How an Affiliate Campaign Works
This guide explains how an affiliate campaign works from start to finish in Jaka — from creating a campaign to paying affiliates.
ℹ️ What Is an Affiliate Campaign?
An affiliate campaign defines:
Which products affiliates can promote
How commissions are calculated
How sales are tracked and rewarded
🔄 Flow
Here’s how everything works together:
You create an affiliate campaign
Affiliates join your program
Affiliates share referral links
Customers make purchases
Sales are tracked automatically
Commissions are calculated
You approve and pay affiliates
You start by creating an affiliate campaign in Jaka.
In this step, you define:
Campaign name
Eligible products or collections
Commission rules (percentage or fixed amount)
This determines what affiliates promote and how they earn.
Note: Activate app embed on the theme

Affiliates can join your program by:
Applying through your affiliate signup page
Being created manually by you
Once approved, affiliates get access to the Affiliate Portal.
Inside the Affiliate Portal, affiliates:
Get unique referral links
Choose products to promote
Share links on social media, blogs, or ads
Each link is unique and used for tracking.
🛒 Step 4: Customers Make a Purchase
When a customer:
Clicks an affiliate link
Visits your store
Completes a purchase
The system records this as an affiliate order.
📊 Step 5: Tracking & Commission Calculation
Jaka automatically:
Tracks the referral using cookies
Attributes the sale to the correct affiliate
Calculates commission based on campaign rules
💰 Step 6: Approve & Pay Affiliates
After sales are recorded:
You review affiliate sales
Approve commissions
Pay affiliates based on your payout process
You stay in full control of approvals and payments.
🧩 Where Affiliates Manage Their Activity
Affiliates use the Affiliate Portal to:
Track their sales and commissions
View payout status
Access creatives and referral links
This reduces support work for merchants.
