Auto-Generated Briefs

When you create a campaign, ClipDesk automatically generates an industry-specific brief that clippers will see. This includes talking points, target audience, and content guidelines based on your industry.

Access your dashboard at:

Your dashboard shows:

• Active campaigns — all your current campaigns and their status
• Conversions — every sale tracked through affiliate links
• Revenue breakdown — how much you've earned vs. commissions paid
• Clipper activity — which creators have joined your campaigns

You keep 70% of every qualified conversion.

Every qualified conversion is split three ways:

Example: R149 Product

• Clipper receives: R29.80
• ViralVid receives: R14.90
• You keep: R104.30

Example: R2,500 Product

• Clipper receives: R500.00
• ViralVid receives: R250.00
• You keep: R1,750.00

The Phi Gate is what makes ClipDesk different. Every clip submitted by creators is scored against 5 viral metrics:

The threshold is φ = 1.618033988875 (the Golden Ratio).

• Clips scoring ≥ φ are qualified — they can earn commission
• Clips scoring < φ are recorded but not commission-eligible

This means you're only paying for content that demonstrably performs well. The Phi Gate acts as an automatic quality filter on every piece of content created for your brand.

ClipDesk uses Whop as the Merchant of Record (MoR). This means:

• Whop handles all payment processing and PCI compliance
• Checkout links are generated automatically per campaign
• When a customer pays, Whop sends a webhook to ClipDesk
• The platform automatically splits the commission and records it

The Flow

1. Customer clicks an affiliate link
2. They're redirected to your product URL (with tracking ref)
3. At checkout, Whop processes the payment
4. Webhook fires → conversion recorded → commissions split

When you register with terms_accepted: true, you enter into a binding Revenue Share Agreement.
