How to enable / access the affiliate area in Client Area

##### Accessing the affiliate area in your IllusionCloud client account

IllusionCloud’s affiliate program is managed from the same client portal you use to manage services and invoices. Follow these steps to activate your affiliate account:

1. **Log into your client area.** Use your IllusionCloud account credentials to sign into the client portal.
2. **Look for the “Affiliates” or “Affiliate Program” link.** If the affiliate system is enabled, clients should see an “Affiliates” link in the navigation menu of the client area【208978852775731†L195-L200】.area. Click this link to open the affiliate section.
3. **Activate your affiliate account.** In the affiliate section, you will see an option such as **“Activate Affiliate Account*Account”** or **“Join the Affiliate Program*Program”**. Review the terms and conditions and click the activation button.
4. **Provide any required details.** You may be asked to confirm your contact information or payment preferences. Fill out these fields and save.
5. **Access your dashboard.** Once activated, the affiliate dashboard becomes available. Here you can view your commission balance, generate referral links and banners, and track clicks and sign‑sign-ups.

### Troubleshooting

- If you do not see the “Affiliates” link, the affiliate system may not be enabled for your account. In WHMCS (the software used by many hosting providers), administrators must enable the affiliate system under **Setup → General Settings → Affiliates**. When enabled, clients can activate their affiliate account from their client area, and administrators can also activate an account from the client summary page【208978852775731†L133-L137】.page.
- Contact the IllusionCloud support team if you have joined the program but do not see the affiliate area or if you need assistance with activation.

After activation, you can proceed to obtain your affiliate link and start promoting IllusionCloud services.
