This article explains how to manually approve affiliate registrations for your affiliate program.
Use it when you want to review each affiliate before granting access to your program, instead of approving new registrations automatically.
If you prefer to review and approve affiliate registrations manually, you can disable the default automatic approval setting. This gives you full control over who joins your affiliate program.
Steps to Disable Automatic Approval
1. Access affiliation settings
Go to Sales → Affiliation
Open the Settings tab
2. Disable automatic approval
In the General settings sub-tab, disable the Automatic approval setting.
Click Confirm (bottom right) to save and apply your changes.
Steps to Approve Affiliates Manually
1. Access affiliate list
Go to Sales → Affiliation
Open the Affiliates tab
2. Locate affiliate registration requests
When a new affiliate registers and is pending approval, they will appear in your affiliate list with a Deactivated status.
3. Activate affiliate
Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) to the right of the affiliate whose registration you wish to approve, then select Activate affiliate.
The affiliate’s registration is approved, and they gain access to your affiliate program.
Once approved, the registration confirmation email configured in your affiliation email settings is automatically sent to the affiliate.
Customizing Registration and Welcome Emails
Once automatic approval is disabled, you can configure the emails sent during the manual registration process.
1. Registration confirmation email
This email is sent automatically after you approve the affiliate’s registration request. Use it to share key information such as login credentials and access instructions.
2. Welcome email
This email welcomes the new affiliate and provides essential onboarding information.

At this stage, automatic approval is disabled, and new affiliates must be manually approved before they can access your affiliate program.
