Your affiliate programme

Course Settings → Affiliates lets other people earn a share for selling your course. They share a link or code; you decide what a sale pays them. The commission comes out of your 70%, so it costs ACADA nothing.

What's on it

Affiliate programme

The switch. It takes effect on the next new sale.

Commission

Above 0% and at most 50% of what the buyer pays, on that sale and every renewal.

Buyer discount

0% to 15% off for a buyer who arrives through an affiliate. It comes off before the split.

What a Sale Pays, What It Costs You

One sale at your cheapest tier, with and without an affiliate.

Who Can Earn It

Anyone who has joined the affiliate programme, except you and your collaborators. Nobody needs approving.

An example

Take a $100 course with a 20% commission and no buyer discount. We keep $30, as on any sale, the affiliate earns $20, and you keep $50 instead of $70. A 10% buyer discount makes it a $90 sale: $27, $18 and $45.

Rules and limits

• The commission and your collaborators' shares together never pass 65% of a sale. Switching the programme on fits the commission into what is left.
• A sale keeps the rate it was made at, renewals included.
• Switching off, unpublishing, retiring, a moderation hide or a copyright hold stops new attributions. An unlisting does not.
• A free course earns affiliates nothing until it has a price.

If something goes wrong

"Collaborators on this course already take…"

There is no room left for a commission until a collaborator's share comes down.

"Could not save the affiliate programme."

Nothing was saved. Try again.
