# Affiliate

> Run partner referral programs with trackable links, attributed conversions, and built-in fraud protection - all reconciled to your CRM and commissions.

> Affiliate is how you run referral programs at scale: give partners trackable links, attribute the conversions they drive, reward them through commissions, and keep the whole thing honest with built-in fraud protection.

## What this area does

Affiliate turns partners into a referral channel. You create a campaign with a destination and a
conversion form, generate trackable links for each partner, and install a small snippet or call
the conversions API to record results. Clicks and conversions are attributed back to the right
partner using signed tracking, so credit is accurate and tied to your CRM.

Rewards flow through the same commissions engine: a campaign can pay a fixed amount per conversion
or run on a commission plan, and affiliate-driven leads land in your submissions inbox like any
other. Built-in fraud controls, from signed click attribution to self-referral and disposable-email
blocking, keep the program clean, while partners see their links, clicks, conversions, and earnings
right in the portal.

## Why it matters

* **Time to value** - Launch a tracked-link program the same day. Campaigns, links, attribution, and payout rules are configuration, so partner marketing starts driving measurable pipeline without a setup project.
* **CRM-native** - Every click and conversion becomes an attributed CRM record and commission line, so affiliate-driven revenue is measured in the same source of truth as everything else, never a disconnected side tracker RevOps has to reconcile.
* **Low total cost of ownership** - Partner marketing runs campaigns, links, and fraud rules with no engineering, and changes them the moment a program shifts.

## How it fits together

A campaign turns partner links into attributed conversions and commission, with fraud checks along the way:
