# Find and Join Programs

> Browse the Affitor Marketplace, apply to a program in one click, and get approved.

Your first move after signing up: open the **Marketplace** and join a program. This is the step that turns a new account into an active partner.

## 1. Browse the Marketplace

Open the **Marketplace** from your dashboard, or go to **[affitor.com/marketplace](https://affitor.com/marketplace)**. It's public — you can browse programs before you even log in.

Each program card shows its commission rate, commission duration, and a short description, so you can compare before applying.

## 2. Open a program

Click any program to see its full details — commission terms, how long commissions last, and what the product does.

## 3. Apply

Click **Apply to Program**. The only field is an optional *"Why do you want to join?"* message.

:::tip

You can apply with **one click** — the message is optional. Don't let a blank field stop you.

## 4. Get approved

What happens next depends on the program:

- **Instant approval** — the program auto-accepts partners. You'll see a **"You're in"** confirmation with your referral link right away.
- **Manual review** — the brand reviews applications. You'll see **"Application sent"** and an **Applied** badge on the program card while you wait. Once the brand approves you, you're enrolled automatically.

:::note

Affitor doesn't email you at every step yet — check your dashboard for application status updates.

## What happens next

Once you're approved, you're enrolled in the program. Open it from your dashboard to **grab your referral link** — it's generated for you automatically.
