The Home and Signup pages of the mini-site are the most frequently visited pages by new or existing affiliates. These pages, along with the footer displayed on all pages of the mini-site, come with default text content about commission rates, terms & conditions, links, etc., and it's advisable to review and edit the content of these pages to reflect your affiliate program details.
If you prefer watching a video over reading an article, see the video below:
To edit the mentioned pages, navigate to Configuration > Design > Mini-site theme. There, click on the "Edit theme" button in the chosen theme. If you have not yet created a custom theme, you will be prompted to make a copy of the default theme first, as default themes cannot be changed. If you edit your custom theme, the theme editor will open right away, where you need to find and edit the correct template files.
If you'd like to first check the default templates before deciding which one to copy, you can switch the active theme by clicking the "Select This Theme" button. The active theme is what all visitors to your mini-site will see.
Changing Home page text
To edit the text of the Home page, in the theme editor search for the "index.stpl" file and click on it to open it in a fullscreen HTML editor.
To locate the specific paragraph you wish to change in the code, press Ctrl + F to bring up the search field, and simply type in a part of the text you want to rewrite. The system will automatically highlight and scroll to the part of the code that matches your search.
The example below shows how to find the mentions of the 30% commission rates. Note that by default there are three of them.
If you're uncomfortable altering the text in HTML code, you can copy and paste the entire content of the file into an AI tool and ask it to update just the text for you.
Changing Signup page text
Similar to the process of changing the text of the Home page, to update the paragraphs beneath the signup form in the Sign up page, in the theme editor search for the "signup_form.tpl" file, open it, and search for a part of the text you want to change, for example, the "Payouts" paragraph.
If you would like to customize the fields in your signup form, navigate to Configuration > Affiliate signup > Fields. For more details, see this and this article.
Changing the footer content
To update the footer content displayed on all mini-site pages, locate the "footer.stpl" file in the theme editor, open it, and edit the contact information, company website links, and social media links as needed, or remove any unnecessary sections.
Set custom theme as active
After making your modifications, you need to set your custom theme as active for your mini-site by clicking the "Select This Theme" button. Once done, refresh the tab with mini-site in your browser to see the changes applied.
