How the Sparkforge Affiliate Manager Works
Sparkforge Affiliate Manager runs your affiliate program end to end: create a campaign, hand affiliates unique tracking links, watch leads convert to customers, then approve payouts via PayPal or your chosen method.
Affiliate Manager lets you grow reach by paying third parties only when they deliver results. Create a campaign, hand out unique links, and Sparkforge tracks every click, lead, and sale back to the right affiliate.
How the Affiliate Manager works
- Create your first campaign. Choose the products to promote, set commission rates, and invite affiliates. Once the campaign is live, every enrolled affiliate gets a unique tracking link.
- Track leads. Affiliates share their link. When someone clicks and submits a form or books an appointment, they become a lead. Admins can also add leads manually.
- Convert leads to customers. When a lead purchases, Sparkforge automatically converts them to a customer under the original affiliate.
- Calculate commission and review payouts. Sparkforge computes the commission on each sale. Review the payout list and approve or deny each one.
- Pay affiliates. Automate payouts through PayPal or process them manually using Stripe, bank transfer, Wise, check, or another method.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Sparkforge track an affiliate's sales?
Each affiliate gets a unique tracking link when they join a campaign. That link credits clicks, leads, and conversions to the right affiliate.

Sparkforge calculates commission on every conversion. You approve or deny each payout, then pay automatically through PayPal or manually via Stripe, bank transfer, Wise, or check.
