Affiliate Account vs. Heritage Web Account: What's the Difference?
Understanding the distinction between your Affiliate Program accounts and your Heritage Web client account helps you navigate the platform effectively.
Quick Answer
Your Heritage Web account is for managing listings and purchasing leads, while your Affiliate accounts track referrals and commissions. The Affiliate Program uses two integrated systems: an Affiliate Dashboard within your main Heritage Web account for basic features, and a separate Affiliate Portal for advanced tracking and payouts.

FAQs
Do I need both accounts? No. You can be an affiliate without having Heritage Web listings, or have listings without being an affiliate. However, having both maximizes your opportunities.
Why are there separate passwords? The Affiliate Portal (Partnero) is a specialized tracking platform that requires its own secure login, separate from your Heritage Web business account.
Can I use the same email for both? Yes. You can use the same email address for your Heritage Web account and Affiliate Portal registration.
If I delete my Heritage Web account, what happens to my affiliate account? Your Affiliate Portal account remains active. These are independent systems, and you can continue earning commissions even without Heritage Web listings.
