We release a steady stream of updates that bring new features to our merchants.

The one area that we have wanted to take to the next level for our merchants is the UI/UX of our platform and this includes the affiliate portal.

Platform UI

We have redesigned the user interface to make it easier for you to find settings and options.

This lays the foundation for some long term plans we have for SureCart.

Affiliate Platform Changes

As you know, we have been refactoring our entire affiliate feature.

This month, we added the affiliate management experience to the plugin, making everything seamless and integrated.

Now is the time to level up the remaining parts of the affiliate platform.

Our objectives with the changes are to:

• Make the affiliate portal branded to the merchant
• Simplify the affiliate signup process
• Simplify the affiliate login process

Affiliate Portal

For the affiliate portal, we are keeping this hosted for you, so there is one less thing for our merchants to be distracted by.

The affiliate portal will now have this new elegant design that is dedicated to your brand. This means no more store switchers.

Important: The login URL is changing to yourstore.surecart.com.

In the case of ZipWP, the new login will be zipwp.surecart.com

We suggest updating any login links you may have on your website as well as notifying your affiliate partners. If your existing affiliates log into the old location, they will be shown a notice with the correct login URL.

Affiliate Signup

We spent time to simplify the affiliate signup process.

The old flow was:

• Affiliate signs up
• Merchant approves or has auto approve on
• Affiliate gets an email to register their account and create a password

The problem with this was affiliates would be confused by the email to register.

The new flow is:

• Affiliate signs up
• Merchant approves or has auto approve on
• Affiliate logs in via an emailed security code

So we eliminate the registration step and automatically complete the setup for them.

Affiliate Login

The affiliate login has a new elegant look and simplified login.

Now affiliates can log in with a security code we will email them, ensuing a smooth and secure login process.
