Step 1: Log In to Your Affiliate Dashboard
-
Go to MadeInNigeria.app.
-
Click “Login” at the top-right corner.
-
Enter your email and password.
-
Once logged in, click “Affiliate Dashboard” from your account menu.
Your Affiliate Dashboard is your control center for tracking all affiliate activity.
Step 2: Understand the Affiliate Dashboard Interface
The dashboard typically includes several sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Links | Shows all your unique links for specific products or pages |
| Clicks | Number of times people clicked your affiliate links |
| Sales | Total orders made through your links |
| Commissions | Earnings from each sale (before and after deductions, if any) |
| Payment History | Records of paid commissions and pending withdrawals |
| Reports / Analytics | Detailed breakdowns of performance by product, date, or campaign |
Tip: Spend a few minutes exploring your dashboard to familiarize yourself with all available features.
Step 3: Track Clicks on Your Links
-
Go to the Affiliate Links or Reports section.
-
Locate the link you want to monitor.
-
Check the Click Count — this shows how many times your link has been clicked by potential customers.
Why it matters: High clicks indicate strong interest in your promoted products. Low clicks may mean you need better placement or content around your links.
Step 4: Track Sales Generated
-
Within the dashboard, click on Sales or Orders tab.
-
You’ll see a list of all transactions attributed to your affiliate links, including:
-
Order ID
-
Product purchased
-
Quantity
-
Sale amount
-
Commission earned
-
Tip: Some platforms may show pending vs. approved sales. Pending sales are still being verified, while approved sales count toward your payout.
Step 5: Track Your Earnings
-
Go to the Commissions / Earnings section.
-
View your total earnings, broken down by:
-
Product
-
Campaign
-
Date range
-
Earnings status may include:
-
Pending: Sale is confirmed but payout is not yet released.
-
Approved: Commission is verified and ready for payout.
-
Paid: Already transferred to your bank account or payment method.
Tip: Regularly check your earnings to ensure all approved sales are credited correctly.
Step 6: Use Reports and Analytics
Advanced dashboards offer filters and charts to analyze your affiliate performance:
-
Filter by date range to see weekly, monthly, or quarterly performance.
-
Filter by product or category to see which items earn the most.
-
Use click-to-sale conversion rates to understand how well your promotions perform.
Example Report Metrics:
| Metric | What It Shows | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks | Total clicks per link | Identify popular promotions |
| Sales | Total orders from clicks | Measure revenue contribution |
| Conversion Rate | % of clicks that became sales | Optimize campaigns |
| Commission Earned | Earnings per product/link | Track payout accuracy |
Step 7: Monitor Payouts
-
Go to Payment History in the dashboard.
-
Check the status of your payouts:
-
Scheduled / Pending
-
Processed / Paid
-
-
Confirm your payment details (bank account, Paystack, Flutterwave, etc.) to avoid delays.
Tip: Keep a record of all payouts and cross-check them with your affiliate dashboard.
