Affiliate FAQ

What is the first thing to set up?

Choose one product, one creator segment, a clear commission approach, and a simple tracking sheet or tool workflow.

How should sellers choose creators?

Use product relevance, audience fit, content quality, collaboration behavior, and commercial potential rather than follower count alone.

Should every creator get a sample?

No. Samples should be approved through consistent criteria, especially when product cost or shipping cost is meaningful.

How often should commissions be reviewed?

Review after each campaign batch and when product margin, inventory, creator tier, or market goals change.

Can tools automate all affiliate work?

Tools can reduce repetitive work, but teams still need judgment, compliance review, accurate offers, and creator relationship management.
