# Get Your Referral Link

> Find, copy, and share your tracked referral link, generated automatically when you join.

Your referral link is the URL you share. Every click and sale through it is credited to you. You don't have to create it: Affitor generates it for you.

## Where to find it

Your referral link is created automatically the moment you're approved: no button to press, no setup. Open the program from **Programs** to find it.

If you don't see a link, the brand hadn't set a website for the program when you were approved, so no link was created. Once the brand saves a valid website, open the program again from **Programs**: the page creates your link on that visit.

**Copy link** at the top of the program's page copies it. Your links are also under **Top links** on **Overview** and on the **Links** tab, where **Create link** adds another.

## What your link looks like

Your link points at the brand's site with your tracking code attached. It takes one of these forms, depending on the brand's setup:

```text
https://brand.com/r/YOURCODE
https://brand.com?via=YOURCODE
https://brand.com?aff=YOURCODE
```

The `/r/` form is used when the brand has set up a short-link redirect on their site; otherwise the link uses the program's parameter, `?via=` or `?aff=`. All of them track the same way. The code is unique to you. When someone visits through it, Affitor records the click in a first-party cookie and ties any later signup or sale back to you. If the visitor was already referred by another partner, they stay credited to that first partner.

## Share it

Drop your link anywhere you reach an audience: content, social posts, communities, newsletters, or direct outreach. There's nothing else to install.

:::tip

Share the same link everywhere. Affitor tracks every click and conversion on it, so you can watch performance build in your dashboard.

## Refer a brand to Affitor

Refer a brand has its own link, separate from your program links: `affitor.com/r/<username>` once you set a username, otherwise `affitor.com/r/<your-code>`. There is nothing to apply for. Get it on your **Referrals** page with **Get my link**, or with **Refer a brand → Get my link** on the Marketplace. On the brand side, **Settings** → **Refer a brand** shows the same link and the brands you referred, and **Refer a brand** in the account menu opens **Referrals**. **Set a username** (or **Edit username**) under the link opens [your username](/docs/partners/account-settings#username).

When you are signed in, the **Affitor Refer Program** card (**Get link**), its slide in the **Featured** strip, and **Get your referral link** on its program page open **Referrals** with your link already loaded.

A brand that opens it lands on Affitor's home page with "**your name** invited you" above an email field to start sign-up. A brand that signs up through it is credited to you under the [Affitor Refer Program terms](https://affitor.com/legal/refer-program).

### Invite a brand by email

**Invite via email**, next to **Copy** on **Referrals** and on the brand side's **Settings** → **Refer a brand**, sends your link for you. In **Invite a brand**, type up to 5 addresses in **Send to**, check the **Preview**, and select **Send invite**.

- Affitor sends the email from `noreply@affitor.com`, with the subject "**your name** invited you to Affitor"; replies go to your email. Its **Start your program** button opens your Refer a brand link.
- Each address can be invited once every 30 days, whoever sends the invite. An address that already runs a brand on Affitor, or that is not valid (including your own), is not sent.
- You can invite up to 20 addresses in 24 hours, skipped ones included. Past that, the dialog says "You've reached today's invite limit. Try again tomorrow."
- After sending, a message lists who got the invite and why any address was skipped.

## What happens next

As people click and convert, your **Clicks**, **Signups**, **Paid signups**, **Revenue** and **Commission** fill in on the program's **Overview**. Track them to learn what's working.
