Case Study of Mr.A: Success with Using The FME Affiliate Module

Mr. A, a businessman, has been using PrestaShop to run his online store, but the sales have not been growing without paid marketing campaigns, as more costs are needed, and even so, the growth rate has been too slow.

While his existing customers seemed to be pleased and were coming back for repeat purchases, they didn’t have a method in place to refer new business or receive commissions from directing new customers. 

What Mr. A was looking for was a growth engine that could sustain itself, something that would incentivize his loyal users to refer others and keep the process as seamless as possible.

That is when the PrestaShop Affiliate and Referral Module by FME proved to be a boon, an easy-to-use single management tool that helped him in transforming his customers into an ultimate marketing force!

The Challenge Mr.A Was Facing Before Using the Module

Prior to the module installation, there were a few major problems that Mr. A’s store was facing in order to expand its coverage and customer base:

High Advertising Costs

Ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Google drove traffic but ate up much of the profit. ROI was a flop, and increasing cost-per-acquisition increased.

No Referral or Affiliate System

Although happy customers referred friends now and then, no system allowed him to manage, reward, or incentivize referrals in an automated way. Growth was occurring through word of mouth, but it wasn’t being tracked or quantified.

Nonexistent or Limited Loyalty and Engagement Initiatives

Mr. A wished to reward his customers and promoters, but the store did not have the ability to track commissions, provide discounts on referrals as well or set up a rewards programmatically.

Manual Tracking and Payments

When someone would refer a friend over an online channel like email or social media, it was impossible to track those sales manually. There was also no process for managing affiliate withdrawals or payments in a scalable way.

Limited Insights and Analytics

Mr. A had no way to track who was driving traffic or how much each referral person or affiliate was worth in terms of revenue. The opaqueness impeded optimization of any strategy.

Mr. A was looking for a powerful, easy-to-use referral & affiliate solution that would automate processes, incentivize the parties involved, and above all, deliver measurable results in real time, but he wanted them in his PrestaShop store!

The Solution that Suited Mr A the Best

Having looked at a number of third-party solutions, Mr A opted for the PrestaShop Affiliate & Referral module by FME, an established and advanced addon developed to enable PrestaShop store owners to set up efficient affiliate systems that are scalable as well.

The module’s vision was straightforward: convert customers into brand advocates and boost revenue organically with rule-based rewards and automation. It enabled him to easily start his own affiliate and referral program right from his store admin, without using any 3rd party apps or getting into too technical a setup.

Key Features that Helped Mr A to Attain His Goals

The module made it extremely easy to get Mr A’s affiliate program off the ground. He set up commission structures, referral rules, and signup options for affiliates within minutes.

• Current customers can now sign up as affiliates from their account dashboards, get personalised referral links, and start sharing right away.
• This created a network effect growth loop where every customer was effectively financially incentivised to acquire more buyers.
• Customizable Rewards and Commission Structures
• Mr A enjoyed the flexibility to produce custom rewards that suited his model.

He could define:

• Percentage-based or fixed commissions
• Product and Category Specific Rewards

These custom bonuses had affiliates promoting the store persistently, which created regular engagement and sales.

Automated Affiliate Management

Gone was painstaking manual tracking. The module automatically tracked clicks, signups, and conversions for each affiliate.

All sales and referrals were tracked in real-time, and the following was visible:

• Commission status
• Total earnings
• Referral source
• Conversion rates

The dashboard embedded in the platform lets Mr A and his affiliates share detailed reports transparently, bringing clarity into all business interactions.

Flawless Payout and Withdrawal System

Smooth commission payouts are one of the major obstacles for affiliate marketing. The FME module made it easy by making automatic withdrawals and real estate payments.

Affiliates would be able to withdraw funds after reaching a minimal balance, and Mr A could approve or reject those withdraw requests from the admin section. The process was very smooth and saved a lot of admin; you create long-term love from your affiliates.

Eye-Catching Banners and Marketing Assets

The module permitted Mr A to upload custom banners, graphics, and promotional materials for affiliates.

Not only did this add to the branding consistency, but made it far easier for affiliates to market effectively. With no shortage of canned images and referral links at their disposal, affiliates were able to begin social media, blog, or email campaigns in short order.

Referral Discounts for New Customers

To sweeten referrals, Mr A offered special discounts to new customers who signed up through a referral link.

The dual-component reward model, a win-win for affiliate and referred visitor alike, resulted in a tremendous increase in conversion rates (from just browsing to first purchases).

Analytics and Reporting Dashboard

The module’s embedded analytics and performance monitoring helped Mr. A understand programmatic success or failures at a granular level.

He could monitor:

• Top-performing affiliates
• Conversion rates by campaign
• Total affiliate revenue contribution
• Payment history and pending commissions

This data-based method enabled him to iterate on his affiliate strategy in the fly and find new growth areas.
