As a vendor, you have already set up your affiliate referral program. You can manually add affiliates as advertising partners if you know their Digistore24 ID. This way, you can determine which affiliates are allowed to be advertising partners. You can set different products and referral commissions for each of them.
This method is suitable for recruiting selected affiliates as advertising partners or for setting up individual referral commissions.
If you want to recruit as many affiliates as possible with the same settings, see Provide invitation link as a vendor for the affiliate referral program.
Proceed as follows:
- Go to Account > Contracts in the vendor view.
- Open the Affiliate Referral Commissions tab.
- Click on Add button in the Advertising partners section.
- Enter the Digistore24 ID of the affiliate in the Partner field.
- Set a Referral commission.
- Click on Save. Other content is displayed below.
- In the Invite affiliates section, select any number of products to which the invitation link should apply. The displayed invitation link will adjust to what is selected.
- Select depending on the use case:
- Use the invitation link if you have selected the option Yes for Accept partnerships automatically in the product settings for all selected products.
- Use the protected invitation link if you have selected No for Accept partnership automatically in the product settings for at least one of the selected products. In this case, you would actually have to accept new affiliates manually for the respective product. However, the protected link contains a password, which automatically accepts the recruited affiliates.
- Send the selected invitation link exclusively to the advertising partner whose Digistore24 ID you entered initially. This is now at the end of both the invitation link and the protected invitation link:

Now everything is ready. Since you have entered the affiliate manually, they are already an advertising partner, even if they have not yet recruited any new affiliates. They only need to distribute the invitation link to possible target groups to recruit new affiliates. They can treat the invitation link like a promo link, i.e. they can use all the means they use to promote your products for distribution purposes. The advertising partner only receives a referral commission if a recruited affiliate successfully refers a product.
