In affiliate marketing, tracking the performance of your partners is key. With Upfluence, you can generate a tracking script that links your website to the platform, allowing you to monitor sales generated by your affiliates.
- Linking the Website:
- The first step is to link your website to Upfluence. Once your website is connected, you can generate unique affiliate links that will track sales directly without needing discount codes.
- Sales Tracking without Discount Codes:
- This method eliminates the risk of discount codes being leaked while ensuring that you pay your affiliates the correct commission for every sale.

Chapter 2: Duplicating Campaigns and Setting Up Tracking Plans & Commissions
Once the tracking script is ready, you can create or duplicate a campaign and set up the affiliate tracking plan.
Duplicating a Campaign:
- If you already have a successful campaign, Upfluence allows you to duplicate it with ease. You can turn any existing campaign into an affiliate program with a few clicks, making campaign setup faster.
Creating a Tracking Plan:
- Go to your campaign settings to create a tracking plan. This generates unique affiliate links for each creator, linked to your website. These links allow you to monitor conversions and track performance in real time.
Setting Up Commission Structures:
- Next, define a default commission structure for all affiliates. For instance, you can set a 10% commission for each sale generated. You also have the option to offer different commissions to specific affiliates based on performance or partnership duration.
Duplicating campaigns and setting up tracking plans make launching new affiliate programs quick and easy while ensuring accurate sales tracking and commission distribution.

Chapter 3: Updating Campaign Briefs, Emails & Reviewing Commissions
Managing communication with affiliates and tracking their performance is crucial for maintaining successful partnerships. Upfluence allows you to update campaign briefs, customize emails, and review commissions easily.
Updating Campaign Brief & Emails:
- Start by updating your campaign brief to include the details of the new affiliate campaign. This brief should outline the goals, product details, and expectations for affiliates.
- Customize email templates to include affiliate links using the merge field feature. These emails will keep affiliates informed and guide them through the campaign process.
Email Workflow:
- The first email includes the application link for affiliates to join the campaign. The second email informs them that their product is on the way, while the final email requests their payment details after they have posted their content.
Reviewing Commissions in the Performance Tab:
- Once affiliates have posted their content and shared their links, you can head to the performance tab. Here, you’ll see all individual conversions as well as a total overview of the campaign’s ROI.
- This feature helps you track which affiliates are driving the most sales and how well the campaign is performing overall.
By keeping communication organized and tracking performance efficiently, you can ensure that your affiliate campaign runs smoothly and delivers results.
