Custom Attribution: Choose Between First-Touch and Last-Touch
Right now, all affiliate programs in Affonso use last-touch attribution by default, meaning the most recent affiliate click before a conversion receives credit. I’m exploring whether it makes sense to give program admins the option to choose between last-touch and first-touch attribution, depending on what fits their strategy best. First-touch attribution would reward the affiliate who originally referred the user, even if another affiliate re-engages them later. This can be useful for longer sales cycles or content-driven discovery. If this would be useful for your program, feel free to upvote and add any thoughts in the comments.

Traffic source control to block search engine referrals
Allow program owners to exclude or ignore affiliate traffic coming from major search engines such as Google, Bing, Baidu, and Yandex. This helps reduce fraud and prevents affiliates from claiming commissions on branded search traffic or paid ads that should not be commissionable. Why this is useful Some affiliates try to game programs by running search ads or ranking for brand keywords and then claiming referrals that would have converted anyway. Being able to ignore traffic from major search engines gives program owners more control and helps ensure commissions are paid only for genuine affiliate-driven referrals. Proposed behavior When enabled, referrals where the original traffic source is a major search engine would be ignored and not attributed to affiliates. This would apply to both organic search and search ads.

Advanced Affiliate Event Tracking
Problem: Experienced affiliates — especially those running paid campaigns — need deeper insight into what referred users do after landing on the site. Basic click tracking or conversions aren't enough for optimization or proving ROI. Requested Feature: Enable custom event tracking for affiliate-referred traffic. Let program owners define and report events like: “Add to cart” “Sign up” “Purchase” Custom user actions (e.g. “started building a landing page”) Proposed Solutions: Event API — allow developers to send events to Affonso via a JS function (e.g. affonso.track("Purchase", {value: 49})), similar to fbq from Facebook. UI-based Event Creator — provide a UI that loads the merchant’s site in an iframe and lets them visually tag DOM elements for events (e.g. like Reddit Pixel). Affiliate Dashboard Events View — affiliates can then see which events their users triggered to optimize their campaigns. Why It Matters: Helps pro affiliates justify spend on paid channels Increases trust and transparency in partner relationships Unlocks better analytics for both sides

Notification when affiliate commission structure is overridden
When a program owner overrides an affiliate’s commission structure (e.g. custom rate), the affiliate is not notified. The new rate applies silently. Proposed Solution: Add an optional setting to notify affiliates when: Their commission rate is changed They are moved to a different group with a different commission structure A custom override is applied Optional enhancements: Email notification toggle (on/off) Optional note/reason from program owner Change history visible to affiliate and program owner

Allow assigning Marketplace signups to a specific group (instead of Default Group)
Problem: Currently, affiliates who join a program via the Affonso Marketplace are always assigned to the Default Group. This limits flexibility for programs that want Marketplace affiliates to receive a different commission structure than direct signups. Proposed Solution: Allow program owners to select a specific group that Marketplace affiliates should be assigned to upon signup, instead of forcing all Marketplace joins into the Default Group. This could be implemented as: A setting in the Affiliate Program configuration (e.g. “Marketplace signup group”), or A dedicated “Marketplace Group” selector, with Default Group remaining the fallback. Use Case: Some programs treat Marketplace affiliates differently (e.g. lower starting commission, different approval logic, or special terms). Being able to route Marketplace signups into a predefined group would remove the need for manual reassignment and better reflect real-world affiliate workflows. Current Behavior: Marketplace signups → always assigned to Default Group. Desired Behavior: Marketplace signups → assigned to a user-selected group.

Payment-Based Commission Tiers (Instead of Time-Based)
Currently, the "Variable Commission Over Time" feature increases/decreases commission rates based on how much time has passed since a customer was referred. This works well in many cases, but it doesn't fully support use cases where affiliates should be rewarded based on actual retention. We’d like to suggest an alternative model where commission rates are based on the number of successful payments made by a referred customer (e.g. after 3 paid months, increase the rate). This would better reflect real engagement and long-term value, especially for monthly subscriptions. Why it matters: Time-based incentives can be misleading in cases where a customer churns early and comes back much later. Payment-based tiers would allow for more precise incentives tied to true customer retention. Example: 10% for the first 3 payments 20% after 3 successful payments This model would reward affiliates for driving subscribers who actually stick around, instead of simply waiting for time to pass.
