Affiliates sign up, get tracking links and creatives, follow their stats and get paid; you approve them, set commissions and run payouts. The affiliate portal is a branded site on a domain you own, such as `partners.example.com`. It belongs to your organization, so one portal can carry several of your brands and one affiliate login can promote all of them. You run it from **Organization settings → Affiliate portal**. Your affiliates use it on the portal's domain. The **Setup checklist** on its Overview tab shows what is still missing before affiliates can promote and get paid. The Affiliate portal page in organization settings: the portal name and domain with its Active status, the section list (Overview, Settings, Branding, Affiliates, Brands, Commission groups, Assets, Payouts) and the setup checklist ## How it fits together 1. **You create the portal** on a custom domain, add the DNS records it shows and work through the setup checklist. See [Set up the portal](/affiliate-portal/set-up). 2. **You put brands on it.** Affiliates can only promote the brands that are on the portal. Each brand sets the status a new sign-up gets. See [Brands on the portal](/affiliate-portal/brands). 3. **Affiliates join.** They sign up on the portal and confirm their email, or you invite them. See [Affiliates](/affiliate-portal/affiliates) and [Sign-up and sign-in](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-sign-up). 4. **They promote.** Each affiliate builds tracking links to your offer pages and uses the creatives you publish. See [Assets](/affiliate-portal/assets) and [Links and resources](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-links). 5. **You pay them.** Commission groups set what they earn on each brand. Payouts are generated per affiliate per period, across all their brands. See [Commissions and payouts](/affiliate-portal/payouts). ## The two sides | You, in ElasticFunnels | Your affiliate, on the portal domain | | - | - | | [Set up the portal and its domain](/affiliate-portal/set-up) | [Sign up, confirm the email, sign in](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-sign-up) | | [Put brands on the portal](/affiliate-portal/brands) | [Dashboard and reports](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-dashboard) | | [Invite, approve and manage affiliates](/affiliate-portal/affiliates) | [Tracking links and resources](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-links) | | [Commission groups and payouts](/affiliate-portal/payouts) | [Payouts and payout details](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-payouts) | | [Assets: offer pages, banners, swipes](/affiliate-portal/assets) | [Their own pixels and postbacks](/affiliate-portal/affiliate-tracking) | | [Branding and emails](/affiliate-portal/branding) | | | [Who can manage the portal](/affiliate-portal/permissions) | | ## Portal affiliates and brand affiliates A portal affiliate is one login in your organization. For every brand they promote, ElasticFunnels keeps an internal affiliate on that brand, with its own status and commission group. That is the record you see in the brand's **Affiliates** list with the type **Internal**, and the one conversions are credited to. So an affiliate can be approved on one brand and still waiting on another. You can also link a brand's internal affiliates to the portal from the brand side; see [Internal affiliates](/affiliates/internal-affiliates). ## Related * [Internal affiliates](/affiliates/internal-affiliates): the brand side of the same affiliates. * [Affiliate postback URLs](/affiliates/postback-urls): postbacks you send to an affiliate's endpoint. * [Roles and permissions](/essentials/permission-matrix) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
