Affiliates let other people — clippers, content creators, anyone with an audience — promote your products with a personal referral link and earn a commission on every sale they bring in. There are two sides to the feature:
  • Affiliates (seller view) — where you, the seller, invite and manage the people promoting your products.
  • My Affiliate Dashboard — where someone who is an affiliate sees the products they promote, their referral links, sales, earnings, and payouts.
Both pages are available from the bottom of the dashboard sidebar.

​
Inviting an affiliate

  1. In the Pocketsflow dashboard, go to Affiliates and click New Affiliate.
  2. Enter the affiliate’s email address. They must already have a Pocketsflow account with a connected Whop payouts account, so commissions can be paid out.
  3. Set the commission rate — the percentage of each sale the affiliate earns (for example, 10 means 10%).
  4. Choose which products the affiliate can promote.
  5. Leave Active on and save.
You can edit the commission rate, product list, or active status at any time. Deactivating an affiliate stops new clicks and sales from being attributed to them without deleting their history. Every affiliate gets a personal link per product: 
https://app.pocketsflow.com/prod/{productId}?a={affiliateId}
Use the Copy URL button on either affiliate page to copy a ready-made link — don’t build them by hand. When a visitor opens a referral link:
  • The click is recorded for the affiliate’s stats. Repeat clicks from the same visitor for the same link are deduplicated over a 24-hour window, so click counts aren’t inflated by refreshes.
  • If the visitor buys, the sale is attributed to the affiliate and their commission is calculated from the sale amount at the configured rate.

​
The affiliate’s view

Affiliates see everything about their participation under My Affiliate Dashboard in the sidebar:
  • Your affiliated products — every seller and product they promote, the commission rate, and a copy button for each referral link.
  • Sales per product — orders, sales volume, and commission earned for each promoted product.
The underlying API also exposes aggregated stats (lifetime earnings, total orders, active products, average commission rate), earnings history grouped by day, week, or month, per-link click and conversion stats, and payout history — see the API reference under the Affiliated Products tag.
All amounts in the affiliate API are in cents, consistent with order amounts elsewhere in the API.

​
Commission payouts

Affiliates connect a payouts account through Whop — the same way sellers do — and commissions are paid there. The commission comes out of the sale itself: it is collected from the seller’s share at charge time and forwarded to the affiliate, so as a seller you receive the sale amount minus the platform fee minus the affiliate’s commission. Payouts are batched per affiliate after a hold window (refunded and disputed sales are excluded), and each payout has a status (pending, completed, or failed). Affiliates can review their payout history via the affiliate dashboard API.

​
Best practices

  • Agree on the commission rate before inviting an affiliate — changing it later only affects new sales.
  • Scope each affiliate to the products they actually promote rather than your whole catalog.
  • Watch the conversion rate per link: lots of clicks with few sales usually means the audience and the product don’t match.
