Write a handoff for affiliate program ownership
Keep payment, editorial, and link operations understandable when teams change.
Document the relationships
For each program list the owner, approval status, reporting location, permitted traffic, and payout schedule. Record who can verify eligibility and who handles reconciliation. Avoid sharing access credentials in a general editorial document.
Walk through a real change
Ask the new owner to locate all links affected by a merchant’s expired trial, verify a new destination, and identify which articles require disclosure or price changes. Test the workflow with a low-impact example before an urgent migration.
Set review dates and responsibility
Assign owners for upcoming offer checks and unsettled payouts. Keep a decision history for paused programs and accepted exceptions. Confirm the new owner can recover access through approved account roles before removing former collaborators.

Add UTM labels to a destination. Use a consistent naming convention and avoid personal information in URLs.
