Affiliate
Client affiliate information
If a WHMCS operator turns on the affiliate payment system, then a client account can become an affiliate. An affiliate record is attached to a specific client and provides configuration information to the affiliate system so that client can handle payments and commissions. It also tracks the balance available, amount withdrawn, and the number of visitors an affiliate has brought to an operator's WHMCS installation.
