Create your first mission

A "mission" is one affiliate program. You can have several (one per plan, product line, or audience). Here's how to ship your first one.

1. Go to Dashboard → Missions → New mission

You'll see one form. Don't overthink it — you can edit everything later.

2. Pick a reward type

Type	When to use it
SALE	One-time purchases. Commission on the checkout amount.
LEAD	Sign-ups, demo bookings, trial starts. Flat reward per action.
RECURRING	Subscriptions. Commission on every renewal (lifetime or capped).

For a SaaS first mission, RECURRING is usually the right call — pay on every renewal, not just the first month. Partners care.

3. Set the rate

Flat — e.g. €30 per sale. Predictable for you and the partner.
Percentage — e.g. 20% of net. Scales with your price tiers.

For RECURRING, set recurring_max too:

null = lifetime (recommended for SaaS with low churn)
12 = 12-month cap (recommended if you're cautious)

4. Set the hold period

Traaaction suggests sensible defaults: 3 days for LEAD, 30 days for SALE and RECURRING. Don't lower these unless you know your refund window is shorter. See Hold periods.

5. Pick visibility

PUBLIC — shown on your portal, anyone can self-enroll
PRIVATE — shown on your portal, but partners must be approved manually
INVITE_ONLY — hidden on portal, access via direct invite link only

Start PUBLIC if your mission is a flagship program; keep PRIVATE for vetted B2B tracks.

6. Save

The mission starts in DRAFT. Click Activate once you're happy — partners can enroll immediately.

What happens next

Partners see the mission on your portal (if PUBLIC or PRIVATE).
They enroll → get a tracked short link.
They share it.
A sale happens → Traaaction creates a commission in PENDING.

See Commission lifecycle for what comes after PENDING.
