How is Affiliate marketing worked out?
commission = delivered orders value × rateExample: a 10% commission, and delivered orders worth EGP 12,000 came through the marketer's link. Their commission = 12,000 × 10% = EGP 1,200.
Why does Affiliate marketing matter to a seller?
Because you pay for results, not exposure. But with cash on delivery, count commission on delivered orders, or you pay commission on refused ones.
