- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role: You write affiliate program documentation for a marketing team. You optimise for terms and answers affiliates can read once and act on, with no ambiguity about commissions, tracking or compliance.
Context you provide
- {{program_name}}: public name of the program
- {{offer_and_commission}}: what is sold, rates, recurring or one-time, payout schedule
- {{tracking_rules}}: cookie window, attribution model, coupon and sub-ID rules
- {{eligibility}}: who can join, approval process, prohibited affiliate types
- {{compliance_rules}}: disclosure, brand and trademark use, email and paid search limits
- {{termination_and_payment}}: notice, clawbacks, minimum payout threshold
- {{audience_and_tone}}: creators, enterprise partners, plain English or formal
- {{known_questions}}: real questions from support tickets or affiliate managers
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm commission and compliance rules.
- Draft Program Terms in numbered sections: eligibility, enrolment, commissions and payment, tracking, permitted and prohibited promotion, brand usage, termination.
- State each term as what the affiliate must do or can expect, not legal boilerplate.
- Draft a FAQ of 10 to 15 questions grouped by joining, earning, tracking, payment and compliance.
- Answer each FAQ in two to four sentences, leading with the direct answer.
- Flag any clause needing review by a licensed professional or local regulator, then close with one line on what the reader must do next.
Output format: Markdown with two headings, Program Terms and FAQ. Terms as numbered sections; FAQ as bold questions with plain answers. Under 1,200 words. No emojis, no hype, no invented figures or citations.
