## **Adding and Managing Affiliates in Afflr**

Recruiting affiliates is a critical step in building a successful affiliate program and plays a key role in expanding your marketing reach. 

Afflr provides multiple ways to add and manage affiliates efficiently.

You can add affiliates in **three different ways**:

### **1. Adding Affiliates via the Admin Dashboard**

Admins can manually add affiliates directly from the Afflr dashboard without requiring sign-up. This is ideal for quick onboarding.

#### Steps to Add an Affiliate Manually

1. Navigate to **Afflr Dashboard → Affiliates**.
2. Click **Add Affiliate**.
3. Enter the required affiliate details and click **Next**.
4. Tick the **Captcha** checkbox.
5. Click **Create**.

Assigning an affiliate program is mandatory when adding an affiliate manually. Affiliates cannot be created without a program.

### **2. Adding Affiliates via Forms**

#### A. Affiliate Signup Form

You can create a signup form and embed it on your Shopify store or share it as a direct link. You can create a signup form using predefined templates and customize fields, content, colors, and confirmation messages before publishing.

#### B. Affiliate Portal Signup

Affiliates can sign up through the Affiliate Portal using their email address.&#x20;

Once the admin approves the affiliate, they can:

* Access their dashboard
* Share affiliate links and referral codes

#### C. Thank You Page Signup

You can turn customers into affiliates using a **Thank You Page** shown after purchase.

Customers can join your affiliate or referral program directly from the order confirmation page by entering their email.&#x20;

Your Thank You Form will now appear on the order confirmation page, allowing customers to join your referral program by entering their email.

### **Importing an Affiliate List**

If you already have an existing list of affiliates, you can import them in bulk using a CSV file.

Existing affiliates can be imported using a CSV file, making it easy to migrate large affiliate lists. Go to **Affiliates → Import**, upload a CSV file, assign a program, and click **Upload CSV** to complete the process.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Referral codes are auto-generated; if missing, invalid rows are skipped, and files must be under 1 MB with up to 1,000 records.
{% endhint %}

### **Approving Affiliates in Afflr**

Admins can manually review and approve affiliates before they become active. This ensures only qualified affiliates join your program.

Open a pending affiliate in the Affiliates section, and save to change the status from Pending to Approved.

### **Changing an Affiliate Program**

Affiliates can be moved to a different program even if their current program is active. Each affiliate can belong to only one program at a time.

Select the affiliate, choose **Change Program**, pick an active program, and confirm the assignment.

### **Exporting the Affiliate List**

You can export all affiliate details as a CSV file for reporting or record-keeping with a single click. Go to **Affiliates → Export**, and the affiliate list will be downloaded instantly as a CSV file.
