentive (monthly plans, yearly plans, one-time products, or specific products)
  5. Set incentive details:
    • Enter incentive name (e.g. "20% recurring commission")
    • Choose type: Fixed Amount, Percentage, Credits, or Free Months
    • Set the rate/value
  6. Configure payout conditions: Lifetime, time-limited, or payment-limited
  7. Set approval settings: Immediate, hold period, or manual review
  8. Create the incentive

Types of Incentives Available

  • Fixed Amount: Set dollar amount per sale (e.g. $20 per conversion)
  • Percentage: Commission based on sale value (e.g. 10% of sale)
  • Credits: Reward with product credits (e.g. 10 credits per referral)
  • Free Months: Grant free service months (e.g. 1 free month)

What Happens After Creation

The incentive becomes active immediately and applies to new referrals that match your product criteria. You can use the same incentive template across multiple groups, modify it for different scenarios, or create individual overrides for specific affiliates.
