How to Set Up the Affiliate Program

This guide walks you through setting up the UnoLock Affiliate Program in your CybVault account. The UnoLock Affiliate Program empowers privacy-conscious individuals, influencers, and partners to promote our zero-knowledge, post-quantum encrypted vault while earning commissions. As an affiliate, you contribute to the mission of digital sovereignty by helping others secure their data, legacy, and freedom. This step-by-step tutorial covers the process, based on UnoLock's commitment to trustless security.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you meet the following requirements: - Account Tier: The affiliate program is available only on the Sovereign or HighRisk tiers. Upgrade your account if you're on Free or Inheritance. - Upgrade Process: Navigate to your account settings, select a qualifying tier, and complete the payment via Stripe, PayPal, or Bitcoin. The affiliate option unlocks immediately after upgrade. - Email Address: An email is required for onboarding (creating a separate, non-anonymous affiliate account for payment purposes). - Payout Method: You must have a PayPal account, as UnoLock currently pays commissions via PayPal.

If you haven't upgraded yet, refer to the Upgrade Safe guide.

Follow these steps to join the program and set up your unique referral link.

  1. Authenticate into the UnoLock App
    Log in to your UnoLock CybVault account using your biometric or FIDO2 authentication. Ensure you're on a Sovereign or HighRisk tier for access to the affiliate features.

  2. Access the Options Menu
    Click on the left-hand menu and navigate to "Options." This section allows you to customize your vault settings.

  3. Enable the Affiliate Program
    Locate and click the "Affiliate Program" checkbox. Then, click "Save." This action launches the Affiliate Program menu in the Configuration section.

  4. Navigate to the Affiliate Program Menu
    Return to the Configuration menu and click on the "Affiliate Program" menu item. Read the program overview, which highlights earning a perpetual 20% commission and promoting UnoLock's cutting-edge security.

  5. Join the Program
    Click "Join Program" to begin onboarding. Read the Terms and Conditions carefully, then click "I Agree" to proceed.

  6. Provide Your Email Address
    Enter your email address when prompted. This is required for affiliate onboarding and payment processing, creating a separate account for commissions while maintaining your vault's anonymity.

  7. Complete Onboarding with Trolley
    Click "Next" to be redirected to the UnoLock portal at Trolley.com, our affiliate vendor. Fill out the general information: account type, first and last name, email (pre-filled), date of birth, country, and address. Click "Next."

  8. Add a Payout Method
    Enter your PayPal account details as the payout method (UnoLock currently supports only PayPal). Complete the setup, and you'll be redirected back to UnoLock, where your affiliate account links to your vault.

  9. Configure Your Affiliate Link
    In the Affiliate Program dashboard, choose a unique suffix for your referral link (e.g., unolock.com/affiliate/your-suffix). The system checks for availability and duplicates. Once set, the suffix cannot be changed (future updates may allow modifications).

  10. Save and Start Promoting
    Click "Save" to finalize your link. Your dashboard will now show the referral link, ready for sharing on social media, blogs, or communities.
