GoHighLevel affiliate manager
By Marnix Geerkens. Updated 2026-05-28.
In short
GoHighLevel includes an affiliate manager that lets you run your own referral or affiliate program for products you sell through GoHighLevel. You create an affiliate campaign, invite affiliates, and GoHighLevel tracks which sales came from each affiliate link. Affiliates log in to their own portal to see their stats and commission balance. You process payouts manually or through PayPal. This is useful for SaaS businesses, course creators, and anyone who wants other people selling for them.
How it works
You set up an affiliate campaign and connect it to a GoHighLevel product or funnel. GoHighLevel generates a unique link for each affiliate. When someone buys through that link, GoHighLevel records the sale against the affiliate and calculates the commission.
You set the commission structure: a flat amount per sale, a percentage, or a recurring commission for subscription products.
The affiliate portal
Each affiliate gets a login to their own portal where they see their unique link, total clicks, total conversions, and earnings. The portal reduces support questions because affiliates can check their own stats.
You can provide marketing materials, banners, and swipe copy through the portal as well.
Payouts
GoHighLevel does not pay affiliates automatically. You export a payout report and process payments yourself, usually through PayPal, bank transfer, or another payment method you prefer.
GoHighLevel shows you exactly what each affiliate earned in a given period so you know who to pay and how much.
