# Lead submission page for affiliate programs

> Create a no-code lead submission page for your partner portal. Let affiliates submit leads and earn commissions when leads convert to customers.

Enable your partners and affiliates to submit potential customers through a dedicated lead submission page. No coding required—configure everything through the Partnero dashboard.

## What is a Lead Submission Page?

A lead submission page is a dedicated landing page hosted on your partner portal where affiliates and partners can submit potential customer information. It's ideal for:

* **B2B affiliate programs** where partners identify sales opportunities
* **Service businesses** where referrals require qualification
* **High-ticket products** where direct sales attribution matters
* **Agency partnerships** where partners bring in client leads

### Key Benefits

* **No development needed**—Configure entirely through the dashboard
* **Automatic attribution**—Leads are linked to the submitting partner
* **Custom commission structures**—Set specific rewards for converted leads
* **Branded experience**—Fully customizable design with Live Designer
* **Email automation**—Automatic notifications for submissions and conversions

## Page URL

The leads page is hosted on your partner portal domain at `/submit`:

| Portal URL                 | Leads Page URL                    |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `partners.yourcompany.com` | `partners.yourcompany.com/submit` |

<Tip>
  Find your leads page link in the program **Overview** tab—click **View** next to **Leads page**.
</Tip>

## Configure the Leads Page

Go to **Partner portal → Pages & Content → Leads page** to configure your leads page.

### Page Details

Customize the main content that appears on your leads page:

| Setting                | Description                                              |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Title**              | Main heading displayed on the page                       |

| **Branding**           | Choose None, Symbol, or Logo to display above the title  |

### Managing Leads

Once leads are submitted, you can manage them in **Leads** section:

1. **Review**—See lead details and custom field responses
2. **Convert**—Mark as converted when the lead becomes a customer
3. **Reject**—Mark as rejected if the lead doesn't qualify

<Warning>
  Partners only receive commission when leads are marked as **converted**. Make sure to update lead status promptly.
</Warning>

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Clear instructions">
    Use the description and additional section to clearly explain:

    * What qualifies as a good lead
    * What information is needed
    * When and how partners will be rewarded
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Appropriate fields">
    Only ask for information you actually need:

    * Too many fields = fewer submissions
    * Too few fields = lower quality leads
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Competitive commissions">
    Offer attractive commissions for converted leads:

    * Consider the lifetime value of a customer
    * Higher commissions = more motivated partners
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Quick follow-up">
    Process submitted leads quickly:

    * Leads go cold fast
    * Partners appreciate prompt status updates
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How is lead submission different from referral link tracking?">
    Referral link tracking is automated—customers click a link and purchases are tracked automatically. Lead submission is manual—partners actively submit potential customer information, which you then qualify and convert. Lead submission is better for high-touch sales processes where partner involvement adds value.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can anyone submit leads or only registered partners?">
    Both. The lead submission page works as a standalone page accessible to anyone with the link. However, registered partners can also submit leads from within the partner portal, which automatically attributes the lead to their account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When do partners get paid for leads?">
    Partners earn commission only when you mark a lead as "converted" in your dashboard. This gives you full control over lead qualification and ensures partners are rewarded for quality leads that become actual customers.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I set different commissions for leads vs. regular sales?">
    Yes. You can configure custom commission structures specifically for converted leads—either a percentage of the deal value or a fixed amount per converted lead. This can be different from your standard affiliate commission.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What information can I collect on the lead form?">
    You can collect any information you need using custom fields: text inputs, textareas, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and country selectors. Built-in fields include name and email.
  </Accordion>
