This feature is only available for Business plans and above.

Where to find your program applications

In the Partner Program menu, click Applications to view your pending applications. We also show you a count badge, so you can see how many pending applicants you have at all times.

Program applications location

Applicant table

On your applications table, you'll be able to view key information, including:

  • The applicant's name
  • When they applied
  • Their provided location
  • Their website and social media profiles
Applications table

Click on any of the rows to view their profile and application form.

Partner application

When the application is open, we show additional information collected during the application process and their account creation. This is a good opportunity to get to know more about this partner and their background if they've provided it.

Application details

Online presence

During account creation, we allow the partners to provide their website and any social media accounts. As part of this, we also allow partners to verify each of these items to increase trust with their application. Verification isn't required, but encouraged as it reduces the time it takes to review applications.

Verified badge

If a partner has verified their website or social media accounts, a green check mark badge will be shown beside the item. In some scenarios, it will also show statistics from that verified account.

Approving applicants

There are 3 ways to approve pending applicants to your program:

When the application form is open, click Approve at the bottom of the screen.

Approve button

After clicking Approve, you'll be able to:

  1. Create a specific referral link for this partner
  2. Assign an existing link to this partner
  3. Generate a random referral link
Referral link

Once complete, click Approve, and the applicant is now part of your program.

If you have multiple applications, use the checkboxes to the left of each applicant to select any that are ready to be approved. You can also select all, by clicking the checkbox in the top left of the application table.

Select all

Once selected, click Approve to add them to your program instantly.

If you'd like to auto-approve any new pending applications, click the More drop-down in the top right of the Applications page and select Enable auto-approve.

Enable auto-approve

With auto-approve enabled, any new pending applications will be automatically approved for your program with no review period. Any existing pending applications will still need manual approval before being accepted.

You can disable this at any time by clicking the more drop-down again and select Disable auto-approve.

Disable auto-approve

Rejecting applicants

Similar to the approval process, you can reject an application from the applicant form or use bulk selection for more than one applicant at a time. When an applicant is rejected, they cannot reapply for 30 days, and they will see the status reflected in their dashboard.
