Magento Affiliate Program. One More Opportunity to Increase Sales

Editor’s note: Usually potential sales volume of a certain business is limited by purchasing facilities of the market and during its life each business strives to expand that limits and get more revenue. There are a lot of ways to achieve this and an affiliate program is one of the most promising among them.

Merchants usually overlook affiliate programs as a valuable source of extra sales, but actually all mature online businesses have their own affiliate programs and widely advertise and engage in them. Here are only the greatest online entities, which have their own sophisticated affiliate programs in one form or another: Google, Amazon, eBay, Apple, etc.

Most affiliate programs are based on cookies technology, provide versatile reports both for publishers and merchants and exploit multiple advertising tools:

  • advertising toolbars;

  • product links;

  • widgets;

  • banners;

  • ad stores;

  • API integration.


Possible technical implementation of an affiliate program can be done anyway you like using API integration.



But some merchants still think that it is difficult to deploy affiliate programs and customers do not like them, multiple outbound links break search engine rules,  and the Publisher does not look like a necessary participant of the process.

The other side of the coin is much more attractive, and, furthermore, the present-day compensation methods ratio is favorable and safe for merchants. 80% of current affiliate programs are based on PPS (Pay per Sale) compensations, only 19% are based on CPA (Cost per Action), and only 1% of them are based on CPC (Cost per Click) or CPM (Cost per Mille).
