Join a program with an invitation link
Read a merchant’s terms and join its program.
This article describes a signed-in space; it is not indexed by search engines.
Before you start
- An affiliate account (a merchant account cannot join a program).
- The invitation link sent by the merchant.
Steps
- Open the invitation link. If you are not signed in, sign in or create an affiliate account.
- Read the terms: shop, commission, cookie length, withdrawal delay, attribution and approval type.
- Tick that you have read and accept the terms, then click “Join the program”.
- If the merchant approves each affiliate, your request stays pending; otherwise you join at once and “See my links” appears.
Expected result
You are a member of the program and your tracking link is ready in “My links”.
If it does not work
- “Invitation not found”: the link is expired, revoked or invalid; ask the merchant for a new one.
- “You are already a member”: find the program in “My programs”.
- Membership pending: your links stay inactive until the merchant approves.
- A program in test mode pays no real earnings.
