What works

  • The homepage lists one-click upsells, one-time offers and order form bumps as funnel steps.
  • The affiliate app supports single-tier and two-tier commission plans.
  • That app page describes dashboards and automated payouts.
  • The pricing FAQ says the company takes no percentage of sales.

What to watch

  • The affiliate app is included on Optimize and Dominate only.
  • Launch and Scale leave that app out.
  • In 2023, vendors who asked for an affiliate link were sent to a feature request named Backpack.

ClickFunnels fee questions

Is this a per-sale network fee?
The note above is the monthly plan and the processor rate ClickFunnels publishes. The other rows are networks, and they charge on a sale.
What is the catch with ClickFunnels's pricing?
The affiliate app is on Optimize and Dominate. Launch and Scale leave it out. You recruit the affiliates yourself.
