What Is the Affiliate Program?
The affiliate program lets you partner with hotels, concierges, bloggers, and other referral sources who send anglers your way. Each affiliate gets a unique referral link. When someone books through that link, the affiliate earns a commission.
Plan Requirement
The affiliate program is available on the Professional plan and above.
Setting Up Affiliates
- Go to
Dashboard → Affiliates - Click "Add Affiliate"
- Enter the affiliate's name, email, and company (optional)
- Set their commission rate (percentage or flat fee per booking)
- Save — they'll receive an email with their unique referral link and portal access
Pro Tip
Start with a competitive commission rate (10–20%) to attract quality partners. You can always adjust individual rates later.
Commission Types
- Percentage: Affiliate earns a percentage of each booking total (e.g., 15% of a $400 booking = $60 commission)
- Flat fee: Affiliate earns a fixed amount per booking (e.g., $25 per booking regardless of total)
Commission Timing
Commissions are only earned when bookings are paid and confirmed. Cancelled or refunded bookings do not generate commissions.
How Affiliates Refer Anglers
Each affiliate gets a unique referral link like yoursite.com/book/your-business?ref=AFFILIATE_CODE. When a angler clicks this link and books, the referral is tracked automatically.
Affiliate Portal
Affiliates can log in to their own portal to:
- View their referral link
- See referred bookings and earnings
- Track pending and paid commissions
- View payout history
Managing Payouts
From Dashboard → Affiliates, you can view each affiliate's earnings and process payouts. Commissions accumulate and can be paid out on your schedule.

- Total referrals per affiliate
