An individual or a company that markets a product to potential customers. The Affiliate receives a commission on a specific action (also called event: e.g., sale, lead, click, visit etc.) previously agreed upon with you, the advertiser. Each action is tracked via a unique tracking link from Partnerize.
An affiliate is also called a publisher. Center. If you choose to continue using the Affiliate Center to manage your affiliates, you are responsible for paying them out based on the performance reports generated by the Cleverbridge platform.
If you no longer want to handle affiliate payouts yourself, ask us about upgrading to Partnerize, our newest performance marketing solution.

This can be changed for individual affiliates in the Affiliate portal of the Commerce Assistant by selecting a new commission configuration in the affiliate's record. For information about setting up a commission configuration, see About Commission Configurations.
To define a default commission configuration, select Channel Management > Affiliate Center Setup > General in the Commerce Assistant main menu. Click the
