How do I view and manage my affiliate links?

This feature is currently in beta testing and is not available to all communities at the moment.


Creators/admins can invite members of their community to be a part of their affiliate program. Once you are invited, you will receive an affiliate link for which you can share with others. If someone becomes a supporter through your affiliate link, you will also be rewarded for this.


How do I get an invite?


This process is currently on an invite only basis. Only a creator can generate an affiliate link for you. You must also be a part of their community to be added. Once you are invited, you will receive an email notification with your affiliate link.


You will also be able to view your link and stats on Locals.
