Join & sign in

This page covers everything about getting into your partner portal: applying to a program, activating your account, signing in, and the short setup you do the first time.

Applying to a program

Some programs let you apply through a public application page. You fill in a short form (your company, your contact details, and anything else the program asks), then submit. You’ll see a confirmation with a reference, and the program reviews your application. If you’re accepted, you get an invitation email to set up your account.

If your program invited you directly, you can skip straight to activation below.

Activating your account

When a program adds you, you receive an invitation email. Open it and follow the link to activate. You choose how you’ll sign in from then on:

• Sign in with Google, if your work account is on Google.
• Set an email and password.

Once you’ve done that, you’re taken into the portal, straight to anything that needs your attention first (an agreement to sign, or the short setup below).

Signing in

Once you’re activated, sign in with whichever method you set up. Depending on your program you may have up to three options:

• Google: one click, if you activated with Google.
• A one-time link: enter your email and you’ll get a sign-in link. No password to remember, and it works across devices.
• Email and password: if you set a password.

If a sign-in link expires before you use it, just request another. If a password isn’t working, use the one-time link instead or reset your password.

Your first-time setup

The first time you sign in, the portal walks you through a short setup before you reach your dashboard. It only shows you the steps that apply to you, so you may see all of these or just a few:

1. 1Sign any required agreementsIf your program needs you to sign an agreement first, you'll do that before anything else. See Sign agreements.
2. 2Add your tax detailsThe tax form you need to be paid, at the personal level, the organization level, or both, depending on how you're paid.
3. 3Add a payout methodWhere your money should go. See Get paid for the full walkthrough.
4. 4Invite your teamIf you can manage a team, add colleagues so they can use the portal too. You can always do this later.

You can skip the optional steps and come back to them from your profile whenever you’re ready. You won’t be able to be paid until your tax form and payout method are in place, so it’s worth finishing those.
