Afilliate Links

I would love to have the ability to add a unique link to each affiliate that they can post on their site, or send to their list that allows their clients to sign up via the client self-service signup but gives them credit. This way it streamlines the referral process for our affiliates. I have several agencies that don't want to enter client information into a portal, just have a link to send a referral.

Referral to Links

Hello, I highly recommend that CRC adds the ability for affiliates to use referal links in addition to uploading leads into their portals. This would be a HUGE help and would result in much more leads from affiliates.

If I remember correctly, previously there was an option to upload a link to the affiliate's website or the affiliate could log into our affiliate portal.
However, this request sounds like the same type of link that we have as CRC affiliates, which would be great.

I agree, affiliates doesn't want to do any extra work (login to input leads themselves).

affiliate links for self service feature

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!

Thank you for posting, Daryl Price! I have a few more questions for you:
- How would you like the affiliate links to be tracked and reported back to the affiliates?
- What specific information should be included in the referral link for tracking purposes?
- Are there any specific integrations or platforms that the affiliate links need to be compatible with?

Thank you for your reply. I am hoping this happens soon.
- I figured each affiliate would have their own link with appropriate meta tags so that anyone who uses that to signup gets applied to them the same way it does if they used the affiliate portal.
- Just meta data that will assign them to that specific affiliate as a referral.
- No, just a URL they can copy and paste.
