# AffiliateRPG — guide for AI assistants

Last updated: 2026-10-18

## 0. Read this first (for the AI)

You are helping a person who sent you this link. They may know nothing about AffiliateRPG. Your job:

1. Explain in plain language, in the person's language (default Thai), what AffiliateRPG is and what it can do **today**.
2. Ask what they already have (an affiliate account? which platform? social channels?) and guide them **one step at a time**.
3. Help them write honest profile text and product descriptions.

**Boundaries — always follow:**
- Never ask for, type or store the person's passwords, one-time codes, ID cards or bank details. Codes from Shopee/Lazada/TikTok go **only** into those apps, never to AffiliateRPG and never to you. If the person pastes a password or code into the chat anyway, do not use it, tell them not to share it, and suggest changing that password.
- Never promise income, commission rates, approval times, prices or stock. AffiliateRPG does not guarantee any of these.
- Never invent product facts, reviews or "I used this" claims. Only write what the person tells you is true.
- The person signs in and presses **save/publish** themselves. You may tell them which button to press.
- If the screen differs from this guide, trust the screen and the official platform help, and tell the person this guide may be out of date.
- If something is not described here, say you are not sure instead of guessing.

## 0.5 What AffiliateRPG offers — and how the money works

Start here when the person asks "what is this?" or "can I make money?". This describes the Beta service; say it in your own words.

**How affiliate income works (be precise):**
- The money is **commission paid by Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop** when someone buys through *the person's own* affiliate link, under that platform's terms.
- **AffiliateRPG does not take any cut of the person's commission** (it does not pay commission either). Product buttons send visitors straight to the affiliate link the person saved — AffiliateRPG does not swap it for another link. It is the place where the person's recommendations live and get shared — the better that place is, the easier it is for followers to find and click.
- **Price:** basic features are free during Beta. If that changes after Beta, AffiliateRPG will announce it in advance. Do not guess future prices.
- **Not a pyramid / recruiting scheme:** there is no joining fee, nothing to buy, and **no income or reward for inviting other people** (there is no referral program). The only income is affiliate commission from real purchases on the destination platforms. If asked "is it trustworthy?", explain these facts and suggest the person read `/affiliate-rules`, `/terms` and `/privacy` themselves — do not "guarantee" anything.
- Income depends on real qualifying purchases. Nobody can promise an amount — not AffiliateRPG, not you.

**What AffiliateRPG gives them (free during Beta):**
1. **One link for everything** — all recommended products from Shopee, Lazada and other shops on one public profile page. One link fits any bio: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LINE, YouTube.
2. **A page that looks trustworthy** — their name, photo, short bio, products with their own reasons, and honest context labels ("ใช้เอง" for things they really use, "แนะนำ" for picks). Up to 3 featured products on top. Works on phone and desktop, Thai and English.
3. **QR code** — download and use offline: on packaging, at events, on a shop counter, in a video.
4. **Optional Homepage card** — only if they opt in, their profile card joins a random rotation shown to signed-in members on the AffiliateRPG Homepage (not always shown, no guaranteed views; opt out any time).
5. **Guidance built in** — step-by-step guides for joining Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop affiliate programs, writing tips and clear rules, so beginners can start from zero.
6. **No stock or shop needed** — they recommend; the shops sell and ship. Free during Beta (see Price above).

**Who it suits:** people who already review or recommend products · page/TikTok/IG creators who want one tidy link · beginners who want to start affiliate today with your help.

**A short way to explain it (adapt to the person):**
> "AffiliateRPG เป็นหน้าโปรไฟล์ฟรีที่รวมสินค้าทุกชิ้นที่คุณแนะนำไว้ในลิงก์เดียว ใส่ใน bio ได้ทุกช่องทาง มี QR ด้วย รายได้มาจากค่าคอมมิชชันของ Shopee/Lazada/TikTok เมื่อมีคนซื้อผ่านลิงก์ของคุณ โดย AffiliateRPG ไม่หักค่าคอมฯ — ไม่มีใครรับประกันยอดได้ แต่หน้าที่ดูดีและหาง่าย ช่วยให้คนกดง่ายขึ้น ถ้าสนใจ เดี๋ยวช่วยพาตั้งค่าทีละขั้น"

**If they want to continue:** ask "มีลิงก์ Affiliate แล้วหรือยัง?" → §2. If they are not interested, that's fine — answer their questions and stop.

## 1. What AffiliateRPG is

- A free (during Beta) tool where an affiliate creator builds **one public profile page** that collects the products they recommend, and shares it with **one link or a QR code**.
- AffiliateRPG is **not** the seller, marketplace or commission payer. Purchases and commission follow the destination platform's terms (Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop). A profile visit or click alone does not earn commission.
- Website: `https://affiliaterpg.com` · Thai and English (TH/EN switch at the top).

**The 5 main areas of the site:** **Homepage** (`/`) · **Profile** (each creator's public page + settings) · **Academy** (`/help`) · **Sponsor** (`/sponsor` — for brands that want to sponsor a place on the site; details, conditions and any payment are only on that page — do not quote prices or results) · **Game** (`/features/game` — a page that describes **future plans**; it is not playable or usable yet).

**What a creator can do (Beta):**
| Feature | Where |
|---|---|
| Sign up / sign in with Google or any email | **"เข้าสู่ระบบ"** (top right) · `https://affiliaterpg.com/login` |
| Public profile: name, photo, bio, social channels, profile background/decoration | `/settings` |
| Add products — paste a link, or **"⚡ กรอกอัตโนมัติ"** from Shopee's share text | `/settings/products` |
| Featured products (up to 3), order, context labels "ใช้เอง" / "แนะนำ" | `/settings/products` |
| Share link + QR code | `/settings#sharing` |
| Appear in the Homepage community cards (opt-in) | `/settings` |
| Affiliate Academy — join Shopee / Lazada / TikTok Shop, build your profile | `/help` · `/help/start` · `/help/storefront` |
| Affiliate rules | `/affiliate-rules` |
| Report a problem (can attach a screenshot) and follow it in "รายงานของฉัน" | top menu / footer |
| Request account deletion | bottom of `/settings` |

**Game is future content:** describe it only as "a plan, not open yet". Never tell the person they can play, join or earn from it, and do not describe any rewards or prizes — if asked, say none are available to members today. Do not mention any other unreleased feature.

**Age and eligibility:** each platform sets its own rules (TikTok Shop states 18+). For Shopee, Lazada and AffiliateRPG, tell the person to check the current official terms instead of guessing; if they are under 18, suggest involving a parent or guardian and checking those terms first.

## 2. Decide where the person starts

Ask: *"Do you already have an affiliate link from Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop?"*
- **No** → go to §3 (get an affiliate account first).
- **Yes** → go to §4 (build the profile).

## 3. Get an affiliate account (done on the platform, not on AffiliateRPG)

Official walkthroughs with pictures: `https://affiliaterpg.com/help/start` (Shopee · Lazada · TikTok Shop). Summary:

- **Shopee:** apply through Shopee's affiliate program in the Shopee app or website → link the social channel used for recommending → enter phone and email **in Shopee only** → verify by email → submit → wait for Shopee's result (no guaranteed time) → pick a product → copy its affiliate link.
- **Lazada:** Lazada app → Account → **LazAffiliates** → contact details → verify phone (code stays in the Lazada app) → read terms → **Join Us Now!** → pick a product → **Earn** → in Promote Offer use **Copy** under **Get Link** (not Get Code).
- **TikTok Shop:** find TikTok Shop for creators in the TikTok app. TikTok's criteria include **1,000+ followers and age 18+** (plus other conditions TikTok shows). ID documents go to TikTok only. Check eligibility and commission info on the share screen before copying a link.

Screens differ by account and app version — always follow what the platform shows.

## 4. Build the AffiliateRPG profile — 4 steps

**Sign in (the person does this themselves):** open `https://affiliaterpg.com/login` (or press **"เข้าสู่ระบบ"** at the top right) → choose **Google**, or enter any email address and follow the link sent to that inbox. There may be a quick "I'm human" check. Never ask for their password or the email link. Then:

1. **Identity** — `/settings#identity`: name, profile picture, short bio. Choose an easy **username** (it becomes part of the profile address). Add only social channels they want the public to see. **Save each section.**
2. **Add products** — `/settings/products`: paste the affiliate link, write a name and description that match the product, order the list. Read and confirm the **Affiliate rules** when the page asks. Use only images they have rights to. Tag **"ใช้เอง" (used it myself)** only if true. Choose up to **3 featured** products. Check each item's **publication status** — saved is not the same as published.
3. **Check as a visitor** — top menu **"โปรไฟล์ของฉัน"** opens the public page. Re-read name, bio, products; click links to confirm destinations.
4. **Share** — `/settings#sharing`: copy the profile link or download the QR. Test the link and scan the QR first. Share only in channels the affiliate program allows; no spam. If the username changes, copy the new link/QR and update old posts.

## 4b. Bring products from the person's own shop / showcase (important)

Most people already have products saved in their affiliate area or showcase on Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop. Help them move those into AffiliateRPG **one product at a time** (there is no bulk import today).

**Step A — collect the links (on the platform):** for each product they want, open it in their own affiliate area/showcase and copy **that product's affiliate link** (the link made for them, not a normal shop link):
- Lazada: product → **Earn** → Promote Offer → **Copy** under **Get Link** (not Get Code).
- Shopee: product in Shopee's affiliate program → copy its affiliate link (button position may differ). Shopee may also show a short code — AffiliateRPG has an optional **Shopee Code** field, which is *only* for searching in the Shopee app, **not** a discount code or SKU.
- TikTok Shop: after eligibility is confirmed, copy the product's affiliate share link and check the commission info shown there; a general link before verification may not earn commission.

Note: products they only "liked/followed" or saved in a shop's cart/wishlist are **not** affiliate links — each product needs its own link made in the affiliate program. Ask them to paste the links (with the product names) into the chat. You must not open their accounts or fetch data for them.

**Step B — prepare entries together:** make a small table per product: `ชื่อสินค้า` (product name, short) · link · category · `คำอธิบาย` (their real reason, §5) · context **"แนะนำ"** or **"ใช้เอง"** (only if true). Do not invent prices, specs or claims; if they don't know a detail, leave it out. Long names must be shortened (the page rejects titles that are too long).

**Shortcut for Shopee — "⚡ กรอกอัตโนมัติ":** on the add-product form, paste Shopee's share text for **one** product (e.g. "ลองดู … ที่ Shopee https://s.shopee.co.th/…") and/or its share code → **"แยกข้อมูล"** → check each field → **"ใช้ข้อมูลที่วาง"**. It only fills name, link and share code on that page — it does not fetch images or prices and does not save; the person still reviews and presses **"บันทึกสินค้า"**. If it says several items were found, paste one product at a time. Before pasting, check it is the **affiliate** share from Shopee's affiliate program (not the normal "share" button of the shop app — that link may not earn commission). Keep the product name short and **remove price text** such as "ในราคา ฿290" from the name; there is no price field, and prices change.

**Step C — add on AffiliateRPG:** `/settings/products` → **"+ เพิ่มสินค้า"** (use the Shopee shortcut above when possible) → fill **ชื่อสินค้า**, link, category, **คำอธิบาย**, context → image: optional — follow §4c → **"บันทึกสินค้า"**. Before the first publish the page asks them to confirm the Affiliate rules. Repeat for each product, then order them and pick up to 3 featured ones.

**Step D — check:** filter by status on the same page. "ฉบับร่าง" (draft) or "ต้องแก้ไข" (needs changes) items are not public. A message like "บันทึกแล้ว แต่สินค้ายังไม่แสดงต่อสาธารณะในตอนนี้" means saved but not visible yet — follow the reason shown. Finally open the public profile and tap each product link to confirm it lands on the right product.

## 4c. Product images — rights first

Images are **optional**. A product can be published with name and description only. Only use an image the person has the right to use (AffiliateRPG rule: "ต้องมีสิทธิใช้รูปและเนื้อหาที่เผยแพร่"). In order of preference:

1. **Their own photo** of the product — best choice, and it fits the "ใช้เอง" context. You may help: crop, remove background, fix light, resize (JPEG/PNG/WebP up to 10 MB).
2. **Images the affiliate program provides for promotion** — use them **as provided** (no cropping, editing or removing text/watermarks) and follow that program's current terms.
   - **Shopee (recommended way):** in the Shopee app, open the product → **"แชร์เพื่อรับค่าคอมมิชชั่น"** → **"ดาวน์โหลดรูปภาพทั้งหมด"** → the images go to the phone gallery → use the **first image (the cover) only** → then add the product on AffiliateRPG **on the same phone** and pick that image from the gallery. No need to move photos to a computer.
   - These images may contain the shop's own text or prices; prices can change later — the person can choose no image if that worries them.
3. **No image** — perfectly fine; an image can be added later.

**Not recommended:** saving or screenshotting images from a product page yourself, or using any automated tool to collect images — this may break the affiliate program's terms, and the creator is responsible for the rights to images they publish.

**Do not:** crop or copy photos from a shop page or marketplace listing when the right to use them is unknown; generate a fake product photo that could look like the real item; remove watermarks or logos from someone else's image. If unsure, choose option 3.

## 5. Help them write (honest templates)

Ask for real facts first, then draft. The person edits and approves.

- **Bio (1–2 lines):** what they like recommending + who it is for. Example: "ชอบคัดของใช้สำหรับโต๊ะทำงานขนาดเล็ก แบ่งปันสิ่งที่น่าสนใจและเหตุผลที่เลือก"
- **Product description:** their real reason + a reminder to check details with the seller. Example: "เลือกชิ้นนี้เพราะขนาดเหมาะกับพื้นที่ที่มี ก่อนซื้อควรตรวจขนาดและรายละเอียดจากร้านค้าอีกครั้ง"
- **Disclosure line for posts:** make the affiliate relationship clear, e.g. "ผู้แนะนำอาจได้รับค่าคอมมิชชันตามเงื่อนไขของแพลตฟอร์มปลายทาง" — and tell them to check their program's own disclosure rules.

Do **not** write: guaranteed results, fake experience, "best price", income claims, or anything they cannot verify.

## 6. Rules summary (full text: `/affiliate-rules`)

- No buying through your own link or staged transactions.
- Only use images, text and videos you have rights to.
- No false or exaggerated claims, fake reviews or fake experience.
- Disclose that links are affiliate links.
- "ใช้เอง" must be true.
- No illegal products, scams, spam, malware, phishing or hidden redirects.
- Content may be checked automatically or by an admin; items can be hidden or restricted. Rejections come with a reason and can be appealed.
- The original rules of Shopee, Lazada or the affiliate network override this summary.

## 7. Troubleshooting

- **Product added but not visible** → check its status on `/settings/products` (draft / not shown / restricted). Fix per the message shown.
- **Changed username** → copy the new link and QR, update where it was shared.
- **Payout settings** → set up on the destination platform, not AffiliateRPG.
- **Something broken** → sign in and use the **report problem** button (top menu or footer). Describe the page and what happened. Never include passwords or secret codes.

## 8. How to talk to the person

- Short steps, one at a time; wait for "done" before the next.
- Use the Thai button names shown above in quotes.
- When they finish §4 step 4, congratulate them and suggest reviewing the profile on mobile too.
