Who This Is For / When to Use
Account owners setting up affiliate offers
Teams selling products or courses with affiliate promotion
Users enabling affiliate tracking for funnels or websites
Prerequisites
Before setting up an affiliate funnel, confirm the following are already configured:
A domain is connected to your account
At least one product exists in the Payments section
Memberships are created if the product grants course access
Best Practice
When choosing an order form for products or courses, use a two-step order form.
This ensures leads are captured and attributed to the affiliate for future purchases.
How Affiliate Funnels Work
Setting up an affiliate product follows the same process as any standard funnel or website product.
Affiliate tracking is enabled after setup by linking the funnel or website to an Affiliate Manager campaign.
No changes are required on the product itself once it is connected to a campaign.
Step 1: Create or Confirm Your Funnel or Website
Ensure the funnel or website meets all of the following:
Uses a connected domain
Contains a product-enabled checkout step
Has the correct order form selected
Once published, the funnel or website becomes eligible for affiliate tracking.
Step 2: Create an Affiliate Campaign
Go to Marketing → Affiliate Manager → Campaigns
Select Add Campaign
Enter the campaign details:
Campaign name
Commission structure
Payout delay (if applicable)
Each campaign controls how commissions are calculated and when payouts are generated.
Step 3: Link the Funnel or Website to the Campaign
Inside the campaign settings, locate Referral / Lead Signup Link
Select the funnel or website you created
Filter down to the specific funnel or site associated with the product
This step connects affiliate referral links to your checkout flow.
Step 4: Verify Product Eligibility
Confirm the selected funnel or website includes the correct product
Ensure the product is connected to Stripe
Verify commission type:
One-time
Recurring (for subscriptions)
Once linked, all qualifying purchases through affiliate links will generate commissions.
How Affiliate Attribution Works
Affiliates share their unique referral links from the campaign
Leads are captured through the funnel or website
When a purchase occurs:
Stripe processes the payment
Kyrios records the commission
The commission appears in Affiliate Manager reporting
Affiliate attribution persists for future purchases when leads are properly captured.
