Building an affiliate scheme for a fitness platform

[Kimble]

Hi all,
I run Fit Expert - an online 121 personal training platform. We are just setting up, but I believe that affiliate marketing is going to be key to our success. There are two reasons for this:
1. influencers struggle to monetise their audience. We give them that option either by a recommendation for the 'untrained' fitness influencer or if they can PT then they can get people on the platform and get money for that session
2. we dont have huge pockets to pay upfront for clicks etc. but are happy to give away some decent margin as our costs are mainly marketing now.

I will add the questions into the relevant forums - look forward to learning a lot!

A credit card submit flow setup could be a good option.
You may get many registrations and pay for only users who complete cc submit flow.

Thanks! This was one of my first Qs - so we are planning to planning to pay on on-going margin, but some of the billing is automated (i.e. once they book they don't need to go on the website again as the event will recur automatically) - would this still work? What would be some tracking software that minimises the costs up front?

I may not be able to give full details that you need.
You can get in touch with some big names dealing with cc submits.

You need a database of the account (Customer ID) that relates to the (selling) Affiliate ID.
So as to pay them each month on the repeat sale (by an amount or a percentage).
This is a common feature (or could be added) in all back-end software.
