How regular Affiliate Program works?
New affiliate is registered
Affiliate gets his tools (text link, banner etc.) and places the advertisement on his website
Visitor comes to affiliate’s website and clicks on the advertisement
After click visitor redirected to merchant’s website (at this moment the affiliate program software tracks that click and makes the proper record in its database)
Once visitor decided to make a purchase he clicks on the ‘buy’ button (now the affiliate program makes another note in database)
Once the purchase is complete the system pay the commission to the affiliate
