Overview

The Affiliate Seller feature on MARKAPLACE enables sellers to onboard affiliates who help promote and sell products, earning a commission from each sale. This feature benefits affiliates, and sellers by creating a collaborative and profitable partnership. The affiliate earns a percentage of the sales, while MARKAPLACE collects a separate commission on every sale made by the affiliate.

Once activated, affiliates have access to a dedicated panel where they can track orders, commissions, and manage payments.
