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:
- Program card in the Admitad Store catalog
- Program page
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).
