For the partner and advertiser signup process, filling out the company and user information is often not enough to deem the account as a solid partner for your company. Before the user completes the signup process, it is usually best practice to have the account provide more information about their marketing experience, what channels they market to, and how much traffic they expect to send. Advertisers can disclose their experience with performance marketing and any info on how they plan to pay out for their offers, etc. Industry Basics
You can add additional fields to your partner and advertiser signup pages so they can provide this information along with anything else you want to obtain from them before they access your platform. These fields can be very useful when approving or rejecting an account.
Partner Sign-Up Questions
When prospective partners come to your signup page, you can add custom questions they will fill out at the bottom after supplying their account and user information. Often, these questions will be pertinent to their experience with performance marketing and the type of traffic they work with.
These questions are not added by default to your partner signup page. Still, they can quickly be added and managed in your admin account by going to Company > Customize Application and clicking “Partner Sign Up Questions” in the Content panel.
Here, you will see a table where your existing questions will go at the bottom, with a new signup question creator panel at the top. To add a new question, enter the question text (ex. “What is your main advertising source?”) In the ‘question field. Below, select if you want to make this question required to be answered. If the partner submits the form without selecting or providing an answer, an error will appear, requiring the user to complete the form.
There are three question types that you can select from: an open input field, a Yes/No option, and a multi-select dropdown. If you want the applicant to provide a more open-ended response, use the ‘Text’ option, and a text input field will appear. If you want them to answer a more simple yes/no question, the ‘Yes/No' option will do this. If you want the applicant to select from a list of limited options, for example, a number range, then the ‘Select Box’ is the ideal type. When this is selected, put each option on a new line, and the system will add them to a select field:
Click ‘Add’ below to add the new question to the list of current questions.
You can manage the list of current questions by clicking ‘Edit’ to change any settings or edit the question or options. If you want to remove a question from the signup form but don’t want to delete it outright, click ‘Pause,’ which will remove it from the form. Click ‘Resume’ to reactivate a paused question. You can delete a question outright by clicking ‘Delete’ on the far right.
Offer Sign-Up Questions
On top of company signup questions, you can add additional signup questions for partners when they apply for specific offers. This is an optional feature that you can enable for specific offers. This setting goes in tandem with partners applying for an offer and being manually approved by an admin. To enable this feature at the offer level, go to Company > Customize Application and click ‘Offers’ in the Settings panel. Next, ensure the ‘Require Approval’ setting and Save are enabled.
Next, go to the offer profile for which you want to enable additional offer signup questions and click ‘Edit’ in the Settings panel on the right. Set the ‘Require Approval’ setting to Enabled and click Save. You will notice that a link will appear under the setting that will take you to the offer approval questions page, where you can add questions that will provide a simple text input response field for partners.
You can view the application and its responses by going to Offers > Offer Applications and clicking ‘View Responses.’
Offer Approval Questions for All ‘Require Approval’ Offers
If you plan on adding a similar question for all required approval offers, you can save some time by creating ‘global’ offer approval questions. When you have an offer set to require approval, the global offer approval questions will appear when the partners apply for the offer.
To add global offer approval questions, go to Company > Customize Application. In the Content section, click on ‘Offer Approval Questions’. On the next page, you can view existing global questions at the bottom table and add new ones at the top. The same functionality exists here as in the offer-specific questions; the only difference is that the questions here will appear in all required approval offers.
