Before you launch your first affiliate campaign in Captivation Hub, a few things need to be in place. Taking care of these steps ahead of time means your campaign will be ready to go live without delays.
Checklist: What to Set Up Before Launching
Step 1 — Enable Stripe Connect
Stripe Connect is required to process affiliate-related payments through the platform. To set it up, go to Settings > Integrations > Stripe Connect and follow the connection steps. If you’re not already using Stripe, you’ll need to create a Stripe account before you can connect it.
Step 2 — List Your Products
Your affiliate campaign needs something to sell. Make sure your products are listed in at least one of the following places:
- Funnels — Add products directly to your funnel pages.
- Website — List products through your website pages.
- Online Stores — Set up a storefront if you're selling multiple products.
Step 3 — Set Up Lead Tracking
If your campaign will track leads (not just sales), connect the right tracking source. Captivation Hub can track affiliate-generated leads through:
- Forms
- Surveys
- Calendars
Make sure at least one of these is set up and ready before launching a lead-based campaign.
Step 4 — Connect a PayPal Business Account (Optional)
If you want to automate affiliate payouts, link your PayPal Business account. This allows you to pay affiliates directly through the platform once their commissions are approved. Go to Settings > Integrations > PayPal to connect your account. You can still run a campaign without this — PayPal just makes the payout step faster and more hands-off.
Once these steps are done, you’re ready to create and launch your first affiliate campaign.
