For businesses

Let creators bring the buyers.

List your offer once and a network of affiliates promotes it to their audiences. You set the commission per offer, sales are attributed automatically, and you only pay on real sales.

What businesses list

You list an offer that is already real: a course, coaching program, membership, community, software product, consulting package, or any other online service that can be sold through checkout. You list it once, and a network of affiliates can promote it to their own audiences.

Xela Affiliates does not replace your product. You still own what is being sold. It adds the distribution layer around it: affiliate links, sale attribution, commission rules, and payout tracking — so promotion happens without you managing each relationship by hand.

  • List the offer name, price, description, and fulfillment details.
  • Works for low-ticket through high-ticket digital services.
  • A network of affiliates can promote it to their audiences.
  • You keep control of the product, delivery, and support.
  • The offer becomes promotable through tracked links.

How you set commission

You decide the commission percentage for each offer. Because it is set per offer, you can pay more on a product where you want aggressive promotion and less where the margins are tighter. Whatever the affiliate earns, you keep the remainder of every sale.

The rate is visible to affiliates before they promote, which means the people who pick up your offer already know the economics. There is no negotiation after the fact and no ambiguity about who earns what.

  • You set the commission percentage per offer.
  • You keep the remainder of every sale.
  • Different offers can carry different rates.
  • Affiliates see the rate before they promote.
  • No internal fees or splits are exposed to the buyer.

How sales are attributed

Every affiliate promoting your offer has their own permanent link. When a buyer purchases through one of those links, the sale is automatically attributed to that affiliate at the moment of payment — no promo codes to reconcile and no manual crediting.

Each order records the offer, buyer, business, affiliate, gross sale, commission, and payout state. That gives you and the affiliate a shared, accurate record instead of a spreadsheet someone updates later.

  • Each affiliate promotes with their own unique link.
  • Purchases are attributed automatically at checkout.
  • You only pay commission on real, settled sales.
  • Refunded orders are handled before payout.
  • Both sides see the same order record.

What you control

You decide which offers are open to affiliates. An offer can be promotable or kept closed, and you can open or narrow that access as you learn what works. Not every product needs a network behind it, and you stay in charge of which ones do.

Before an offer can go live, it goes through ownership verification. That protects the catalog: affiliates promote offers that belong to the business listing them, and buyers reach legitimate products.

  • Choose which offers are open to affiliates.
  • Open or close affiliate access per offer.
  • Offers require ownership verification before going live.
  • Edit offer details when the product changes.
  • Keep access narrow while you prove out the fit.

What affiliates handle

Affiliates handle reach. They bring buyers through their own audiences, content, communities, and channels. They do not own your product, hold the payment, or take over fulfillment — they put your offer in front of people who trust them.

You should still expect affiliates to understand the offer and represent it well. Xela Affiliates provides the tracking and payment infrastructure, but the quality of the promotion still matters to your brand.

  • Affiliates promote your offer to their audiences.
  • They use their own content and channels.
  • They are credited when buyers purchase through their link.
  • They do not touch fulfillment or buyer support.
  • You focus on the product; they focus on reach.

When affiliates get paid

You should not have to calculate commissions by hand, chase who sold what, or run a payout spreadsheet. Sales are tracked at checkout, and the platform handles the math and the transfers on a monthly rhythm.

Payouts are released after orders settle and refund windows clear. That means you only pay on real sales, affiliates get paid reliably, and buyers still have a normal checkout experience.

  • Commissions are calculated automatically at checkout.
  • Payouts to affiliates run on a monthly schedule.
  • Payouts are handled by the platform, not by you.
  • You only pay on settled, non-refunded sales.
  • Order status is visible to both sides throughout.

What happens after joining

After joining, you set up your business account, list an offer, and set its commission. Once the offer clears ownership verification and you open it to affiliates, they can grab their links and start promoting.

From there you watch orders, affiliate performance, refunds, and payout status. You get distribution across many audiences without running a referral program yourself.

  • Create or claim your business account.
  • List an offer and set its commission.
  • Complete ownership verification.
  • Open the offer to affiliates.
  • Track sales, affiliate performance, and payout status.
