How to Setup Affiliates

An affiliate program is the most powerful marketing tool for an SMM panel. By offering your users a commission for bringing in new customers, you can rapidly grow your traffic organically.

Automated Commission Tracking

PanelN automatically generates unique referral links for all your users. When a new user signs up through a link and adds funds, the system automatically calculates and credits the commission to the referrer.

Step 1: Enable the Affiliate Module

First, you need to turn the system on.

  • Navigate to Admin > Settings > Modules.
  • Locate the Affiliates module.
  • Toggle it to Active.

Step 2: Configure Commission Rates

Next, define how much your users will earn when they refer someone. Navigate to Admin > Settings > Affiliates.

Commission Rate

Set the percentage (e.g., 5%). This means if a referred user deposits $100, the referrer earns $5.

Minimum Payout

Set a minimum threshold (e.g., $10) before a user can request to withdraw their earned commission.

Step 3: Managing Payouts

When an affiliate earns enough commission to reach the Minimum Payout threshold, they can click "Request Payout" from their user dashboard. You have two options for handling this in your admin panel:

  1. Transfer to Balance: (Recommended) You can approve the payout and the system will automatically transfer the commission into their SMM panel balance, encouraging them to spend it on your services.
  2. Manual Payout: You can mark it as Paid and manually send them the money via Crypto or PayPal.

Build Your Army

YouTubers and bloggers love promoting SMM panels for passive income. Reach out to influencers and offer them a slightly higher custom commission rate to review your panel!
