An affiliate is a partner who promotes products or services in exchange for a commission on sales generated through their referral efforts.
⚠️Important Note: Any affiliate that you create will be created on the parent level. This means that if you login to business admin accounts of one of your locations, and then create an affiliate, that affiliate will be created for all your locations. For example: You login to VSDH One - California and create an affiliate then that affiliate will be created for all your locations across US.
⚠️ Affiliates earn a commission each time a booking is made through their unique affiliate link, as well as when their associated coupon code is used—provided the affiliate is linked to that coupon
