Overview of the Migration Process

Switching from FirstPromoter to Affiliate Manager involves three steps:

  1. Export affiliates from FirstPromoter

  2. Format the export file to match Kyrios requirements

  3. Import the affiliates into Affiliate Manager

Each step must be completed in order.

Step 1: Export Affiliates from FirstPromoter

  1. Log in to your FirstPromoter dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Promoters from the left-hand menu.

  3. Click the Export button at the top of the promoters list.

Wait for the export to complete and download the file.

The exported file contains all affiliate records from FirstPromoter.

Step 2: Format the Export File for Kyrios

Before importing, the file must match the supported Affiliate Manager import format.

Required CSV Columns

Your CSV should include the following headers:

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email-id

  • Phone Number

  • Industry

  • Website

Ensure:

  • The file is saved as CSV

  • Column names match exactly

  • Each affiliate appears on a single row

Once formatted correctly, save the file locally.

Step 3: Import Affiliates into Affiliate Manager

  1. Open Affiliate Manager in Kyrios.

  2. Go to Affiliates.

  3. Choose the Upload / Import option.

  4. Upload the formatted CSV file.

After import, affiliates will appear in Affiliate Manager and are ready to be assigned to campaigns.

After Import: Create or Update Campaigns

Once affiliates are available in Affiliate Manager:

  • Create a new affiliate campaign using Add Campaign, or

  • Edit an existing campaign and assign the imported affiliates

You can now:

  • Set commission percentages

  • Define payout frequency

  • Publish campaigns so affiliates receive their tracking links

Important Notes and Limitations

  • Affiliate links are generated only after a campaign is published

  • Imported affiliates do not receive retroactive credit for past conversions

  • Existing buyers cannot be retroactively linked to imported affiliates
