There are two methods for a user to become an affiliate on your site:

• Affiliate Registration Form

• Manual creation by an admin through the backend

Method 1: Affiliate Registration Form

For details on the Affiliate Registration Form and instructions on how to create this page, watch this video.

Once a user completes the registration form, their application will appear as a pending request in the Affiliate Dashboard. To approve this request, follow these steps:

• Go to Wordpress back end -> WPRelay -> Affiliates

• Choose Pending tab -> Select the specific Affiliate -> Approve

Upon approval and selection of a specific program by the admin, the user will officially become an affiliate.

Method 2: Creating an Affiliate via Backend as Admin

To manually create an affiliate:

• Go to Wordpress back end -> WPRelay -> Affiliates

• Click on "Create Affiliate" button.

Details of configurations are:

• Program: In this section, associate an affiliate with a specific program by typing a few characters of the program title to select it.

• Referral Code: Here, you have the option to provide a coupon/referral code to the affiliate. You can either auto-generate the code or enter a code of your choice manually.

• Personal Info: Under this section, you can enter the first name, last name, and email ID of the affiliate.

• Finally, click on "Save Affiliate" to complete the process.

• Approving Affiliates - Ensure to "Approve" the affiliate from the pending tab, as affiliates are initially set to pending status by default.

• Managing WooCommerce Accounts - During the "Approval" process, if the affiliate does not already have a WooCommerce customer account, you'll have the opportunity to create one. Upon creating a WooCommerce account for the affiliate, a password reset email will be sent to them via WooCommerce.

Both methods involve a straightforward approval process, detailed in the respective sections of your admin panel.

NOTE:

• If affiliates register through the Affiliate Registration Form, they will appear in the "Pending" status under the Affiliates Tab. When approving these affiliates, you will also have the option to assign a Program to them.

• Additionally, you can change the Program associated with an affiliate at any time from the Affiliates tab.
