Programs

What is a Program?

In Refgrow, a program represents a single affiliate program. Each program has its own:

• Unique tracking domain
• Commission structure
• Payment settings
• Affiliate dashboard
• Analytics and reporting

Creating a Program

To create a new program:

1. Navigate to your Refgrow dashboard
2. Click "Add New Program"
3. Enter your program name
4. Follow the onboarding steps to configure your program

Program Onboarding

Step 1: Configure Basic Settings

In the first step of onboarding, you will configure:

• Conversion tracking method
• Tracking domain
• Cookie lifetime (default is 30 days)
• Commission type (percentage)
• Commission value
• Commission duration (lifetime or period)

Step 2: Customize Appearance

In the second step, you can customize the look and feel of your affiliate dashboard:

• Primary and secondary colors
• Font color
• Affiliate title and description
• Toggle visibility of title, description, and daily stats
• Option to hide Refgrow branding

Step 3: Integration Setup

The final step involves setting up integrations for your affiliate program.

Program Settings

Optional Explicit Affiliate Enrollment

In Settings → General, the program owner can turn on Require affiliates to join explicitly. It is off by default. New visitors to either widget layout see the configured commission and payout terms with a Join affiliate program button. Loading the widget or verifying an email code does not register them; only clicking Join does. Existing affiliates keep their accounts.

Require payout details when joining is a separate switch, also off by default. When enabled for explicit enrollment, new applicants must choose one of your configured payment methods and provide account details. Configure your payment methods first. Otherwise they can add payout details later in their dashboard.

The optional Affiliate program terms URL adds a required acceptance checkbox to explicit enrollment. Refgrow saves the accepted URL and time with the affiliate. Without a URL, there is no checkbox. Identity verification and affiliate approval still apply; pending applicants receive no referral link or dashboard access until approved. Public portal signups also need the deliberate Join step when explicit enrollment is enabled.

Settings also shows an explicit enrollment funnel: invitation viewers, joined affiliates, first tracked clicks, and first sales. All counts use visitors first shown an invitation in the last 30 days and their activity through now; repeat events count once. First sales are tracked purchases with known currency and positive sale value remaining after refunds. Fully refunded, rejected, held, and unknown-value sales are excluded; partial refunds still count when positive value remains. Ordinary widget loads and link copies do not count as clicks or shares.
