Affiliate terminology

Before we start, here is some terminology to remember:

  • ActiveCampaign Affiliate Program
    An ActiveCampaign Partner Program where you can refer customers to ActiveCampaign and receive up to 30% of each customer's account value.
  • Affiliate links
    Links that direct traffic to a third-party's (affiliate) products or services. These links can be used in social media, blogs, and emails. These links are meant to help drive revenue for the affiliate. Including affiliate links in emails are allowed in ActiveCampaign with some restrictions.
  • Affiliate marketing
    A  program in which individuals can earn a commission if they drive leads or sales for a third-party (affiliate). Using ActiveCampaign for the sole purpose of sending and promoting affiliate offers to contacts is against our Acceptable Use Policy.
