Affiliate is someone who can market your courses.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
โ€‹Important:

For now, you would have to add a user on your site as an Affiliate and assign the list of courses. i.e., There is NO public affiliate sign-up now (on the list for later).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can add new affiliate from Site -> People -> Affiliate

While adding a new Affiliate you will have an option "Send a Notification Email to the user (including a reset password link)" to notify the Affiliate.

If you select this option, the user will get a notification email sent with a reset password link. If you do not select this option, you would need to handle the emails yourselves in Automation or Broadcast.

The sample notification mail sends to the Affiliate will be as follows.

And you can edit this email content from Site -> Languages -> System emails.

After adding a new Affiliate you can click the Action: Edit button to update the affiliate details.

>> Under Affiliate -> Courses tab you can find the list of courses in which the Affiliate has enrolled.

And you can manually enroll in the courses if necessary.

>> Affiliate -> Purchases this section shows the details of courses that are purchased by the Affiliate.
