These changes will take effect on September 1, 2025.
At BrightFunded, we’re excited to announce major updates to our Affiliate Program—designed to boost your experience, maximize earnings, and create a more transparent, scalable system. Our mission is to equip affiliates with the tools and clarity they need to thrive. These improvements make the program more rewarding, easier to use, and fully aligned with your success.
A More Scalable and Rewarding System
Our updated Affiliate Program is built to grow with your success. With real-time tracking, tiered commissions (10%–15% on EVERY purchase), and an enhanced dashboard, you’ll have more control and transparency than ever. These improvements ensure your efforts are rewarded fairly and your affiliate business can thrive alongside BrightFunded.
Why These Changes?
We listened to your feedback. By adding unique discount codes, tiered rewards, and comprehensive analytics, we’ve created a program that’s more engaging, motivating, and rewarding for both new and experienced affiliates.
Key Updates to the Affiliate Program
1. How You Earn Commissions
There are two ways to generate commissions as a BrightFunded affiliate:
1. Via Personal Discount Code
Each affiliate receives a unique 10% discount code. When a customer enters this code at checkout, the sale is automatically attributed to the affiliate. This method is ideal for sharing through social media, video content, or any channel where a direct link might not be used.
2. Via Referral Link (Same Session Attribution)
When a customer clicks on your referral link and completes the purchase in the same browser session, the system will register the sale under your affiliate account. No code is required in this case, as long as the purchase is made without closing or refreshing the session.
2. Tiered Affiliate Levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold
Your success deserves to be celebrated. That’s why we’ve introduced a three-tier system designed to reward your growth at every step:
Bronze – 10% Commission
Silver – 12.5% Commission
Gold – 15% Commission
How It Works
All affiliates start at Bronze. Earn €1,000 commission in a month to move up to Silver, or €2,000 to reach Gold. Each promotion happens automatically on the first day of the following month.
Staying Active
Upgrade: Hit the threshold for the next tier → move up.
Maintain: Hit your current tier’s threshold → stay at your level.
Downgrade: Miss your tier’s threshold → move down one level.
This clear structure rewards both growth and consistency—keeping your earnings fair, transparent, and motivating.
Exclusive Benefits & Tracking
Higher tiers unlock better commissions and exclusive perks, giving you even more reason to scale. Plus, with real-time tracking in your Affiliate Portal, you’ll always know your progress toward the next milestone.
3. Real-Time Referral History
Transparency is key to your success, which is why we’ve added a Referral History section to the Affiliate Portal. This feature allows you to see every purchase made with your customized code in near real-time.
How It Works: After a customer completes a purchase using your code, the transaction appears in your Referral History. Updates may take a few minutes to process, but you’ll have a clear record of all your sales.
Why It’s Better: This feature gives you immediate insight into your performance, helping you track conversions and optimize your strategies.
4. Payout History for Full Financial Clarity
Managing your earnings is now easier with the new Payout History section in the Affiliate Portal. This feature provides a detailed record of all your requested and processed payouts.
How It Works: View your payout requests and payment details in one place. This ensures you always know when and how much you’ve been paid.
Why It’s Better: The Payout History section offers complete transparency, so you can track your earnings and plan your finances with confidence.
5. Real-Time Statistics and Conversion Rates
To help you optimize your promotional efforts, we’ve introduced a Statistics section in the Affiliate Portal. This feature provides real-time data on your clicks, conversions, and conversion rates.
How It Works: Monitor key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and total sales generated. This data updates in real-time, giving you instant insights into your performance.
Why It’s Better: With access to detailed analytics, you can identify what’s working, refine your strategies, and maximize your commissions.
6. Mandatory Affiliate Information Form and Contract
As part of our commitment to maintaining a professional and compliant Affiliate Program, all current and new affiliates must complete an information form and sign the Affiliate Contract within 30 days of joining or receiving this update.
How It Works: The form and contract are accessible in the Affiliate Portal. The form collects essential details to ensure compliance, while the contract outlines the terms of our partnership.
Why It’s Better: This step ensures a secure and transparent relationship, protecting both you and BrightFunded while aligning with industry standards.
Deadline: Complete these requirements within 30 days to remain active in the program.
7. Payout Schedule
To streamline the payout process, we’ve standardized the schedule for requesting and processing affiliate commissions.
How It Works: Submit your payout request by 12:00 PM CET on the 15th of each month. Payouts are processed between the 15th and 17th of the same month. Requests submitted after the deadline will be processed the following month.
Minimum Payout Threshold: Ensure your commissions reach at least €50 before requesting a payout.
Why These Changes Benefit You
Scalability: The tiered system and personal discount code model allow you to grow your earnings as you reach higher sales targets, making the program more sustainable and rewarding over time.
Transparency: Real-time Referral History, Payout History, and Statistics give you full visibility into your performance and earnings.
Simplicity: Customers can either use your personal discount code at checkout or purchase through your referral link within the same browser session. Both methods ensure that you receive credit for the sale.
Motivation: Tiered levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold) incentivize consistent growth, while real-time analytics help you optimize your marketing efforts.
Compliance: The required form and contract ensure a professional and secure partnership, protecting both your commissions and the integrity of the affiliate program.
Tips for Success in the New Affiliate Program
Promote Your Personal Discount Code Actively: Share your code across your platforms—social media, blogs, newsletters, or community forums. Remind users to enter the code at checkout.
Maximize Referral Link Conversions: If customers are likely to purchase immediately, use your referral link. As long as the purchase is completed in the same browser session, the commission will be registered.
Track Your Progress: Monitor your Referral History and Statistics in the Affiliate Portal to identify what drives conversions and fine-tune your strategy.
Aim for Higher Tiers: Reach the next tier (Silver or Gold) by hitting your monthly sales target, unlocking higher commission rates and exclusive perks.
Complete Compliance Steps Quickly: Submit your affiliate form and sign the contract within 30 days to maintain your eligibility and avoid delays in payouts.
Leverage Visuals: Use official BrightFunded promotional assets (available on our social channels) to create high-converting content that highlights your code and benefits.
