Description Affiliate System and Partner Program / Affiliate
Affiliate systems are internet-based sales solutions, where usually a company/merchant compensates its sales partner with a commission. On the Internet, such an affiliate program often means that a webmaster places affiliate advertising on his highly visited site. If a click on the ad results in a contract, website visit or other type of “lead”, the webmaster receives the previously agreed commission. Other affiliate channels are also conceivable, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.
Affiliate systems can also mean that the distributor not only advertises the product on his website, but also offers it for sale. In this case, the affiliate is paid a revenue share instead of a referral commission by the operator of the affiliate program. The payment to affiliates can sometimes be very time-consuming and can be supported and automated by an advanced payment service provider.
