Step 2. Discuss the terms for working with your program with a manager

An Admitad manager will contact you to answer your questions and discuss the terms of cooperation.

Then the Admitad manager will send you a brief that you need to fill out and confirm in order to continue work.

In order to prepare the terms and conditions for working with your program for partners, you'll discuss and determine:

the results you want to achieve, e.g., increase the number of repeat sales, get new clients, or increase brand awareness
the type of target action you want to receive — "Lead" (registration or application made), "Sale" (an order made on your site), or "Click"
the size of the reward for publishers for target actions — either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the amount paid for an order
the types of traffic that publishers are allowed to drive to your website — formats and places for ads that you're prepared to allow publishers to use (e.g., social media, context and target ads, blogs, video channels, etc.)

The more types of traffic you allow in your program, the more partners will work with your program, i.e., the more effective working with Admitad will be for your company.

Step 3. Agree and sign a contract with Admitad

An Admitad manager will send you a contract template. Once all conditions for cooperation have been agreed, both parties will sign the contract.

Step 4. Set up your affiliate program

If you use account manager's services, they'll fill out the program settings for you. In this case, go to step 5.

If your company is registered in India, Portugal, or Brazil, choose a plan before setting up your program. How to do that

To set up your program:

fill out the general program settings — instructions
add information about the program (name, description etc.) — instructions
add rules for working with your program — instructions
enter permitted and prohibited traffic types — instructions
add target actions and set up rates — instructions
choose an appropriate integration technique and set it up — instructions

Step 5. Prepare your program for launch

Depending on the terms of cooperation and the region your company is located in, at this stage you may also be issued an invoice for additional services from Admitad.

Once integration is complete and your program has been set up, our employees will check everything again and launch your program.

Once your program has been launched, it'll be available to thousands of publishers all around the world. How to manage your affiliate program

Note:

If you're managing your program yourself, you won't be able to change certain settings after your program is launched. These limitations exist because publishers need to be warned about such changes in advance.
If you want to change settings, that are not available for editing:
- if you're managing your program yourself, you first need to send a request to Admitad support (support@admitad.com);
- if your porgram is managed by an account manager, ask them to make the changes.

Types of program management in Admitad

Advertisers in Admitad have an additional service available to them – manager support.

If you choose a rate that includes manager support, then you'll have support from a manager at all stages of working with your program. Our specialists will help you prepare your program for launch and will take on the management of your program according to your goals and objectives.
If you choose a rate without support, then you'll manage your program yourself.

We recommend choosing the rate with manager support at least during the initial period that your affiliate program is operational. The manager will help you or your employees get to grips with interacting with partners, managing the program and carrying out the main operations.

How to manage your affiliate program after launch

This information is for advertisers that manage their programs themselves. You can always pass on management of your program to an account manager — read more.

After launching your program, you'll need to:

- Corresponding instructions can be found in the Ad tools section.
Pay out program rewards to publishers in a timely manner – carry out verification of actions from publishers and track the program balance, so that publishers receive their reward for confirmed actions on time.
