**Who are Affiliates and what is a Simple Affiliate Program ?**

Affiliates are influencers who promote your site/products and earn a commission for completed sales, benefiting both the affiliates and the site owners. 

A Simple Affiliate Program allows you to provide affiliates a percentage-based, fixed, or no commission. Similarly, their customers can receive a percentage-based, fixed, or no discount. This program is designed to simplify the process of offering incentives to both affiliates and their customers.
