Understanding the Affiliate Dashboard
Affiliate URLs
This is where you generate a unique link/URL which you will use to promote your website or products. It has the affiliate ID (which is unique to you) which will be appended to the URL(pruducts you choose to share to people) so every affiliates can be tracked when a visitor or customer visits our store.
For example:
To generate a unique link for the product: A+ 7” Tablet | Kin, Nur & Pry (3G Version) – Basic which can be found at this link: https://edtech.com.ng/shop/a-7-tablet-kin-nur-pry-3g-version-basic/, all you need to do is copy the product link and paste in ‘Page URL’ space then click on generate URL. A unique url associated to your affiliate account will be generated and will look like this:
https://edtech.com.ng/shop/a-7-tablet-kin-nur-pry-3g-version-basic/?ref=2
The “?ref=2” (your reference number will be different) attached to this link is what will make it unique to you. This is how you will continue to generate unique links to share with others.

How Does Affiliate marketing Work
Affiliate marketing is a kind of marketing where businesses reward affiliates for visitors they send to the business’s site via the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. An affiliate system is the system that handles the affiliate accounts, the tracking of the traffic affiliates have sent to the site, and the monetary rewards the affiliates have earned for their efforts.
This diagram helps to illustrate how the system works:

Place orders on behalf of others
Perhaps you tell people about the products and they are interested in getting any product, you can place an order on their behalf. You get commissions for orders you place on their behalf.
To ensure you are paid commissions for such orders ensure the “Billing Details” are yours while the “Shipping Details” are that of the customer. You can use your Affiliate login details to place such orders. Once the order is delivered, your affiliate account will be credited with the appropriate commission. Kindly ensure you follow this guideline for commissions to accrue to you. Failure to do this will mean forfeiting your commission.

After your first login, do ensure you provide your account details where your commissions will be paid. Cumulative commissions in a month will be paid NOT LATER THAN the second week of the succeeding month.
How and when will you be paid
You will be paid through the bank details you supply. Cumulative commissions in a month will be paid NOT LATER THAN the second week of the succeeding month.
We offer Payment on Delivery
To help in convincing intending buyers, always let them know about the option of paying-on-delivery which is available on our online store. This has been known to increase customer confidence in making purchases on online stores.
However, do note that if you place pay-on-delivery orders on behalf of others(as an affiliate) but the orders are NOT RECEIVED by the customers, deductions may be made from your commission account to cover for the shipping fees.
