This page is for merchants configuring how the affiliate portal looks to affiliates. Use Settings -> Portal Customization to set the portal’s branding, support and legal links, and whether search engines can index it. Save changes with Save portal customization.
Editable settings
- Portal name, Portal headline, and Portal description (up to 280 characters)
- Help URL, Terms URL, and Privacy URL
- Accent color (hex), Portal background, Panel background, and Primary text colors
- Upload logo (PNG, JPEG, or WEBP up to 2MB), Logo position, and Logo size; Remove current logo appears once a logo is uploaded
- Allow search engine indexing
These settings change the affiliate portal header and affiliate-facing pages. They do not change merchant dashboard branding.
Give affiliates instructions and resources
Open Campaigns, select a campaign, and choose Portal content from the Campaign actions menu to add guidance for the affiliates assigned to that campaign.
Use Instructions for affiliates for campaign rules, positioning, approved messaging, or the next step affiliates should take. Affiliates see the instructions on their Dashboard in Promote this campaign (or Share your promo code for promo-code-only programs).
Add up to 10 labeled HTTPS resource links for approved copy, brand guidelines, creative folders, product information, or training. Resources stay hosted where they are, so make sure each Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, or website link is shared with the right affiliates. AffiliateBase does not change the linked service’s access permissions.
Use the account-level Help URL for guidance that applies to every campaign. The Help URL, Terms URL, and Privacy URL appear as Help Center, Terms, and Privacy links in the portal navigation, not inside a campaign’s promote section on the Dashboard.
For promo-code-only programs, remind affiliates to share the code shown in Share your promo code on their Dashboard. The promo code is the primary sharing asset, so the portal does not show a referral link for that program.
Recommended defaults
- Keep indexing disabled for private affiliate programs
- Add help and legal URLs before inviting affiliates
- Use colors with enough contrast to read easily
Before you invite affiliates
Review the portal as an affiliate would see it:
- Confirm the portal name and headline are recognizable.
- Add support, terms, and privacy links if affiliates need them.
- Add campaign instructions and resource links in Campaigns -> select a campaign -> Campaign actions -> Portal content.
- Use the Help URL for account-wide support or onboarding guidance.
- Upload a logo only if it stays clear at small sizes.
- Keep color contrast high enough that dashboard text is easy to read.
- Leave search indexing off unless you want the portal to be public.
Search indexing
Allow search engine indexing controls whether search engines may index the portal. Keep it off for private programs, invite-only campaigns, or any program whose affiliate pages should stay out of search results.
When unchecked, AffiliateBase sends a noindex, nofollow signal on affiliate portal pages. Turn it on only when you want the portal to be public and its affiliate-facing copy is ready for search traffic.
