The Affiliate System has a default, global Signup Form for new Affiliates to use to sign up with. To customize the Affiliate Signup Form, use CCBill's signup template, which has the necessary form fields already coded. There are precise instructions in the template HTML itself to allow you to get the form up and running quickly. Be sure to obtain the latest Signup Template from CCBill's Administration System.
If required, choose a subaccount from the drop-down menu in the Selection Pane. Click View to access the Signup Form for a particular subaccount.
The Signup Template displays the code for the Referral Signup form which you may use to start an Affiliate promotion program.
Copy and paste the HTML code into a text editor, save the file as an HTML file, and then upload it to the required subaccount website. Once the page is uploaded, it is possible to sign up Affiliates.
The latest version of the signup Template is much simpler and takes up less space on the site.
By entering a main affiliate account (current id) username and password , and clicking the Retrieve Data button on the form, new Affiliate accounts may be linked under an existing main Affiliate account. The Affiliate Signup Form will be prefilled automatically with the main Affiliate's data to speed up and simplify the process. The main Affiliate may access reports and functions for linked Affiliate accounts through a primary login ID.
The HTML provided in the Signup Template is for an existing subaccount website and works specifically with CCBill's system. Any changes made to this template could cause the client 's Affiliate Signup Form to malfunction. All of the form field names and maxlengths must remain unchanged. In order to customize the look this template, change only the following fields below:
page_background - Full URL to a background image.
page_bgcolor - page background color.
page_text - Color of text outside of table.
page_link - Link color of all hyperlinks.
page_vlink - Visited link color of all hyperlinks.
page_alink - Active link color of all hyperlinks.

table_right - Color of right side of table.
table_text - Color of text inside of table.
star_color - Color of the asterisks for required fields.
The CCBill account number and subaccount numbers will be automatically entered in the Signup Template, provided you copy it directly from CCBill's Admin System before using it.
You may place a Group ID number or Group Name in the HTML code to automatically add new Affiliate sign ups to a particular group. The Group must be already set up in the Grouping area for this option to work. Follow the steps listed below:
Go to Affiliates > Administration > Grouping. Choose a subaccount and click View.
Open the Group Report and click the Edit Payouts link for the group where you want to add new Affiliates.
On the Group Edit Payouts page, copy the Group ID number or Group Name.
Locate the HTML to modify in the Signup Template. Scroll down in the HTML until you find the GR value area. Refer to the following code example:
<input type=hidden name=GR value="">
Paste the Group ID number or Group Name you copied between the quote marks in the Signup Template's GR value area.
For example, if you copied Group ID "1190", the code would look like the following when modified:
<input type=hidden name=GR value="1190">
Save the modified Signup Template and place it on the required website.
