How do I become an Affiliate of a product on Hotmart?

If you want to promote digital products and earn commissions from sales, the first step is to become an Affiliate of a product available on Hotmart.

In this article, you'll learn how to enable your account to become an Affiliate, find products in the Affiliate Marketplace, request an affiliation, and track the status of your requests.
 

Before requesting an affiliation

To become an Affiliate of a product, you need to have a Hotmart account. If you don't have one yet, create your account for free.

If you've already made a purchase through Hotmart, you don't need to create a new account. Check out the article How do I register my documents on Hotmart? to learn how to enable your account and start selling.
 

How do I find a product to promote?

Once your account is ready, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Hotmart account at https://app.hotmart.com/.
  2. From the left-hand menu, click Products > Affiliate to a product.
  3. Use the available filters to find products by category or other criteria.
  4. Click the product you want to promote.

On the product page, you can review important information before requesting affiliation, including:

  • commission percentage;
  • Affiliate Program rules;
  • product information;
  • other products from the same Creator;
  • promotion guidelines, when provided by the Creator.

How do I request an affiliation?

After choosing a product, the affiliation process will depend on the rules defined by the Creator.

Automatic affiliation

If the product allows automatic affiliation, click Become an Affiliate now. Your affiliation will be completed immediately, and your Promotion Links will be available so you can start promoting the product.

Affiliation requiring approval

If the product requires approval, click Request affiliation. The Creator will receive your request and review it. In some Affiliate Programs, approval may also happen automatically when you meet the criteria established by the Creator.

While your request is under review, you won't be able to promote the product using your Promotion Links.

Products that do not accept Affiliates

Some products do not have an active Affiliate Program. In these cases, they won't be available for affiliation in the Affiliate Marketplace.


How do I track my affiliation requests?

If you've requested affiliation for products that require approval, follow these steps to check the status of your requests:

  1. Log in to your Hotmart account.
  2. From the left-hand menu, click Products > My Products.
  3. Select the I'm an Affiliate section.
  4. Click the Requested tab.

On this page, you can check the status of your requests and cancel any requests you no longer wish to keep.
 

What happens after my affiliation is approved?

Once your affiliation is approved, your Promotion Links will become available so you can start promoting the product.
