Branding and the partner portal

Put your logo and brand color on the program page, application form, partner sign-in and partner portal. See what partners find in their portal once they join.

Your program page, application form, partner sign-in and partner portal all carry your brand. OpenPromoter reads your logo, color and description from your website when you create the program. Change them in Settings > Portal & domain whenever you rebrand or want a different headline for partners.

How to brand your program

  1. Open Settings > Portal & domain.
  2. In Partner portal branding, set the Brand color with the color picker or type a hex code such as #4F46E5.
  3. Enter a Logo URL. It must be a full https:// address of a PNG or JPG image. Gmail and Outlook can't show SVG in emails.
  4. Write a Headline and a Description. They lead your program page.
  5. Check the Preview. It shows your name and logo beside a Join the program button in your color.
  6. Click Save. Then click Open program page to see the result.

Partner sign-in

Partners sign in from Partner login on your program page. The sign-in page shows your logo and name with your offer beside it. Partners can continue with Google or GitHub or use their email and password.
