Enable the affiliate program for your Telegram bot

The affiliate add-on for your Telegram bot will prompt you to set the commission rate for your affiliates when you activate it for the first time. You will be asked to enter the commission rate for new service orders, as well as the commission rate for renewals. It is possible to set a 0% commission rate if you do not wish to pay a commission. If you prefer to compensate affiliates only for new customers, you can enter a commission rate of, for example, 20% for new customers and 0% for renewals. In this way, they will only receive a percentage from people who have not subscribed to your service before.

By participating in your affiliate program, each affiliate receives a unique link that they can use to promote your service. When consumers pay, their affiliates will take a cut from the sales. Their commission depends on the type of order and the percentage you have set during the setup. If one consumer is invited more than once by different affiliates, your bot will remember the last link used.

Define a minimum payout limit

The minimum payout limit is the amount that your affiliates have to reach to be eligible for payouts. Their balance is rolled over to the next month until they meet this minimum threshold. By default, the limit is 50,00 €. You can use the affiliate menu to change both the amount and the currency.

Define a due period

The due period is the period during which the commission will be on hold. The commission from the orders will be automatically added to the balance of your affiliates when this period ends. By default, it is 45 days, but you can change it from the menu if you wish.Having a too short due period is not recommended. Allow some time for disputes and refunds, if any.

Select payout methods

Choose the payment methods by which you will pay out commissions to your affiliates. You can choose PayPal if you already use it to accept payments from your customers. Another option that is always enabled is an internal credit for in-bot purchases. The advantage of this method is that you do not pay any money to your affiliates but instead offer them a free subscription to your service.

Paying out the commission

Once your affiliates have accumulated enough earnings to reach the minimum payout limit, they can request a payout by clicking on the "Request a Payout" button in the affiliate menu of the bot. This will notify the bot administrators of the request, and they will have the option to approve, reject, or cancel the payout.
  • By clicking on the "approve" button, you will authorize the payment, and the bot will automatically process the order. You don't need to take any further action after that.
  • If you click on the "Reject" button, the payout request will be declined. This means that the affiliate won't receive any payment, and the commission earned will not be transferred to them.
  • Cancel - By clicking on this button, the payout request will be cancelled. The commission earned will remain in the affiliate's balance, and they can request a payout again at a later time. This option is useful when, for instance, you cannot pay the commission at the moment but don't want to reject the request entirely.

Use of internal credit for payment

Your Telegram bot provides an option for affiliates to use their earned credit balance to complete subscription plan orders. If the affiliate has sufficient credit, the bot will display an additional button to use their credit balance to pay for the subscription plan. The credit balance amount will be shown in the currency of the selected plan, even if the balance is in a different currency. For instance, if the balance is in EUR, but the plan is in USD, the balance will be displayed in USD.
To incentivize affiliates to use their credit balance, you can create subscription plans that can only be purchased using bot credit. For example, if your standard plan costs $20, you can introduce a new plan worth $15 that is exclusively available for credit payments.
