Ainfluencer for Affiliate Creators

Affiliate earning on Ainfluencer has a quick door in the creator app and a full toolkit in the affiliate app. This guide walks the toolkit in order, from the approved platform you need, to links and reports, to the Stripe payout 35 days after a sale.

Stop 1

Two doors into affiliate earning

Affiliate earning has two parts. The Ainfluencer app is the quick door for brand campaigns. The affiliate app is the full toolkit, with its own login at affiliate.ainfluencer.com.

  • The two share one account, matched by email. Using an affiliate feature in the Ainfluencer app creates your affiliate account for you.
  • A password created that way is random. To open affiliate.ainfluencer.com directly, use Forgot password? with the same email.
  • Affiliate commission never goes into your Ainfluencer wallet. It is paid through Stripe.
  • If you have a seller profile too, the user menu has a Change Panel switch. Each panel has its own short setup the first time.

The brand side of the same system is in Ainfluencer for Affiliate Managers. A plain explanation of campaigns is in How Affiliate Campaigns Work for You.

Your account and the approved platform you need

Everything that starts a new partnership needs one thing: at least one approved promotion platform. Get that first.

  1. Register with your name, email and a password of at least eight characters with upper case, lower case and a number.
  2. Open the verification link in the email within one hour.
  3. Verify your phone with a six digit code. It is valid for three minutes. The phone’s country decides the country of your Stripe payout account, so use your own.
  4. Add at least one promotion platform and a category for each.
  5. Optionally connect Google or Facebook for quick login, answer the questions and finish your profile.

  • You need one Verified platform to apply for a partnership, accept an invitation or create a new link. Pending, Waiting for approval and Rejected do not count.
  • Browsing Discovery, lists and pins work without one. Existing partnerships and links keep working if you later lose your last approved platform.
  • Instagram login sometimes ends on an error page. Try again, or add Instagram through manual verification.
  • X is listed as coming soon. Amazon login is not available in the affiliate app.
  • Phone verification is not offered for Pakistan, India, Russia, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, Sudan or Syria.

Discover products and brands

Discovery is the landing page after login. What you see depends on the platform chosen in the header, an Amazon marketplace or Shopify.

PageWhat it shows
ProductsActive products with a price, in stock first and newest next. Filter by category, brand, seller and price. Each card shows commission and Partnered or Not partnered
Brands (Stores on Shopify)Average commission, active contracts, number of products and a View Terms link
Seller profileCommission paid, revenue, clicks, sales units and conversions, with Apply For Partnership
My ListsSave products or brands, create your own lists, or duplicate a system list as your own
  • A product that a seller deactivates disappears from Discovery, and sales after that earn nothing.
  • The same product from several sellers appears once.
  • System lists marked Ain List cannot be edited. Use Duplicate as Manual to make a copy you can change.
  • To reach a brand, use the Ainfluencer chat. The affiliate app’s own message buttons are not a supported channel.

Partner with a brand

A partnership is the contract that makes your links earn. Without an active contract a link earns nothing.

ActionWhat it doesWhen it works
Generate LinkApplies for one or more products at the default commission. You may propose a percentage where the seller approves by handNeeds a Verified platform
Apply For PartnershipApplies for a whole brand or store, with an optional messageWith automatic approval it covers every product at the default commission, including ones added later
PromoteOne click join that returns a link at onceOnly brands with automatic approval. Others need Apply For Partnership
Accept an invitationJoins a seller who invited youNeeds a Verified platform. Rejecting is always allowed and cannot be undone
  • You cannot hold two open requests or two active contracts for the same product.
  • Under Partnership the tabs are Invitations, Partnered, Applications, Revoked and Rejected. Cancel Application withdraws a request that is still pending.
  • Revoke ends an active contract. Your links for those products stop at once, and shoppers follow your redirect settings.
  • The seller sets the commission. If they change it, it changes on your existing contracts and on sales not yet billed.
  • You can reapply after a revoke. A product’s default link comes back at the same address, but other links from before stay off.
  • A manual revoke sends no notice to the other side, so say so in the chat.

Join a campaign from the Ainfluencer app

Brands that run an affiliate campaign through Ainfluencer put their products in one place. Joining takes one tap.

  1. Choose your Active account in the selector, then open the campaign from Explore, the Affiliate tab or a brand profile.
  2. Look at the commission on each product, the requirements and the earnings slider.
  3. Tap Generate Link. The partnership is approved automatically and links are made for every product that has none.
  4. Use Copy My Link on each product and share it in your bio, stories and videos.
  5. Open Link analytics to see clicks, sales, earnings and payouts over 7, 30 or 90 days or all time.
  • The app checks the account you have selected. A draft, pending or suspended account is told why it cannot generate links. Switch to an Active one.
  • The very first join may fail once, while your accounts reach the affiliate side. Wait a few minutes and try again.
  • If you already promote one of the products under another campaign or product partnership, it moves to this campaign. Your link stays the same and earlier sales keep their old commission. Products held through a whole brand partnership are not moved.
  • When a campaign ends, its contracts are revoked the next night at 02:00 UTC and the links stop earning.
  • Commission is set by the brand. Message the brand in the Ainfluencer chat to discuss it.

Landing templates and your branded page

You control how a link looks and what your public shop page shows.

Sliders per templateUp to 3Each has a title
Products per sliderUp to 10Only products you hold links for
Featured products on your branded pageUp to 3Assign Featured Products on the Landing Templates page
  • Every new affiliate gets a starting template and a branded page. Copy Link on the branded page copies its public address.
  • The page lists the default links of products that are active. Tick Set this link as default when you make a new link.
  • Deleting a template moves its links to your default template.
  • This storefront is also the Landing choice in your redirect settings.

Reports and what the numbers mean

Reports sit under More, then Reports. Pick the platform in the header first.

TabBreaks the numbers down by
PerformanceDate range: clicks, conversions, average conversion rate, sales and commission
Brand (Store on Shopify)Each brand

SourcesThe sources you chose when creating links
LandingsThe landing template used
  • Amazon numbers come from Amazon attribution reports. They are pulled at 06:00 UTC for stores whose last pull is over 72 hours old, covering the last 60 days, so recent days arrive one to three days late and can change.
  • Shopify numbers come from a tracking pixel in the seller’s store and arrive as they happen.
  • Shopify commission is worked out for purchases from early October 2026 onward. Earlier Shopify purchases show 0 and are not recalculated.
  • Report commission is gross, before the platform fee, and includes sales not yet billed.
  • The Demo Data switch at the top of each report shows sample numbers. Keep it off.
  • Export Data As CSV downloads the report you are looking at.
  • The dashboard card Upcoming Payments shows all-time sales and revenue, and Remaining, which is commission on sales over 35 days old that is not yet billed.

Your plan and what ends a partnership

The affiliate app has its own plans, separate from brand plans.

  • These limits are shown but are not stopped when you use the app. They are applied when a paid plan ends.
  • When you downgrade or cancel, the change happens at the end of the period you paid for. Until then Resume Plan undoes a cancellation.
  • At that moment extra contracts above the new limit are revoked, lowest sales first, and extra templates are deleted with their links moved to your default template.
  • A paid plan does not change the platform fee, which depends on the brand’s plan.

Questions affiliate creators ask

It says I need an approved social media account.

Open Edit Profile, then Manage Platforms, and add a platform. Logging in verifies it at once. A manual check takes up to 12 hours. Then try again.

My account is approved on Ainfluencer but pending here.

Accounts are copied over automatically, usually within minutes. Open the affiliate app from Ainfluencer once more and check again shortly.

A product I promoted disappeared from Discovery.

The seller deactivated the product or brand. Inactive items are hidden and earn nothing from that point.

Promote gives an error.

One click Promote works only for brands that approve partners automatically. Use Apply For Partnership for the others.

My link sends people to my storefront.

That is your redirect setting working. The link, product or promotion is no longer available, and Landing sends shoppers to your page.

Where is my money?

Not in your Ainfluencer wallet. Commission is paid through Stripe about 35 days after the sale, and only once Stripe is connected under Billing.

The amount in Stripe is lower than my commission.

The platform fee, usually 5%, is taken from the commission.

From first login to first payout

The affiliate route in order.

1Register, verify your email and phone.
2Add one promotion platform and get it to Verified.
3Connect Stripe under Billing so sales are not left waiting.
4Join a campaign in the Ainfluencer app, or partner with a brand in Discovery.
5Make links with a source for each place you share.
6Pick a landing template and set your redirect rules to Landing.
7Share, then watch Reports.
8Wait for sales to reach 35 days, then check Commission Payments History.
