# Affiliates

The purpose of this document is to explain the process of revenue split with your publishing affiliate.

### Contract Publishing <a href="#toc78296828" id="toc78296828"></a>

Contract Publishing is a custom publishing feature where you as a publisher are in a contract publishing agreement with an affiliate to publish a product such as a print, digital or exhibition product. This affiliation agreement allows you to share in the advertising revenue with the affiliate. Naviga allows you to keep track of the affiliates’ share of revenues on these orders placed in these products.

### Affiliate Setup <a href="#toc78296829" id="toc78296829"></a>

To setup the affiliate, navigate to the menu **Setup -> Affiliate Setup** or the menu **Analysis -> Affiliates -> Affiliate Setup**.

Under the pane “Create an Affiliate”, enter the Affiliate ID, and the affiliate description, and then click on the + sign. This will add the affiliate to the list. Click on the “Save” button.

### Product Affiliate Setup <a href="#toc78296831" id="toc78296831"></a>

Navigate to the menu **Setup -> Product Setup**, and choose the product from the drop down menu. This is the product you are publishing as a contract publishing with the affiliate.

Navigate to the section “Affiliate Publisher” and choose the affiliate from the drop down menu. Enter the revenue percentage allotted to the affiliate per your agreement and click on the “save” button.

### Exhibition Affiliate Setup <a href="#toc78296832" id="toc78296832"></a>

If this is an exhibition, in the Exhibition module, navigate to the menu **Setup -> Exhibition Setup**, and choose the exhibition you contracted with the affiliate and scroll to the section “Affiliate Publisher”. Choose the affiliate from the drop down and enter the revenue percentage allotted to the affiliate.

Click on the “Save” button.

### Create Affiliate Advertising Order <a href="#toc78296833" id="toc78296833"></a>

Proceed to create a campaign or exhibition in any of these products which are in contract publishing agreements with the affiliate. Generate the invoices for the orders and post the invoice to A/R. (It is this invoicing process which allows the campaign to display in the Affiliate commissions report described in the next section.)

Note that in the Edit Order screen, you are allowed to override that commission percentage.

Click the hyperlink to the line item, and then click the tab “Other”.

Note the field “Affiliate Commission Percent”. Enter the percent you would like to give the affiliate publisher and click on save. This percentage will be reflected in the affiliate commissions report.

### Affiliate Commissions <a href="#toc78296834" id="toc78296834"></a>

Navigate to the menu **Analysis -> Affiliates -> Affiliates Commissions**. Choose the affiliate from the drop down menu and choose the option “All Commissions”.

This will provide you with all the commissions allotted to the affiliate, including the order details and the affiliate share and commission amount. You can now check the “Processed” box corresponding to the order and click on “Save”, which will process the commission for the affiliate, much like the sales rep commissions processing.

Once you process the affiliate commission it will display if you change the option to “All Commission Processed in this Period”.
