Inviting Affiliates to a Specific Group

How to generate and share invite links that automatically assign new affiliates to a group

Groups let you organize affiliates and assign different commission structures. With group invite links, new affiliates are automatically added to the right group when they sign up - no manual assignment needed.

Looking to invite individual affiliates? See Inviting New Affiliates for email invitations with full control over name, tracking ID, and group assignment.

  1. Go to Affiliate Program > Groups in your dashboard
  2. Click on the group you want to invite affiliates to
  3. Click the "Share Invite Link" button (top right)
  4. Copy the link or share it directly via email/social media

When affiliates sign up using this link, they're automatically assigned to that specific group.

The invite link includes a group parameter that identifies which group to assign:

If you have a custom domain configured, it will use that instead:

https://partners.yourcompany.com/?group=abc123-def456

Use Cases

Group invite links are ideal when you have different types of partners with different commission structures:

Influencer Partners

Create an "Influencers" group with higher commission rates (e.g., 30%) and share that invite link when reaching out to content creators on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.

Blog & Content Partners

Set up a "Blog Partners" group with standard commissions (e.g., 20%) for bloggers, review sites, and content publishers who drive traffic through written content.

Integration Partners

Create an "Integration Partners" group for SaaS companies, agencies, or developers who integrate your product into their workflows. These partners often warrant premium commission rates due to their high-value referrals.

What Happens When an Affiliate Signs Up

  1. Affiliate clicks your group invite link
  2. They're redirected to the sign-up page
  3. After completing registration, they're automatically added to the specified group
  4. They inherit the group's commission structure and settings

Sharing Options

The share modal gives you multiple ways to distribute your invite link:

  • Copy Link - Copy to clipboard for pasting anywhere
  • Email - Opens your email client with a pre-filled message
  • Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - Share directly on social media

Pro Tip: Combine group invite links with custom incentives per group to create tiered partner programs with different reward levels for each partner type.
