Affiliate Registration
Prospective affiliates sign up through a public registration link. After they complete the flow, the request is sent to the admin for approval — the affiliate account is not active until an admin approves it.
- The Affiliate module must be enabled on your CMP deployment
- Share the registration URL only with partners you intend to onboard
Registration URL
Path: <BASE_URL>/affiliate/register
Example: https://portal.yourcompany.com/affiliate/register
Providers send this link to affiliates when the affiliate module is enabled.

Step 5 — Overview (registration complete)
Submission is sent to admin for approval.
The affiliate sees Registration Complete! with a message that details were submitted and admin will review and approve the account. CMP sends an email when the account is approved.
Affiliate registration does not activate the account immediately. An admin must approve the request and assign an Affiliate Program before the affiliate can log in.
After approval, the affiliate logs in at <BASE_URL>/affiliate/login, configures payout settings, and shares their referral link — Affiliate Workflow.
