"Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer. It is basically a web-based pay-for-performance program designed to compensate affiliate partner web sites for driving qualified leads or sales to a merchant web site
Affiliates are third parties who refer customers to your site. The nopCommerce software can track those referrals so that the store administrator can determine what commission to pay them. Once a customer is assigned an affiliate ID, every order they place is also tagged with that ID.
In nopCommerce, an affiliate partner URL is as follows (http://www.yourstore.com/?AffiliateID=N (where N is an affiliate ID).
This URL is displayed when you visit the affiliate details page, after it has been added:
When this hyperlink is clicked from the affiliate site, the default.aspx looks for an Affiliate ID query string parameter. If one exists, the customer is tagged with that affiliate. The store owner can see a list of all affiliated customers on the affiliate details page, which is the Affiliated Customers in nopCommerce.
When an affiliated customer places an order, you can see this order on the affiliate details page under the Affiliate orders tab." (The user guide)

nopCommerce doesn't do any type of commission calculation, you have to do it manually .
