# What's a Good Way to Manage Affiliate Partners and Their Sales?

A good way is to give each partner a record and a unique code, link every referred order to that code, and let a dashboard total the sales and the commission owed. On **Jestor**, this runs through partners and orders **tables** linked by code.

Partners tracked in a list, with commissions calculated manually, lead to disputes. Partners who do not trust the numbers tend to stop promoting the store.

## What informal affiliate tracking costs

- Disputes about which sales belong to which partner
- Hours spent calculating commissions by hand
- Partners losing trust in the numbers
- No view of which partners really perform

## How structured affiliate tracking works

- Each partner is a **record** with a code and agreed commission rate
- Orders carry the code that referred them
- A dashboard totals sales and commission by partner
- Partners can see their own results in a restricted view

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Transparent numbers build partner trust
- Commission totals are ready without manual work
- Performance ranking shows who deserves more attention
- This scales from a few partners to a large network

| Partners in a list    | Codes, orders, and commissions linked    |

| Disputes, manual math | Transparent and calculated automatically |
