> Run an affiliate program alongside your referral campaigns

## What are Affiliates?

Affiliates are external partners (influencers, bloggers, brand ambassadors) who promote your store using a unique referral link and earn a **commission percentage** on each successful referral.

Unlike regular referral customers who organically share with friends, affiliates are **manually added** by you and tracked separately.

## How It Works

1. You **add an affiliate** with their contact info and commission rate.
2. Referbro generates a **unique referral link** for them.
3. The affiliate shares the link with their audience.
4. You **track performance** and **export reports** from the Affiliates page.
