# Partner FAQ

> Common questions about joining programs, referral links, tracking, and getting paid.

## Getting started

### How do I find programs to promote?
Browse the **[Marketplace](https://affitor.com/marketplace)**. It's public, so you can look before you log in. To apply, you'll need a partner account.

### Why don't I see any programs after signing up?
Make sure you verified your email and chose **Join programs**. Both are required before the Marketplace and applications unlock. See [Create your account](/docs/partners/quickstart/create-account).

### Do I need to write a pitch to apply?
No. Applying is one click: the **How will you promote it?** field is optional.

## Approval and links

### How long until I'm approved?
It depends on the program. **Auto-accept** programs approve you instantly. **Manual-review** programs are approved by the brand — you'll see an **Applied** badge while you wait, and you're enrolled automatically once they accept.

### What if my application is declined?
You can apply to other programs in the Marketplace anytime — there's no limit on how many you join.

### Where is my referral link?
It's created for you automatically when you're approved for the program. Open the program from **Programs** and select **Copy link**. See [Get your referral link](/docs/partners/quickstart/get-your-referral-link).

### How is a click credited to me?
Your link carries a unique code, as `?via=`, `?aff=` or `/r/` depending on the brand's setup. Affitor stores it in a first-party cookie on click and ties later signups and sales back to you.

## Getting paid

### How do I get paid?
Finish **Get ready to be paid** under **Your account** → **Payouts** (legal name, payout method and tax form), then withdraw from the **Payout** page when you have an available balance. See [Getting paid](/docs/partners/payouts).

### What payout methods can I use?
Wise, or a bank transfer (ACH in the US, BIC/SWIFT internationally), depending on your country and currency. PayPal is not supported.

### Do I need a tax form?
Yes, every partner signs one before the first withdrawal: W-8BEN (a person) or W-8BEN-E (a business) if you are not a US citizen or US tax resident, otherwise a W-9 that Affitor's accountant emails you to sign.

### Is there a minimum payout?
Yes, $20. You can withdraw any amount from $20 up to your available balance.

### How long do payouts take?
After a withdrawal is reviewed and marked sent, the time for the funds to arrive depends on your bank or Wise.
