Gamification & Challenges

Challenges & Gamification

Create goal-based challenges to motivate affiliates with real rewards. Challenges track progress automatically and apply rewards when goals are met.

Creating a Challenge

Navigate to Royal Affiliate Pro → Challenges to create and manage challenges. Each challenge requires:

• Name & description — What the challenge is about
• Metric — What to track: referral count, earnings, or revenue generated
• Goal — The target value (e.g., 20 sales, $10,000 revenue)
• Reward — What the affiliate earns upon completion
• Date range — Optional start and end dates
• Scope — All affiliates, or only those with a specific tag

5 Reward Types

Progress Tracking

Progress is tracked automatically via hooks when referrals are created or approved. Affiliates see their progress in the Challenges tab of their dashboard with visual progress bars, time remaining, and reward descriptions.

Tag-Scoped Challenges

Set a challenge scope to a specific tag to create VIP-only or tier-specific competitions. Only affiliates with the matching tag will see and participate in the challenge.
