Short answer

An affiliate creator is a content creator who earns a commission on sales generated through unique tracking links or discount codes. Programs such as TikTok Shop, Amazon Influencer, and brand affiliate networks pay a percentage of each attributed sale. Because compensation is tied to results, brands can scale creator partnerships with lower upfront cost and risk.
