Store Affiliates

What this controls

Store Affiliates lets you run a partner referral program for store purchases. Use it to create affiliate profiles, share tracked links, assign discounts, choose which products can earn commission, review conversions, and keep payout records after you pay partners outside Hiveality.

Before you start

• Connect payments and confirm your checkout setup in Store Settings.
• Create the products, prices, and discounts you want partners to promote.
• Decide the default commission rate, how long a click should stay eligible, and how long commissions should wait before they are ready for payout review.
• If you do not see Affiliates under Store, the feature may not be enabled for your account yet.

Set up the program

Manage affiliates and groups

• Use Affiliates to add a partner manually with a name, email, first code, and optional group.
• Change a partner's status to pending, approved, suspended, or rejected.
• Edit a partner code when needed. Older codes can remain as aliases so existing links keep working.
• Use Groups for commission tiers. Group changes apply to future conversions.

Product eligibility and discounts

Use Eligibility when only some products, categories, or prices should earn commission.

• All products eligible keeps the program broad.
• Only selected items eligible limits commission to the selected products, categories, or prices.
• All except selected items excludes specific products, categories, or prices.

Use Coupons to assign an existing Store Discount to a partner. When a buyer uses an assigned discount, that partner receives the credit for the purchase.

Review conversions and payouts

• Conversions shows the partner, checkout source, status, commission base, and commission amount for tracked purchases.
• Needs Review highlights self-referrals, refunds, partial refunds, or incomplete records that need a manual decision.
• Due Commissions groups matured commissions by partner and currency so you can create draft payout records.
• Payouts stores manual payout records. Mark a payout paid after you send funds outside Hiveality, or cancel a draft if it should not be paid.

Member experience

When member portal access is open, approved members can use the member area to copy their affiliate link, build a link to a specific public path, see click and conversion counts, review pending commission, and view any assigned discount.

Example partner links use the public pattern /a/your-code. A partner can also build a destination-specific link such as

/a/your-code?to=/store.
