The problem

Partners stop promoting what they cannot see

A partner who cannot see their clicks or their next payout starts to doubt the program. Emails about missing commissions follow.

A portal that carries another company's brand also makes your program feel like an afterthought.

How OpenPromoter solves it

A portal on your brand that shows the whole ledger

Partners sign in to a portal branded from your website. They see their links and every commission with its status and payout.

  • Links with sub-IDs and QR codes
  • Coupon codes to share
  • Earnings by status with a statement
  • Payout method and payout history
  • W-9, W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E forms
  • A content kit with their link filled in
  • A recruit link for new partners
  • Your own domain from Cloud Starter

How it works

  1. 01

    A partner applies

    They apply on your program page and answer your questions. Auto-approve rules can let them in at once.

  2. 02

    They get their links

    The portal gives them a code link, deep links with sub-IDs, a QR code and coupon codes.

  3. 03

    They follow every commission

    Each sale shows its status and the date it becomes payable.

  4. 04

    They get paid

    Partners pick a payout method and submit a tax form. Each payout comes with a self-billed invoice.

What partners see in the affiliate portal

The portal gives partners everything they need to promote you and get paid. They see every commission with its status.

  • Links and QR codes

    Code links, short links, deep links and a QR code for each.

  • Commission ledger

    Every commission with its status and the payout it belongs to.

  • Payout method

    Stripe Connect, PayPal or Wise from the ones you allow.

  • Tax forms

    W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E submitted in the portal.

  • Content kit

    Swipe copy, posts, emails and banners plus your own files.

  • Messages

    Direct messages and announcements from your team.

A white-label portal branded from your website

The portal looks like your product from the first visit. Brand extraction reads your logo, color and product description from your site. You review everything before publishing.

Link and text colors are darkened until they meet WCAG contrast. Run the portal on partners.yourapp.com from Cloud Starter or on any self-hosted instance. The Free plan shows an OpenPromoter badge.

An embedded referral dashboard inside your app

Customers can refer friends from inside your product without a second login. Your server mints a token that lasts one hour. The page renders one tag.

your-app.html
<script src="https://app.openpromoter.com/embed.js"></script>

<openpromoter-dashboard program="acme" token="TOKEN_FROM_YOUR_SERVER"></openpromoter-dashboard>

The dashboard shows the user's link with a copy button, clicks, customers referred and earnings. See the embed docs.

Applications and tiers

You control who joins and what each partner earns. A program can be public with an apply button, private or invite-only.

  • Applications

    Custom questions and auto-approve rules by risk score, website, country and email domain.

  • Tiers

    Each tier has its own rate. Partners move up when referred revenue crosses the line.

  • Custom rates

    Override the rate for one partner without a new tier.

  • Partner network

    Opt in to list your program in the public directory.

Something else? The docs cover every setting.

Can the affiliate portal run on my own domain?
Yes. A custom domain is included from Cloud Starter and on every self-hosted instance.
Is the partner portal white-label?
Yes. It uses your logo, brand color and product copy read from your website. Only the Free plan shows an OpenPromoter badge.
Do customers need a separate login for the embedded dashboard?
