Affiliate guide

For people in the Make a Simcha affiliate program

How it works

• Your link. When you are accepted you get a link with your name in it, like makeasimcha.com/yourname. Share it anywhere. When a family buys a simcha after clicking it, you earn a percentage of what they paid.
• Your own codes. On your home page, under My codes, you can make discount codes for your audience. A code takes its discount out of your own percentage, so a code can never cost us more than it costs you. The page shows what you will earn before you save it.
• Your free simchas. You get free simchas to try the app yourself or to give to someone close to you. They are free codes under My codes.
• Getting paid. A sale is held for 30 days (the refund period), then approved. Payments are made outside the app, through Stripe, once you have set that up on your Profile page.
• Privacy. You see how many people clicked, signed up and bought, and what you earned. You never see who they are.
• Be honest. Always say that your link is a paid link. On the Share page, pick one of the ready-made disclosure sentences.

Before you set up a wedding: what to gather

Setup takes about 15 minutes when you have these ready. Nothing is final, you can change every answer later.

1. About you: your name, email and mobile number, how you are related to the couple, and which side you are on.
2. The couple: chosson and kallah names (Hebrew names are optional) and the wedding date, if it is set.
3. Your team: name, email and mobile number of everyone who helps plan (spouse, children, brothers and sisters, a friend, a planner).
4. What is booked for the wedding night: hall, caterer, band and so on. For each, the vendor name, the price, whether it is booked, and who pays (both sides, your side or their side).
5. Everything else: clothing, gifts and other items you want on the plan, and what your side expects to spend.
6. Your side's budget and the currency.
7. Aufruf and Sheva Brachos: which shul for the Aufruf, and for each Sheva Brachos lunch or evening, who makes it and who hosts.
8. Guests: a list of families (a spreadsheet or a .csv works well) with names, phone numbers or emails, and the reply-by date for the wedding.
9. Reminders: whether you want them by text, by email or both.

Planning a different kind of simcha (bar mitzvah, bris, kiddush and so on)? The list is shorter: your details, the honoree and the date, the people helping, what is booked, your budget and your guest list.
