Affiliates & Referrals
Earn commissions by sharing products and refer new sellers for milestone rewards.
Affiliate Links
The affiliate program lets you earn commissions by promoting other sellers' products. When someone clicks your unique affiliate link and makes a purchase, you earn a percentage of the sale.
Go to Dashboard → Affiliates
Access the affiliate tools from your seller dashboard. Here you can create links, set commissions, and track performance.
Create an affiliate link
Choose a product you want to promote and generate your unique link. You can also set the commission percentage you'd like to offer (typically 10-30%).
Share your link
Share the link on social media, in blog posts, in email newsletters, or anywhere your audience hangs out. When someone clicks and buys, you earn.
Affiliate links use cookies that last 30 days. This means if someone clicks your link today but doesn't buy until next week, you still get credit for the sale. The commission is paid out through your Stripe account along with your other earnings.
Tracking Clicks & Earnings
Your Affiliate Dashboard shows real-time stats for all your affiliate links:
- Total clicks — How many people clicked your links
- Conversions — How many clicks turned into purchases
- Conversion rate — Your click-to-purchase percentage
- Total earned — Your cumulative affiliate commissions
- Pending payouts — Commissions awaiting processing
You can also see performance broken down by individual link, making it easy to identify which products and which marketing channels are most effective.
Seller Referral Program
Beyond product affiliates, we have a separate referral program for bringing new sellers to SchoolHouseStock. When you refer a fellow teacher and they sign up as a seller, both of you benefit.
Every seller gets a unique referral code (found in Dashboard → Affiliates → Referral Code). Share it with teacher friends, in Facebook groups, at conferences, or wherever you connect with other educators.
Referral Milestones
As you refer more sellers, you unlock increasingly valuable rewards:
| Milestone | Reward |
|---|---|
| 3 referrals | Exclusive "Community Builder" badge on your profile |
| 6 referrals | 1 free month of Club+ membership |
| 12 referrals | Featured store placement for 30 days + "Ambassador" badge |
| 20 referrals | Lifetime Pro membership + dedicated support contact |
Tip
The best referral strategy is simply being enthusiastic about your own experience. When teacher friends ask how you're earning extra income, share your link. Authentic recommendations convert far better than generic promotions.
