1. Overview for Invited Influencers

Welcome to the ebosAi Affiliate Marketing Platform (AMP). As a featured content creator, video influencer, or strategic partner, your collaboration with merchants is powered by AMP's enterprise tracking and attribution engine.

In ebosAi AMP, influencers engage with merchants via two distinct avenues: 1. Direct Merchant Invitation: The merchant's partnership manager creates your account directly within their admin dashboard (/admin/partners), assigning your commission terms and pre-configuring your custom referral link. 2. Central Partner Pool Invitation: You register publicly at /partners/signup in the central creator pool. Merchants discover your profile in their Discovery Pool (/admin/affiliates) and issue a personalized program invitation (/partners/join?invite_token=...).

Regardless of how you join, your account is stored in the unified partner architecture with access to the Partner Portal (/partners/login) for performance monitoring, earnings auditing, and payout settlements.

2. Partnership Models: Multi-Brand vs. Exclusive

When participating in the platform, influencers operate under one of two partnership frameworks:

Feature Multi-Brand Freedom (is_exclusive = false) Exclusive Strategic Partnership (is_exclusive = true)
Merchant Scope Promote multiple non-competing merchants across the ebosAi network. Dedicated partnership representing a single merchant brand.
Product Discovery Browse active products across the network at /partners/merchants. Promotes designated brand products only.
Discovery Pool Visibility Remains discoverable in pool searches by other merchants. Concealed from other merchants' pool searches once attached.
Contract Transition Instant link generation for any participating merchant. Can request transition via Request Contract Release modal at /partners/merchants.

Your partner manager provides you with a branded, high-converting referral link:

https://marketing.ebosai.com/ref/{unique-slug}
  • Branded Custom Slugs: Influencers often receive memorable, channel-specific slugs such as https://marketing.ebosai.com/ref/alex-tech or https://merp.ebosai.com/ref/autumn-launch.
  • Destination Routing: Slugs automatically resolve to the merchant's target landing page (or specific product checkout).
  • Never Modify the Slug: Modifying even a single character in the slug breaks attribution, preventing referral clicks and commissions from being credited to your account.
  • YouTube & Video: Place the link in the first two lines of your video description and pin it in the top comment.
  • Instagram & TikTok: Feature the link in your bio or add direct link stickers in stories and reels.
  • Podcasts & Newsletters: Include clean referral URLs in episode show notes, sponsor cards, and dedicated email blasts.
  • Reviews & Comparison Blogs: Hyperlink call-to-action (CTA) buttons and featured product banners.

4. Advanced UTM Parameter Tagging

To audit traffic across different campaigns, placements, or video episodes, you can append standard UTM parameters to your tracking URL:

https://marketing.ebosai.com/ref/alex-tech?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=q4_review&utm_content=sponsor_block

The ebosAi attribution engine captures these UTM values upon click, permanently recording them alongside the conversion record in your earnings ledger for detailed ROI analysis.

5. How Referral Tracking & Attribution Works

    actor Audience as Your Viewer / Follower
    participant Link as /ref/{unique-slug}
    participant Engine as AMP Attribution Engine
    participant Target as Merchant Landing / App

    Audience->>Link: Clicks referral link in bio / video description
    Link->>Engine: Resolve slug & log click event with UTM metadata
    Engine-->>Audience: Set 30-Day Cryptographic Attribution Cookie (amp_ref)
    Engine->>Target: Instant 302 Redirect (<50ms) with ?ref= token
    Audience->>Target: Browses & completes purchase or signup
    Target->>Engine: Conversion beacon fired (1-line script or webhook)
    Engine->>Engine: Attribution match: Credit commission to Influencer
  1. Sub-50ms Redirection: When a follower clicks your link, AMP's high-performance edge redirect resolves the slug and hands off the user in under 50 milliseconds with zero lag.
  2. 30-Day Attribution Window: A secure, cryptographically signed cookie (amp_ref) is stored in the visitor's browser. If the visitor converts anytime within 30 days, you receive full credit.
  3. Dual-Channel Reliability: Even if browser cookie restrictions apply, AMP passes a ?ref= query parameter to the landing page, where our 1-line script caches the token in first-party localStorage.
  4. Last-Click Attribution Hierarchy: Your referral cookie holds priority over organic visits. If multiple partners refer the same user, the last click prior to conversion receives attribution.

6. Accessing Your Partner Portal

Influencers can log in anytime to monitor campaign results:

  1. Navigate to /partners/login.
  2. Enter your email address to receive a secure 6-digit OTP code.
  3. Access your dashboard:
  4. Performance Stats (/partners/dashboard): Real-time clicks, conversions, and conversion rate.
  5. Earnings Ledger (/partners/earnings): Full list of commissions, statuses (pending, approved, posted), and holding windows.
  6. Payout History (/partners/payouts): Bank wire batches and payment reference numbers.
  7. Banking Setup (/partners/profile): Register bank account details securely (encrypted via AES-256-GCM).
  8. Contract Exclusivity (/partners/merchants): If enrolled in an exclusive partnership, review your contract status or submit a contract release request if you wish to return to the multi-brand pool.
