An Affiliate Link offers the Affiliate the opportunity to earn commissions by promoting Vendor products or services on CopeCart. This special link contains a unique identifier that allows the Vendor to identify the Affiliate and track its sales. This opens up the opportunity for the affiliate to generate passive income, as they are compensated for each referred sale. In addition, the affiliate link can help the vendor expand its own reach and target potential customers that the affiliate reaches.
The CopeCart Affiliate Link
A CopeCart affiliate link looks like this:
The items "PRODUCT ID" and "AFFILIATE USERNAME" have to be replaced with the unique CopeCart product ID and your unique affiliate username.
Tip: You will receive the "PRODUCT ID" on request from the respective vendor. As an affiliate you can find your "AFFILIATEUSERNAME" under "Settings" -> "Account Settings" -> "Username".
Get the affiliate link
Option 1: Create link through the marketplace
In the 'Marketplace' section of your CopeCart account, you can search for products offered by vendors as an affiliate. You can then promote and sell them.
Open the CopeCart marketplace.
Click on "Promote" for a product that you would like to promote.
Copy the affiliate link.
Please note that if the vendor manually accepts affiliate requests, you will need to wait for confirmation before you receive your affiliate link.

Option 2: Create a link manually in coordination with the vendor
Vendors can add an affiliate program directly when creating a product.
To do this, they need to set a commission or amount and enter the appropriate affiliate username in the 'Affiliate ID' field.
Tip: As an affiliate, you can find your "Affiliate ID" under "Settings" -> "Account Settings" -> "Username".
The vendor will send you this link afterwards, which you can use at your own discretion. If you make a sale via this affiliate link, you will receive the corresponding commission as an affiliate.
