Starting an affiliate program in Pakistan: the straight roadmap
An affiliate program is one of the cleanest ways to scale sales without burning budget on ads that don’t convert. You partner with creators, give them tracked links, and pay commission only on real results.
Step 1: Decide your goal
- Are you optimizing for new customers?
- Higher AOV (average order value)?
- Clearing inventory fast?
Step 2: Choose commission structure
- Percentage commission is common for apparel/beauty.
- Fixed commission works for standard products.
- Keep room for COD returns and operational costs.
Step 3: Fix your checkout and trust signals
- Fast product pages
- Clear pricing and shipping
- COD policy transparency
- Returns/exchange clarity
Step 4: Onboard creators like a pro
- Give them creative assets (images, angles, do’s/don’ts).
- Explain the offer clearly.
- Make tracking easy.
Step 5: Measure and optimize
Affiliate isn’t “set and forget”. Watch what converts, which creators drive quality traffic, and which offers get returns. Then improve the system.
Bottom line
If you want scalable sales with controlled risk, affiliate is the performance channel to build in Pakistan—especially when you connect with creators who already have buyer trust.
