Checking your affiliate system
Start by making sure the payout threshold, description and house rules are filled in correctly in the settings. Without these, affiliates can't sign up for your shop.
Adding promotion links
Your affiliates use promotion links to send customers to your website or checkout. You create them under Affiliates > Settings > Promotion links. Plug&Pay turns each one into a unique link that your affiliates can share through their own channels.
Deciding who's allowed to become an affiliate
As the shop owner, it's up to you whether sellers can sign up straight away or need to be manually approved first. Manual approval is useful if you'd rather not have just anyone promoting your products. You set this under Affiliates > Settings > Preferences.
Affiliates who've signed up for your shop appear under Affiliates > Sellers.
If you approve affiliates manually, you accept or reject each one from this overview.
Opening registrations and sharing your link
Go to Affiliates > Settings > General and switch on Allow registrations. As soon as it's on, a registration URL appears for your shop. Don't forget to click Save.
Copy the link using the icon next to it, and either add it to your website or share it directly with your sellers.
💡 Tip: put the link in the footer of your website. That's the first place experienced affiliates look for it.

Reaching more affiliates with the Marketplace (recommended)
Sign your shop up for the Plug&Pay Marketplace to reach a much wider network of affiliates. Affiliates browse the Marketplace for products that match their audience, then copy their unique promotion link straight from the product page. Ideal when an affiliate runs a platform with an audience that fits your product perfectly.
