# Recruit & approve partners

> Share your signup link, invite partners directly, and approve or reject applications.

There are two ways partners join your programme — they apply through your public signup page, or
you invite them directly. Either way you control whether they're auto-approved or reviewed.

## Your public signup link

Every programme has a shareable signup link, shown on the **Partners** page and the affiliate
**Overview**. Share it anywhere — your footer, your customer emails, a "become an affiliate"
page. It resolves to a branded, conversion-optimised signup page (see
[The partner portal & branding](/affiliate/partner-portal)).

Depending on your approval mode, the page tells partners either that *"signups are approved
automatically and start earning immediately"* or that *"new applicants land in Pending for your
approval."*

## Invite a partner directly

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Partners → invite">
    On **Affiliate program → Partners**, use **Or invite a partner directly**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in their details">
    Email (required), name, an optional custom slug, and optional coupon codes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send">
    TrackRev creates the partner and a **pending** enrollment with a unique referral link. Approve
    them to make the link live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Approve or reject applications

When a programme reviews applications, new signups land in a **Pending review** section on the
Partners page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the applicant">
    Each row shows their name/email and *"Promotes on: …"* — the answer they gave to *"Where will
    you promote?"*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve or reject">
    * **Approve** activates their referral link and starts crediting their sales.
    * **Reject** declines the application (they can re-apply later).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Rejected or archived partners can re-apply as a fresh application. **Banned** partners cannot
  re-join — their signup shows *"This email can't join the program."*
</Note>

## The Partners table

Active partners appear in a table with: **Partner** (name/email, tax-form badge, where they
promote), **Campaign** (if you run several), **Referral link**, **Coupon**, **Ref. code**,
**Clicks**, **Sales**, **Revenue** and **Earned**. Coupon and referee codes are editable inline.

## Customers your partners referred

The **Customers** page auto-populates from partner-attributed sales — nothing to set up. It shows
each referred customer, who referred them, their orders, revenue, commission and first/last order
dates. Click a customer to open their [visitor journey](/revenue-attribution/visitors).
