Your profile overview is an important part of your affiliate activities and you should take time to set it up fully.
Please read the following before creating your profile:

Important
Do not invite any partners to your program until your integration is complete and your program is set live.
Step 1: Create the advertiser profile
Log into your account and click Account > Profile > Overview to view your program’s profile page. Partners will use this page to learn about your program.
Upload a company logo by clicking on the orange pencil next to the Profile Picture.
Add a description of your business under Summary.
Add further details of your affiliate program under Description on the Overview tab.
Add your website and social URLs under Links.
Step 2: Upload documents
You can upload documents and files to be displayed on your profile page. These might include a program Welcome Pack, customer demographics/statistics, product overviews, or brand presentations. Add them to the Documents tab.
Step 3: Set program terms
Next, click the Terms tab. This allows you to clearly define the Terms & Conditions for your affiliate program. It promotes greater transparency to the network and partners.
Read our detailed Terms and Conditions guide on what information to include.
Note
Make sure to fill in and publish (save) all tabs under Terms. Otherwise your profile won’t be 100% complete.
Step 4: Set sector categorization
Next click Account > Promotional > Sector Categorization. This information is used to categorize your business. Partners search for advertisers by their sectors, so it’s important to have it set correctly, and we also use this data to provide detailed reporting to partners. You can choose as many sectors as you wish, but please select at least one that best reflects your business. Once you are happy, click Update Sector Details.
Step 5: Program welcome email
A welcome email is sent to each partner after you accept their application to join your program. You can add this in Account > Partnership Settings > Welcome Email. View our welcome email guide for some inspiration.
Step 6: Upload banners and text links
You will need a small selection of standard banners and/or some logos to get you going. Some partners will also need text links to add to their website in order to promote you. Both can be added via Toolbox > My Creative.
View our banner size guide and watch our YouTube tutorial on how to upload banners. Or check our text link guide.
