Hide settings in the embedded affiliate portal

Use this when you embed the referral dashboard in your product and want affiliates to focus on their link and stats, without Settings entry points.

Standalone portal navigation is unchanged. Only the embedded experience respects this toggle.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • an Affonso program with the embedded referral dashboard set up
  • access to Affiliate Program → Appearance

Steps

1

Open Appearance Embed

Open Affiliate Program → Appearance and switch to the Embed tab.

2

Turn off Show settings controls

In the Referral Link features list, turn off Show settings controls.

Show settings controls toggle in Appearance Embed

The live preview hides the Settings control. Generated embed URLs include showSettings=false.

3

Deploy the updated snippet

Copy the updated integration snippet (or add showSettings=false to your existing iframe URL) and deploy it in your app.

What this hides

When showSettings=false:

  • the referral-link advanced Settings control in the embed
  • payout-settings navigation in the embed

Other visibility toggles (showHeader, showRewards, showReports, showResources, and the referral-link feature switches) stay independent.

Undo

Turn Show settings controls back on, or remove showSettings=false from the iframe URL. Omitting the parameter defaults to Settings visible.
