LeadDyno offers you the ability to auto-approve affiliates on signup or to require they are manually approved. By default, all affiliates are auto-approved. The following guide will show you how to require affiliate approval and view, approve, or reject affiliate applications. 

Require affiliate approval

To require affiliate approval visit Website - Settings. 

1. Click the checkbox Affiliates Require Approval?

2. Enter an optional Pending Affiliate Message and click Save all Changes at bottom of the page.

If you added the Pending Affiliate Message it will appear on a page after an affiliate signed up for your program. 

View Affiliate Applications

To check pending affiliates visit Affiliates - Manage. Then, you can select to view only Pending affiliates from the "Status" filter.

Approve Affiliate Applications

To approve affiliates, click on the pending affiliate's name or email and then select to change their status from "Pending Approval" to "Approved".

Reject Affiliate Applications

To reject affiliates, click on the pending affiliate's name or email and then select to change their status from "Pending Approval" to "Archived".

When an affiliate is rejected, they will NOT receive any notification that the application was declined. You can view the Rejected affiliates by selecting only "Archived" affiliates from the "Status" filter. Once rejected, the affiliate can not be approved at a later time. They would need to reapply using a different email address. 

Custom Application Fields

To get additional information about each affiliate when they sign up, consider adding Custom Fields. It will allow you to ask affiliates different questions during the signup process. To enable this feature and add fields view our guide on adding Custom Fields to your signup form.
