Affiliate Sign-Up

When setting up an affiliate program there may be key affiliates that should be pre-approved and onboarded by the merchant. For example, some media companies are happy to offer free advertising in exchange for revenue-share as long as it is properly trackable. The affiliate setup is ideal for this. But, if the sign-up process is complicated (like it currently is), it makes it hard for the media outlets to follow through and what could have been a successful and mutually rewarding campaign dies due to administrative complexities.

Agreed. Also, the current setup of asking new affiliates to create a store after verifying their accounts is causing most potential affiliates to abandon the process. Let store owners set up affiliates via the API or manually in their dashboards.
