For Hosts
Run an affiliate program for your event tickets.Get paid automatically.
Define commission rates per ticket tier. Invite affiliates and community partners. Equip them with AI-generated captions and trackable smart links. Stripe sends commissions automatically after the event.
The SocialLoop event affiliate platform lets hosts run a referral program for ticket sales with automated commission payouts. Set per-tier commission rates, invite affiliates or community partners by email, and each one gets a unique promo code, a trackable smart link, and AI-generated captions tailored per platform (Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn). Source attribution captures at redirect; Stripe Connect handles payouts post-event once a hold ends (the later of 7 days after the sale or 3 days after the event) and the affiliate has earned at least $10 in commission, with SocialLoop having earned at least $5 in fees from that affiliate’s sales. Privacy-walled, affiliates drive bookings without seeing the host’s attendee list.
What SocialLoop ships
Per-tier commission structure
Set different commission rates for VIP, premium, and general admission. Affiliates know exactly what they earn per ticket type before they start promoting.
Automated Stripe payouts
SocialLoop records commission per eligible sale. Stripe Connect sends payouts after onboarding, holds and minimum thresholds are satisfied. Hosts still review exceptions and refunds.
Per-affiliate promo codes that auto-apply
Each affiliate gets a unique promo code. When guests arrive through their link, the code applies automatically. No copy-paste, no friction.
Trackable smart links with attribution at redirect
Every sale tags the affiliate, campaign, link, and platform that drove it. Real-time dashboard shows tickets sold, revenue, commission, updated live for both you and the affiliate.
AI-generated platform-tailored captions
When you invite an affiliate, SocialLoop generates ready-to-post captions for Instagram, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn, in your event's voice, with their tracking embedded. They post; you measure.
Privacy-walled distribution
Affiliates drive bookings without seeing your guest list. They see their own attribution data; you see everything. Structural fix to a category-wide trust gap.
Community-partner-ready
The same infrastructure works for individual promoters, newsletters, organizations, and community partners. The community-partner motion is first-class, not an afterthought.
Why this matters
An event affiliate program needs a clear connection between the agreed commission, the ticket sold, the person credited and the eventual payout. SocialLoop keeps those records together so hosts and promoters can review the result.
Set the rate for each ticket tier, invite your promoters and review their attributed sales. Payouts depend on completed Stripe onboarding, the hold period and minimum thresholds.
The host has the vision. AI handles the execution.
Before you invite promoters
- Agree the commission for each ticket tier and how discounts affect earnings.
- Check the promoter link, code and attribution on a supported test purchase.
- Explain the payout hold, minimum thresholds and how refunds are reconciled.
- Confirm each promoter can see their own earnings without access to your private guest list.
Common questions
Where can I sell event tickets with affiliates?
On SocialLoop. Define commission rates per ticket tier, invite affiliates in bulk, equip them with AI-generated platform-tailored captions and trackable smart links, and Stripe Connect handles automated commission payouts post-event. Review exceptions and refunds against the recorded earnings and payouts.
How do I set up an event affiliate program?
In SocialLoop you define commission rates per ticket tier (VIP, premium, general admission can each have different rates), invite affiliates by email or import a list, and the platform generates per-affiliate promo codes and trackable smart links automatically. Affiliates promote on their own channels; SocialLoop tracks every sale by source and pays commissions through Stripe Connect after the event.
How do event affiliates get paid?
Automatically, through Stripe Connect, after the event closes. Each affiliate connects their own Stripe account during onboarding. SocialLoop calculates commission per ticket sold via that affiliate (using their unique promo code or smart link), and Stripe sends the payout post-event. Payouts require completed onboarding, the hold and minimum thresholds; reconcile exceptions and refunds.
How does the affiliate program connect to my event?
SocialLoop ties each affiliate to your event ticket tiers, commission rules, promo codes and attributed sales. Affiliates can use AI-drafted captions and trackable links; earned commissions follow the documented post-event payout rules. Review rates, refunds and payout eligibility before inviting promoters.
Can affiliates see my guest list or attendee contacts?
No. SocialLoop ships privacy-walled affiliate distribution: affiliates drive bookings without seeing your attendee contact lists. They see attribution data (which sales they drove, commission earned) but never your private guest list. This is a structural fix to a category-wide trust gap.
How does commission tracking work?
Each affiliate gets a unique promo code (auto-applied when guests use their link) plus a trackable smart link with attribution captured at redirect. Every ticket sold logs which affiliate, which campaign, which channel, which platform drove the purchase. Real-time dashboard shows the affiliate their tickets sold, revenue driven, commission earned, updated live.
What about community partners, newsletters and organizations distributing my events?
Same infrastructure. SocialLoop's affiliate program supports both individual promoters (commission-driven nightlife / concert promoters) and community partners (newsletters, organizations, influencer-led communities), privacy-walled, automated payout, attribution-tracked. The community-partner motion is first-class, not a workaround.
Do I need a separate affiliate platform on top of my event ticketing tool?
For events sold through SocialLoop, the affiliate program is built into the host workspace. You can manage invitations, per-tier commission rules, attributed sales and payout records there. Check your plan allowance and complete the required Stripe onboarding.
What kind of events benefit most from running an affiliate program?
Recurring + ticketed events distributed through community partners, recurring tech meetups, professional networking events, festivals with multiple promoter-driven channels, concerts, mid-size conferences. The common thread: you have an audience that other people's audiences overlap with, and you want their reach without their guest lists.
