Launch an Affiliate Program in Systeme.io (In Under 10 Minutes)

Most people overcomplicate affiliate programs. With Systeme.io, you can launch one faster than you can write a blog post about it.

Here’s how to go from “I have a product” to “I have an army selling it.”

Step 1: Enable Affiliate Functionality

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Toggle “Enable affiliate program” to ON

  3. Choose default commission % (you can override this per product later)

That’s it — you’ve got an active program.

Step 2: Add Affiliate Commission to a Product

  1. Go to Products

  2. Select the one you want affiliates to promote

  3. Go to the Pricing Plan tab

  4. Set the commission (e.g. 30%, recurring, etc.)

If you want recurring commissions → check “Recurring” and set the interval.

Step 3: Invite Affiliates

You can invite people by sending them the signup link — it’s built-in.

Each affiliate gets:

  • A dashboard

  • Unique tracking links

  • Stats + payouts

  • Auto-generated links for each product/funnel

You don’t need to manually track anything.

Step 4: Manage Payouts

  1. Go to Sales → Transactions → Affiliate Commissions

  2. View commissions earned

  3. Mark as paid once done (manual payout via PayPal, Stripe, etc.)

Systeme.io doesn’t pay affiliates — you do. But it tracks everything.

Step 5: Optional — Add a Bump or Bonus

Add bonuses for:

  • Top performers

  • Limited-time contests

  • Custom campaigns

It keeps things competitive and fun — especially if you're growing through content or influencer deals.

If you're not tagging your leads the moment they come in, you're wasting segmentation power. Good news: you can do it automatically — and invisibly.

Here’s how to auto-tag new contacts so your list stays clean without lifting a finger.

What You’ll Use

  • Funnel or Form

  • Automation Rule

  • One-time config. That’s it.

Step-by-Step: Tag on Funnel Entry

  1. Go to your funnel

  2. Click on the step (e.g. opt-in page)

  3. Scroll to Automation Rules

  4. Click Add Rule

    • Trigger: Form submitted

    • Action: Add tag → e.g. lead, ebook-optin, from-seo, etc.

Now every new signup from that funnel gets tagged instantly.

Bonus: Stack Multiple Tags

You can add more than one.

Example:

  • Tag 1: lead

  • Tag 2: blog-reader

  • Tag 3: funnel-a-entry

Now you know who they are, where they came from, and what they want — without asking them anything.

Step-by-Step: Tag from Email Click

Want to tag contacts who click a specific email link?

  1. Go to your email

  2. Highlight a link

  3. Enable Tracking

  4. Set Action: Add tag (e.g. interested-in-product-A)

This is perfect for segmenting based on behavior — not guesses.

Why Tag Automatically?

  • Better targeting

  • Smarter automations

  • Higher conversions

  • Fewer unsubscribes

  • You stay organized as you scale

You don’t need to build logic trees in your head. Just tag as you go.
