Getting started with your affiliate program
With a program created, three things get it producing referrals: tracking on your site, affiliates in the program, and links in their hands.
Put the tracking script on your site
Section titled “Put the tracking script on your site”Add the capture script to your app’s marketing pages so referral codes from affiliate links are stored:
<script src="https://partnerconsole.co/affiliate-track.js"></script>It reads the mref code from incoming links (falling back to utm_source or ref), keeps it for 30 days, and exposes it at window.affiliateTrack.referralCode. The App Store strips query parameters, so your app forwards the stored code at install time and Partner Console records the attribution.
Add affiliates to your program
Section titled “Add affiliates to your program”Two ways to grow the roster:
- Invite them: add an affiliate by email from the Affiliates tab and pick which program they join. They receive their handle and portal access.
- Let them apply: share your program’s signup with your community. If the program requires approval, applications wait in pending until you approve or reject them.
Give affiliates what they need
Section titled “Give affiliates what they need”Each affiliate’s tracked link is shown on their profile and in their portal, ready to copy. Point them at it, and share whatever creative assets you use (logos, screenshots, copy) so their promotion stays on brand.
Watch it work
Section titled “Watch it work”As referred merchants install and subscribe, you’ll see attributions on the affiliate’s profile, commissions accruing under Commissions, and the referred customers marked with their source on the customer list.
