Creating Campaigns

Campaigns can be considered as a folder that holds related products such as products for the same company or pricing plan options.

Campaigns will hold your related products and those products will use information from your campaign such as affiliate commission percentages, support contact information, logos, payment gateways and more.

Campaigns also hold the sales funnels you will create to host your checkouts.
