Affiliates can only promote the brands that are on the portal. Every brand in your organization can be added, and one affiliate login covers all of them. ## Add brands Open the portal's **Brands** tab and click **Add**. Tick the brands to add and click **Add N brands**. A brand that is already on the portal does not appear in the list. The Brands tab listing two brands with their Status after sign-up: Pending approval and Active ## Status after sign-up Each brand has a **Status after sign-up**: the status an affiliate gets on that brand when they sign up on the portal. Open the row's menu, pick **Settings** and choose: | Status | What the affiliate gets | | - | - | | **Pending approval** | They can sign in, but you approve them before they promote the brand. The default for a brand you add. | | **Active** | They can promote the brand right away. | | **Disabled** | They are on the brand but cannot use it. | The Brand settings modal with the Status after sign-up select The brand has its own setting too: **Default Status After Register** in the brand's **Settings → Affiliates**. When both are set, the stricter one applies, in this order: Disabled, then Pending approval, then Active. So a portal set to Active never auto-approves sign-ups on a brand whose owner wants to approve them. The status only applies to new sign-ups. Affiliates you invite are Active on every brand you tick in the invite. You change an existing affiliate's status on their **Brands** tab. See [Affiliates](/affiliate-portal/affiliates). ## Remove a brand Pick **Remove from portal** in the row's menu. Affiliates stop seeing the brand on the portal, and new sign-ups no longer get it. The brand's internal affiliates stay on the brand, with their history. ## Related * [Approve affiliates on a brand](/affiliate-portal/affiliates#approve-an-affiliate) * [Commission groups](/affiliate-portal/payouts#commission-groups) * [Internal affiliates](/affiliates/internal-affiliates) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
