We will show you how to get started with Trackdesk. There are a few parts of the system that are recommended to begin setting it up.

Let's define the goals of your affiliate program. We call these conversion types.

Add the conversion types that will define what you will pay your affiliates or what you would like to track for affiliates. We've added some for you. Feel free to add and customize them.

Now it's time to set up how much you will pay your affiliates using tiers. The tiers setting is present in settings in the Affiliates section on the Tiers page.

If you would like to separate affiliates feel free to add a few tiers. The most common case is to use of a VIP tier on top of the default Standard one.

Continue by defining the commission rate of tiers, in other words, how much you plan to pay your affiliates, a commission rate for tiers is used when an offer is created, to predefine values in the offer.
