Your first partner

Two ways to get partners

• Add one yourself. In Partners, press Add partner. Three steps: Who (email, name, Partner ID, company, country), Program (tier, manager, tags) and Invite. Their login is ready at once: you can copy the invite link, or have it emailed to them.
• Let them sign up. Turn on the sign-up in Settings › Partner program › Sign-up & approval. Your sign-up page asks your questions and your terms; new partners wait for your approval, or are enabled at once if you choose so.

The Partner ID

Every partner has a Partner ID, a short text such as jane-doe. It goes into their tracking links, so it cannot be changed later. HitCTRL suggests one from the name; change it before you save if you want another.

What the partner gets

• An invite to set their password and sign in to their portal, under your logo and colours.
• Their links for every offer they may promote, with their own sub IDs.
• Their hits, conversions, balance and payments, live.

Good to know

• A partner can be paid only when they have a payout method and billing details. See Ready to pay.
• You can open a partner's portal as them to see what they see: Log in as partner on their page.
