# Course Affiliates and Upsells

How your existing or future Course Affiliates can earn a commission on Upsells

If you haven't [read our Upsells Introduction help doc](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/175-introduction-to-upsells-and-course-bundles.md), please check that out first to familiarize yourself with our Upsells feature.

If you haven't read our [Course Affiliates help doc](https://help.teachery.co/en/articles/183-creating-and-managing-affiliates-for-your-courses.md), that's a good one to know as well.

## How does a Course Affiliate get credit for an Upsell?

For a Course Affiliate to get credit for an Upsell, there's ONE simple step when placing an Upsell on a Payment Page you have to take.

**THE ONLY STEP: When you're editing a Payment Page and you click the "Add Upsell Display" button, there's a checkbox to allow affiliates to earn a commission on the Upsell!**

By checking the "Allow course affiliates to also earn commissions from this Upsell" option, the existing Course Affiliate commission percentage you set for your affiliate **will be inherited during the checkout process.**

## Example Course Affiliate with Upsell Scenario

#1 **You've already added a Course Affiliate** to your $75 Sourdough Bread 🍞 Course (you can also add a Course Affiliate later on and as long as the "Allow course affiliates..." box is checked, you don't have to do anything else).

#2 The Course Affiliate gets a 30% commission for any customer they refer. This commission % ("Fee") is earned for the Course amount ($75) **AND** the Upsell amount ($30).

#3 Your Course Affiliate uses their affiliate URL from the email they received when you added them as an affiliate.

#4 When your affiliate generates a sale, they will get:

-   **$22.50 for the Course** (30% of $75)
    
-   **_AND_ $9 for the Upsell** (30% of $30)
    
-   \= **$31.50 total to the affiliate** (out of a $105 total purchase)
    

### The following emails will be sent…

1.  You'll get a "Course Sold" email notification listing the Course and the Upsell.
    
2.  You **AND** your Course Affiliate will receive emails that the affiliate sale was made and how much of a commission (minus affiliate fees) was earned
    

**#5 And that's it!** 🌟🎊 You can see ALL of this information if you navigate to the Customer Profile of the customer who made the purchase via the affiliate.
