How to add affiliate program description in Admitad

We recommend watching this video, which makes it easier to understand and follow the process of adding the description of your affiliate program.

The description of your program is one of the key factors considered by publishers when deciding whether to join it or not.

Publishers can see program info in the following locations:

In the version of the catalog for unauthorized users, the information about your program is updated once a day.

Adding program info

The way you should do it depends on how the program is managed.

  • Your program is managed by a manager. In this case, ask your manager to add or edit your program's info.

  • You manage the program on your own. In this case, you add program info by yourself.

To add or edit program info, go to Program information (Program → Program profile → Program information).

Below you'll find some tips for filling out all the fields in this section.

Having filled out all the fields, click Preview and check what a publisher will see.

Name

Enter your company or brand name in the Name field. Your program will appear under this name in the Admitad Store catalog.

Tips:

  • Make sure the program name matches your brand's name. This will help publishers easily find your program using search. 
  • Don't add the project's brief description to the program name.
    • Wrong: Sindbad — cheap flight tickets online
    • Correct: Sindbad
  • Don't add the domain name (e.g., .com etc.) to the program name.  
    • Wrong: Aliexpress.com
    • Correct: Aliexpress

You can also indicate the region and payment model in the program name. These indications will help publishers quickly decide whether your program is relevant to them.

  • In the program name, you can indicate the region or regions where your program is available.

    This indication will help publishers find out from which regions traffic is allowed.

    Program regions Format Example
    1 region 1 two-letter region code Romwe US
    2-5 regions Two-letter region codes Perfumes Club ES DE IT FR
    5+ regions Enter Many GEOs. SHEIN Many GEOs
    Worldwide Enter WW* Rentalcars WW

    * You can use WW if your website or project is available in English alongside the local language. In this case, you should also add the program description and rules in English alongside the local language.

    If you start several standalone programs for various regions, specify the two-letter code of the corresponding region in the name of each program.

    If the program only allows orders from one or several cities, indicate the country code in the name and specify the cities in the program rules.

  • Adding postfixes with additional information in the program name

    Postfixes are used in programs of the categories Online games, Mobile games, Financial programs.

    You can also provide additional details in the program info, namely:

    • Payment model (see abbreviations below)
    • Operating system your app supports (e.g., iOS or Android)

    If you use a region code alongside a postfix, enter the program name in the format Name [postfix] {region code}.

    Allowed abbreviations:

Use a direct link without tags

 

Possible spellings of a program name

In the Alternative program names field, specify possible spelling variants separated by commas.

Also add spellings in transliteration, those containing the most common typos, those typed in various keyboard layouts, etc.
