Sub-affiliate networks

A sub-affiliate network lets you recruit other affiliates to work under you. They get their own tracking and their own login; the traffic they drive is attributed to them, and rolls up into your numbers. You earn on volume you did not have to run yourself.

The lifecycle

Every partner travels the same path, and each step is a deliberate decision by someone β€” nothing happens automatically.

  1. You share an invite link. Each network has one, from Copy invite link.
  2. A recruit opens it and sends a join request. Nothing is created at this point. The request is a request.
  3. You approve or reject it from the network's Partners tab.
  4. On approval the partner becomes real β€” their tracking and their account under your program are created at that moment, and they can start sending traffic.

The step people misread is 2 β†’ 3. A pending partner deliberately has nothing attached to it: no tracking, no account, no figures. That is why a pending row in the Partners tab looks so empty, and why approving is more than a formality.

What each tab is for

Tab Use it to
Partners Approve and reject join requests, and see what each partner is producing.
Public Offers Publish offers any partner in the network can pick up.
Assigned Offers See which offers are attached to which partner.
Pending Offers Action partners' requests for access to a specific offer.
Conversions Review, approve, and adjust the conversions your partners generated.
Payouts Generate and approve what you owe your partners.

Limits

The number of Active partners you can have is set by your plan. The limit is applied when you approve a request rather than when it arrives, so you always keep visibility of who is waiting even when you are at capacity.
