Darwin is a complete ground-up re-build and improvement of the Affiliate Window administration area, which aims to make extensive use of new web technologies and provide a much more intuitive and user friendly interface. Due to the scale of the project there will be a phased roll out of new features; what we have launched today is just the first phase.

We began testing over a month ago with a beta group of affiliates. We have made changes and added functionality based on their feedback and now it’s available for everyone to use. So, what’s new?
• User Based Login System
• Detailed Affiliate Categorisation
• Account Switcher
• Account Permissions
• Wiki
• Affiliate Profiles

How do I get started?
Step One: To begin using Darwin and to start creating an Affiliate Profile you need to get your own unique Darwin login. Create an account here: Affiliate Window
Step Two: With an account created, and having successfully logged in, you will be on your User Dashboard. This summarises your Darwin user space. From here you will need to attach your current affiliate/merchant accounts.
Step Three: Navigate to the settings area via the top control box where you will find the link “Personal Settings > Manage Accounts”.
Step Four: Input the correct account details (ID and password) into the form and it will attach your account to your user space.
Step Five: With the account attached you can begin to build a unique profile. This includes creating business descriptions, adding all relevant sites, adding an RSS feed and any supporting documents.

Why do we have to create a new login? Would it have been too much to let us use our current AW login?

Hi Andrew

The new logins are required as we have changed logins from being on a per account basis to a per user. If you have multiple people who access your affiliate account each user can have their own login credentials allowing us to offer functionality such as:

• Switching between multiple affiliate and merchant accounts
• Opening and viewing multiple affiliate and merchant accounts at the same time
• User account permission levels for affiliate account owners to restrict what other users of their affilate account are allowed to do and view

The old style login credentials will still continue to work or you can just use your new details to login to Darwin and then access the older main interface/affiliate accounts from your Darwin account home page.

Thanks

Chris

Chris, thanks for explaining this

Can't seem to find clause 3.7 on the pdf??

Hi Matt

It should be section 4.7 of the user agreement referenced on the sign up form. I'll get it changed.

Thank you for letting us know.
