Top 5 Vendor “How-Tos”

#1. How to Split Test

Split testing is vital as a vendor because it allows you to test and compare two different versions of a sales page or order form to determine which performs better—with the goal of boosting conversions and generating more sales. After you see your results, you can continue with whichever version converts best.

The highest-leverage elements to test first are your headline, CTA button copy, and pricing presentation on your order form—these typically produce the biggest conversion lifts for the least amount of creative effort.

To learn how to set up split tests using our platform, simply follow the link.

Also worth exploring: The Digistore24 Conversion Cockpit lets you test, evaluate, and optimize every element of your sales funnel in one place—not just individual pages. If you want to go beyond basic split testing and optimize your entire funnel, the Conversion Cockpit is where to start.

#2. How to Attract and Acquire Affiliates

Affiliates are a key part of your success as a vendor, and the best way to acquire them is to set them up for success. Having a thorough and resourceful marketplace listing is the first step—we highly recommend also creating an attractive Affiliate Support Page that gives affiliates everything they need to promote. Be sure to provide them with: email swipe copy in multiple lengths; images, banners, and ad assets in standard sizes; video ad assets—now among the most requested materials from affiliates; key product proof points and approved claims;
clear guidance on what affiliates should and shouldn't say.

Beyond a strong listing, proactive outreach significantly accelerates affiliate recruitment.

Reach out directly to affiliates already active in your niche, offer competitive commissions, and consider running an affiliate contest with prizes for top performers. Your Digistore24 Growth Manager can also connect you with quality affiliates from the network directly.

#3. How to Set Up Your Customer Service Team

If you are planning on selling products at volume, setting up your customer service infrastructure early is essential. Digistore24 lets you grant different levels of login access to different team members and resolve tickets and inquiries directly within the platform—keeping your support operation organized and responsive as your business scales.

Some of the things you can find there are sales, promo clicks, and your top-performing affiliates. These metrics help you keep track of your business effortlessly.

#5 - How to Set Up Your Marketplace Listing 

Digistore24 provides you with a real-time overview of the current status of your business through the Business Cockpit dashboard. Key metrics available include sales, promo clicks, average order value, conversion rate, refund rate, and your top-performing affiliates—giving you everything you need to make fast, informed decisions about where to optimize.

When setting up your listing, think like an affiliate. The details that drive affiliate interest are: a competitive commission rate, strong EPC data (once your offer has conversion history), a clear description of your target audience and best-performing traffic sources, and a link to your Affiliate Support Page. The more information you give affiliates upfront, the more confident they'll be promoting your offer.

Tracking refund rate alongside revenue is particularly important: a high refund rate from a specific affiliate or traffic source often signals a quality or compliance issue that needs addressing before it affects your program.

By following these 5 "How-Tos," you'll be well on your way to growing and scaling your business as a vendor. Once your offer is live on the Digistore24 Marketplace, our network of experienced affiliate marketers can find your product, promote it, and send you targeted traffic to boost your online sales.
