Affiliate & creator program application portal

An affiliate program portal is where creators sign up as affiliates, the partnerships team approves or rejects each one with a reason, and approved affiliates track their own commission payouts month by month.

Pattern: Tracking

How Pory sets it up

Pory gives every affiliate and partnerships manager a sign-in of their own. Each affiliate sees only their own affiliates. It covers signups & payout tracking. Affiliates, payouts, documents and checks, campaigns, banners and photos and trailhead partnerships live in Pory's own database, so there's no spreadsheet to keep in sync.

What it does

01

Creators sign up as affiliates on their own, no invite needed

Affiliate applications used to come through a contact form, and someone created each account by hand once they'd said yes. In Pory a blogger or YouTuber creates their own account from the sign-up page and lands in the Affiliate role, then adds their channel and audience for review. Nobody on the team sets up logins one at a time.

02

The partnerships manager approves good-fit creators and tells the rest why

Vetting creators used to mean a spreadsheet of links and a gut feeling nobody wrote down. The partnerships manager opens an application, checks the channel, platform, audience size and the analytics the creator uploaded, and approves or rejects it with a reason on the record. Rejected creators get a real answer, and the next person on the team can see why.

03

Affiliates see each month's commission and whether it has gone out

"When's my payout?" used to be the most common email in the affiliate inbox, month after month. In Pory each affiliate signs in and sees only their own payouts: the date, referred orders, commission and status, from pending to paid. Finance marks a payout paid once it's sent, and the question answers itself.
