Quick Answer
A Pay-Per-Lead commission structure pays affiliates a fixed amount when a predefined lead action is completed.
In BizStackPro, you can create a campaign based on forms, surveys, or calendars, enable Pay-Per-Lead commissions, set the amount paid for each qualifying action, assign affiliates, and publish the campaign.
Set Clear Rules Before Paying for Leads
Pay-Per-Lead campaigns are useful when an affiliate contributes to the sales process by generating a prospect rather than completing the final sale.
The qualifying action might be a completed form, a survey response, or an appointment booking. Each completed action can trigger a fixed affiliate commission.
The most important part of the setup is defining exactly what counts as a valid lead. Clear rules help prevent payments for duplicate, incomplete, fraudulent, or low-quality submissions.
Once the lead action and payout amount are established, BizStackPro can track campaign activity and record lead-based commissions in the affiliate profile.
