There are two primary ways for affiliate entry to be approved. One is through automatic approval, and the other is via manual approval.
Manual approval is the acceptance process that an affiliate goes through before becoming a part of an affiliate program. It’s a process that every affiliate goes through. The merchant looks through all the applications by different affiliates to join their affiliate program before approving them manually. During this process, some of the factors considered in an affiliate are their identity, financial status, etc.
The process may be laborious for the merchant involved, but it ensures that they have properly vetted the affiliate before promoting their products through them. The affiliate team may take about 90 seconds to confirm the validity of an affiliate’s application to be sure that it meets up with their requirements. They check their application for the reverse look of the affiliate’s phone/address, their domain ownership, etc. They also send an email to the affiliate asking for more details if the need arises.
