Avelon wins Best Value, Best Functionality & Features, Best Ease of Use and Best Customer Support on Capterra. Affiliate onboarding guide
If you’ve just joined Avelon as an affiliate, this guide will show you not just how the platform works, but how to best use the platform to drive sales through your online audience.
The above video is a guide on how to use the platform by our founder, Andrew. You’ll learn how to complete your profile, how to apply to affiliate programs, where to find all your assets and how to sync your bank account.
Signing into your Account
To sign into your account, just click Sign in on the top right hand corner of the Avelon website. You’ll be prompted to enter the email address and password you used when you signed up.
If you have not confirmed your email via clicking ‘confirm account’ on an email from us, you will not be able to sign in. Please find the email from hello@avelonetwork.com and confirm your account.
Completing your profile
Completing your profile is the most important step when signing up to Avelon. Brands/Retailers/Merchants make decisions on whether they want to work with you or not based on the amount of information you enter on your profile.
We highly recommend completing your profile as soon as you sign up. This includes adding a profile picture, all your social media URLs and bio about you.
Applying to programs
To apply to a program, go to Opportunities and scroll through the list of programs which are currently open for application. You can use the filters to find a category which applies to you, or sort by to find the newest, highest commission etc.
Accepting invites
If you have been invited to join a program, you will be emailed and a notification will appear in the platform. To accept this invitation, you’ll need to:
- Click My Retailers > Invitations
- Click Accept or Deny on the invitation
Discount codes & links
When you have been accepted into an affiliate program, Avelon will automatically assign your affiliate link to you. This will be sent to you via email and also be available through Dashboard > My Links.
If the program in question offers discount codes, you will also be sent the discount code via email. It will also be available in the Promo codes tab in the menu.
Accessing product feeds
If you’ve signed up as an affiliate but want to access product feeds outside of our sub-network integrations, you’ll need to change your affiliate type to publisher. To do this, please email the Support Team with your request.
Once you’ve been changed to a publisher, you can access all product feeds for programs you have been approved into. Access to product feeds are available through either a simple download or through an API endpoint.
To access the simple downloads, just head to the brands profile and click Download feed. You can also find the URL by right clicking and copying the URL address. To access our API endpoint which allows you to call feeds for programs you have been approved into, please contact the Support Team.
Reaching out to Brands
When you have completed your profile and requested verification, you will be able to start speaking to brands via our Chat function. The Chat function is restricted to verified affiliates or affiliates who have been accepted into a specific program. For example, if you are not verified but have been accepted into SunGod’s affiliate program, you will be able to chat with SunGod via the Chat function.
Getting paid
If you want to get paid for the commissions you earn, you’ll need to sync your bank details with our payment system. To do this, go to Account > Connect bank account and follow the steps on the screen. You will be asked for your full name, address, bank account details and then be asked to confirm your identity.
Payouts for commissions are processed at the end of the following month. Please bare this in mind when completing your bank account sync, as you will not receive payments for commissions earned in the same month. For example, if you earn £100.00 of commission from sales in November, you will receive these payments on the 31st December.
Avelon pays out across the globe, but automated payments are only available through the UK and European Union. Payments for affiliates based outside of these regions and transferred through our WISE integration.
WISE will send you an request to fill in your bank details to retrieve your earned commissions at the end of each month. This request will be sent to the email you have on your account.`
