Your first move after signing up: open the **Marketplace** and join a program. This is the step that turns a new account into an active partner. ## 1. Browse the Marketplace Open the **Marketplace** from your dashboard, or go to **[affitor.com/marketplace](https://affitor.com/marketplace)**. It's public — you can browse programs before you even log in. Each program card shows the commission in one line (for example *20% · 12 months*), how many partners have joined with the initials of its top partners, or **New program** when nobody has joined yet. On the right you see **Apply**, or **Joined** / **Applied** once you are in or waiting; a program your own brand runs says **Your program**. The **Affitor Refer Program** card says **Get link** where other cards say **Apply**: you refer brands to Affitor without applying (see [Refer a brand to Affitor](/docs/partners/quickstart/get-your-referral-link#refer-a-brand-to-affitor)). The **Featured** strip above the search box always starts with it. ### Search, sort and filter Search programs from the box above the cards. **Sort** orders the list by **Newest**, **Highest commission**, **Most partners** or **Longest cookie**. **Filter** narrows it by **Commission type** (recurring, one-time, per action), **Category** and **Cookie window** (30+, 60+ or 90+ days); you can tick several types and categories, and one cookie window. On a computer the menu shows how many programs each choice has. Your choices show as chips under the bar; remove one, or **Clear** them all. They are kept in the page address, so a reload or a shared link shows the same list. ## 2. Open a program Click any program to see its full details — commission terms, how long commissions last, and what the product does. ## 3. Apply Click **Apply to Program**. The only field is an optional *"Why do you want to join?"* message. :::tip You can apply with **one click** — the message is optional. Don't let a blank field stop you. ::: ## 4. Get approved What happens next depends on the program: - **Instant approval** — the program auto-accepts partners. You'll see a **"You're in"** confirmation with your referral link right away. - **Manual review** — the brand reviews applications. You'll see **"Application sent"** and an **Applied** badge on the program card while you wait. Once the brand approves you, you're enrolled automatically. :::note Affitor doesn't email you at every step yet — check your dashboard for application status updates. ::: ## What happens next Once you're approved, you're enrolled in the program. Open it from your dashboard to **grab your referral link** — it's generated for you automatically.
