Getting Started as a Digistore24 Affiliate

💡 Step 1: Understand How Affiliate Marketing Works on Digistore24

When you join Digistore24, you’ll have two viewing modes:

Vendor View (for product creators)

Affiliate View (for promoters like you)

By default, your account starts in Vendor View, but you can easily switch to Affiliate View using the top-left corner of your dashboard.

Here’s the basic process:

Find a Product to Promote Browse the Marketplace in Affiliate View to discover products from various vendors.

Generate Your Promo Link Once you find a product, click Promote Now. You’ll receive a promolink that tracks every visitor and sale you refer.

Share Your Link Post your promolink on your website, social media, or in your emails—wherever your audience engages most.

Earn Commissions When a visitor purchases through your link, Digistore24 automatically credits your commission and pays you after the sale is completed.

🛒 Step 2: Navigating the Marketplace

To access the marketplace:

Switch to Affiliate View

Click on Marketplace in the top-right menu

Use the Marketplace Filters:

By Category – Narrow down product types.

By Earnings/Sale – Find higher-paying offers.

By Conversion Rate – Spot products that actually sell well.

By Cancellation Rate – Lower is better (means satisfied customers).

Quick Tips:

Review the Sales Page before promoting—professional presentation often indicates a quality product.

Check if the vendor offers affiliate support or ready-made advertising materials. These make promotion easier and more effective.

Evaluate key metrics like Net Earnings/Sale and Cart Conversion for performance.

Once you find a suitable product, click Promote Now. After your request is accepted, the button will change to Copy Promolink.

🔗 Step 3: Generate and Use Your Promolink

The promolink directs customers to the vendor’s sales page and tracks your referrals via cookies (valid for 180 days).

Promolink format:

https://www.checkout-ds24.com/redir/PRODUCT-ID/AFFILIATE/CAMPAIGNKEY

AFFILIATE: Your Digistore24 username (e.g. JohnSmith)

PRODUCT-ID: Automatically added by Digistore24

CAMPAIGNKEY: Optional. Add a label like “Facebook” or “Email” to track campaigns in your reports

Example:

https://www.checkout-ds24.com/redir/220831/JohnSmith/Facebook

⚠️ Tip: Do not shorten your promolink with tools like bit.ly—this can break tracking and prevent your commissions from being recorded.

🧱 Step 4: View and Manage Your Promolinks

To find or confirm your active promolinks:

Go to Account → Content Links

Click Show Promolink

Select your promoted product from the dropdown

Copy and use your displayed promolink directly

🌐 Step 5: Create and Use Content Links

Unlike promolinks, content links let you track referrals from any intermediate page—such as a webinar, blog post, or landing page—before sending visitors to the vendor’s sales page.

How It Works:

You send visitors to a custom content page using your content link.

The cookie is placed in their browser.

If they later purchase the product, you still earn commission.

Content Link Example:

https://www.checkout-ds24.com/content/220831/20581/JohnSmith/Product1

Content Link Format Breakdown:

PRODUCT-ID: The promoted product

CONTENT-LINK-ID: Generated automatically by Digistore24

AFFILIATE: Your Digistore24 ID

CAMPAIGNKEY: Optional tracking label

🛠 Step 6: How to Create a Content Link

Go to Account → Content Link in Affiliate View.

Click Create Content Link.

Enter the Target URL (the page you want to send customers to, e.g. a webinar or article).

Choose the Product you want to connect to the content link.

Click Save.

Finally, click Request Approval Now to have the link verified. Approval usually takes up to 24 hours (Monday–Friday).

Once approved, your content link appears under Your Promolink—don’t worry if it says “Promolink”; it functions as your content link.

💵 Step 7: View Your Affiliate Commissions

To track your performance and earnings:

Go to Reports → Commissions.

Here, you’ll see all commissions earned from referrals, along with details like product name, sale date, and amount.

Your earnings depend on each vendor’s set commission percentage, which is automatically credited to your account upon each successful sale.

🚀 Final Tip: Start Small, Test, and Optimize

Begin promoting a few products in niches you understand.

Track results using campaign keys.

Experiment with different traffic sources (social media, email, blogs).

Use vendors’ affiliate materials when available—they’re proven to convert.
