Can you use multiple merchant administrators?
Multiple merchant administrators is an optional feature of Post Affiliate Pro, allowing you to have more users with merchant roles in the same affiliate program. Your merchants can be divided into different roles, with each of them holding specific permissions.
Let’s use an example to illustrate this further. If you wish to assign a unique role to a merchant, you can do so by creating the role and assigning it to the merchant. Instances of this would include creating the role of an accountant that would be allowed to pay out affiliates, or to have the ability to check for fraudulent activity but wouldn’t be able to interfere with the campaign’s settings or provisions.
Important
This feature doesn’t mean that Post Affiliate Pro can be used the same way as Post Affiliate Network! In the affiliate network, the merchants have their own campaigns and banners, and they pay the owner of the network for using it. The role of multiple merchants is mainly administrative in nature and is usually performed by an employee of the company. If you are looking for affiliate network functionality, please visit our Post Affiliate Network web page.
Why should you allow multiple merchant administrators in your affiliate program?
Every company will inevitably need to expand at some point during its business journey. With that expansion, the company will have to start delegating tasks to others. By dividing the tasks between you and other employees, you can maximize your workflow and avoid stress from overwork.
