Amplify (formerly Affiliate programs)

Affiliate commission is one of the ways an Amplify campaign pays, alongside a rate per 1,000 views, a rate per action, and a flat fee. It is the model that pays for itself: creators earn a cut of the revenue they actually drive, so commission scales with results instead of running ahead of them. Kleos issues tracked codes and links, attributes the GMV they generate back to Shopify orders, and calculates commission automatically, so a program with hundreds of creators runs without a spreadsheet reconciliation at month end.

Codes and links that tie back#

Every affiliate gets a unique discount code and a tracked link. When a shopper checks out, Kleos reads the code or link parameter off the order and attributes that order, and its full cart value, to the creator. There is no modeling and no guesswork: the attribution is the order record itself.

1. 01

   Create your program

   Set your commission structure (flat or tiered), rules, and holdback windows for returns once. It applies to every creator you enroll.

2. 02

   Issue

   Generate a unique code and tracked link per creator, synced to your Shopify discounts so they work at checkout immediately.

3. 03

   Attribute

   Match every order carrying a code or link back to the creator who drove it, and total the attributed GMV in real time.

4. 04

   Payout

   Calculate commission against your rules and queue payouts on the schedule you set. Approvals and holdbacks are built in.

Commission on autopilot#

Set your commission structure once, flat or tiered, with optional holdback windows for returns. Kleos applies it to every attributed order and queues payouts for release. Creators see their attributed GMV and earnings in real time, which keeps your best affiliates posting without a single status email from your team.
