# Set up global affiliates

> Promote your product across Whop’s network of affiliates

Whop uses **global affiliates** by default to promote your business across the **Whop marketplace**. After you list your product, any affiliate in Whop's network can promote it for a default **30%** commission without extra setup.

Affiliates can get a **unique referral link** and start promoting your business right away. These links track conversions and payouts, which can increase your exposure and sales without additional effort.

Businesses can also choose a **custom global commission rate** for **users who have already purchased a membership** to their existing offer. This gives your most engaged customers an opportunity to become affiliates themselves.

    business. - **Member Affiliate Rate** – The percentage of each sale paid to
