I am in the process of partnering with a few social media influencers and using them to promote my brand. Two of them have requested I provide a "partner link", so they can tell their audience to visit www.stirguscreditrepair.com/(partner's name) and for each client who enrolls under their link, they get paid.

This sounds super easy, but the only issue is, I'm lost on doing this with the self service feature!

Issue #1: We have an affiliate program, but the affiliate will have to manually log into their portal and submit their lead. Now we have to email the client (due to TSR) and hope they respond back. This will not work and is very time consuming.

Issue #2: Within the affiliate portal, we can copy the affiliate code provided and create a "hidden page" on our website, just as we did for our partner at Down4Sound (click this link):

As you can see, I was able to create a link, with the partner's name in the URL. However, this is an issue because it does not work with the self service sign up flow and is linked to the old sign up form, in which we have to manually email the client their onboarding link (which usually goes to their spam folder or is ignored).

SOLUTION:

I need a way to create an affiliate/partner link for our website, with the partner's name in the URL (as I did above in issue #2) and have it setup to where a client can sign up with the self service feature and the affiliate is also shown as the referred source.

By being able to do this, referrals can sign up within minutes and automate this entire process!
