# Manage affiliates
> Create, invite, and manage Affiliate Users in your Kajabi Affiliate Dashboard.
Create and manage your affiliates in the **My affiliates** section of your **Affiliate Dashboard**. Before getting started, ensure your Kajabi site is set up for affiliate use, including enabling affiliate features and setting default and Offer-level commissions.
[Access your Affiliate report](/articles/sales/affiliates/affiliate-report) for an overview of affiliate data.
Click on an affiliate's **Name** to:
* Review their individual affiliate statistics
* Override their affiliate [Percentage](/articles/sales/affiliates/set-up-your-affiliate-program#set-default-affiliate-commission)
* View which **Share Links** are available to each affiliate
* Create a **Manual Transaction** to credit your affiliate
**Note:** Affiliates do not automatically get added to your **Contacts** tab. Because affiliates do not need to be customers of your site, they may only exist on your **Affiliate Dashboard**.
However, if your affiliates complete a **Form** created on your Kajabi site, purchase an **Offer**, or are manually imported into your Contacts tab, then you will be able to see your affiliates in both your Affiliate Dashboard and your Contacts tab.
## Invite Affiliates
Manually import affiliates by sending an invite to join your site.
1. Open the **Sales** tab from your Dashboard.
2. Then, select **Affiliates**.
3. Open **My affiliates** from the top navigation menu.
4. There, click **+ Invite affiliates** in the top right corner of the page.
5. Enter the **Name** and **Email Address** of your new affiliate(s).
6. Then, click **Invite**.
You will receive an email from our support team to the email associated with your account when the affiliate import process has finished.
**Note:** You may add up to 500 affiliates with each import.
### Use a CSV to import affiliates
You may copy and paste affiliate information into the **Invite new affiliates** field from a specifically formatted CSV file. Your CSV file **must** be formatted as below for your affiliates to be accepted and successfully imported into Kajabi:
* Format each line as **First Name Last Name**,**Email Address**
* Do not include extra commas or special characters
* **Examples:**
* John Doe,[jdoe@example.com](mailto:jdoe@example.com)
* Jane Smith,[jsmith@example.com](mailto:jsmith@example.com)
### Activate Affiliate commission
After inviting your affiliates, activate **Affiliate commission** to credit your affiliates for transactions made with their Share Links. [Learn more](/articles/sales/affiliates/activate-affiliate-commission).

For custom affiliate links, head to the **Affiliates Dashboard** and use the **Share Links** tab to generate referral links that redirect to specific Landing Pages, Sales Pages, or Checkout Pages. Provide affiliates with these unique links for targeted promotions.
To manage payouts, monitor transactions in the **Transactions** tab of the Affiliates Dashboard. From here, you can export reports for performance reviews and configure automatic or manual payouts.
**Note:** When opening an exported report CSV file, use TextEdit (for Mac) or Notepad (for PCs).
## After inviting an Affiliate
