## How do affiliate program work with BLOOP?

1. **Affiliate enrollment**\
   Customers sign up to become affiliates of your store. Once approved, each affiliate receives a unique tracking link.
2. **Affiliate promotion**\
   Affiliates share their tracking links with their audience through websites, blogs, social media, or email.
3. **Customer purchase**\
   When a customer clicks on an affiliate’s link and makes a purchase, BLOOP automatically tracks the order and attributes it to the correct affiliate.
4. **Commission Tracking**\
   The order value and commission rate are recorded in your BLOOP dashboard. You can review all affiliate activities and commissions in real time.
5. **Payout**\
   BLOOP calculates the affiliate’s commission, but payouts are handled manually by store owners.
