Affiliate Codes help you monitor which supporters are bringing in donors for your organization. When someone shares an Affiliate Code, any donations made through that link will be credited to the referring supporter.

Affiliate Codes are recorded in the supporter’s profile and can be shared through a standard affiliate link, donation affiliate link, sponsorship affiliate link or custom donation form link depending on what your organization wants to monitor. After use, you can track these through the Donation Details Report.

Where to Find Affiliate Codes#

In REACH, each supporter has an Affiliate Code that is automatically generated by REACH and is displayed in their Supporter record under the Details tab in the Basic Info section.

To obtain the Affiliate links, click on the Affiliate Code. The following screen will appear:

Copy and share the link you wish you track. You can monitor these referrals in the Donations Details Report.

Using Affiliates on Custom Donation Forms#

REACH also allows you to create a custom donation form that can be attributed to a specific supporter.

Here’s how:

• Go to Settings > Donation Forms
• On the top right, click on Create Custom Donation Form Link
• Fill out your parameters. For more information, view our Setting Donation Parameters article.
• In the Select Affiliate field, start typing the name of your supporter and it will auto-populate the filed.
• When all parameters are entered, click Generate Link to receive a Custom Donation Form Link and a Custom Embeddable Donation Form link.
• Alternatively, click Generate QR Code for a qr code to be downloaded to your computer that links to the custom donation form.
• Share the link, embed the form or share the QR code to track all donations made using this custom form to the Affiliate.

How to Track Affiliate Codes#

You can track any donations made using the Affiliate Code by running a Donation Details Report.

• Go to Reports > Donation Details Report.
• Under Select Columns to Display, be sure Affiliate is checked.
• Then generate your Donation Details Report.

Any donations that were made using the Affiliate Code will be shown under the Affiliate column.

Affiliates are also shown on the individual Donation Details page.
