Affiliate Account Details
Having up-to-date affiliate account details, such as contact information and payment details, can be very important. Without having these details stored in Offerit, your account representative, program owner, or any other admins will not be able to contact you if necessary.
All of your account information can be seen and edited on the Affiliate Account Details page, which can be found in the "My Account" section in the toolbar at the top of every affiliate page in Offerit. Mouse over "My Account," and click the Account Details link in the pop-down menu that appears.
The Account Details page contains all of the information that you provided when signing up for your Offerit Installation. This includes your name, address, various contact information, payment details, W9 information, and password.
Some Offerit installations may require e-mail or administrator verification before changes to your account details can be saved. This is decided by the Offerit program owner.
