An e-commerce affiliate program is a marketing program in which businesses pay affiliates a commission for referring customers to the business's website.

The affiliate program provides affiliates with unique links or banners that they can use to promote the business's products on their own websites or social media channels.

When a customer clicks on an affiliate's link or banner and makes a purchase on the business's website, the affiliate will earn a commission for the referral. The amount of the commission will vary depending on the terms of the affiliate program and the products that the customer purchases.
