Affiliates
Pay people a commission for sales they send to your store, or earn one yourself.
An affiliate is someone who promotes your store and earns a share of each sale they send you. They share a link, or a discount code tied to them, and when a buyer pays, the sale is credited to them at the rate you agreed.
There are three sides to this in Sorai:
- Your store's program. You open a program, approve or invite affiliates, and pay them what they earn. You find it under Affiliates in the sidebar. It needs the Pro or Business plan.
- Promoting someone else's shop. You join another creator's program and earn on the sales you send them. Your programs are under My affiliate links in your account menu.
- Bringing creators to Sorai. You invite other creators to sign up and earn a share of what Sorai charges them. That is under Refer creators in your account menu.
How the money moves
For affiliates of a store, Sorai keeps the account of what is owed; it does not move the money. Commission is held for 30 days after each sale, in case the buyer is refunded, then becomes payable. The store pays its affiliates directly, outside Sorai, and records each payment in the console so both sides see the same account.
