How can we help?

Answers to the most common questions about setting up and promoting your page. Can't find what you need? Get in touch.

Getting started

What AutoTeamBuilder is and the first things to set up.

It's your own page plus a ready-made sign-up page for every program you promote, all under one link you can share — so the people you refer land somewhere that credits you.

Open your dashboard and follow the Fast-Start checklist top to bottom: personalize your page, activate an opportunity, turn on follow-up, save your tool links, then share your page. The getting-started guide walks through each step, and the "Next" button there launches a quick on-page walkthrough.

Your AutoTeamBuilder page and link are free. Individual opportunities you choose to activate may have their own costs (shown on each opportunity's card before you join) — those are set and charged by the program itself, not by us.

Activity & your seat

What the "Not active yet" badge means and how seat recycling keeps teams fair.

New members show that badge until they take their first action — signing back in, personalizing their page, activating an opportunity, or holding a seat for someone. The moment they do anything, the badge disappears. While a member is "Not active yet", automatic spillover routes to active members first, so new sign-ups always land under teammates who are actually building. Their own seat and your relationship with them are unaffected — a friendly nudge is usually all it takes to get them going.

To keep teams fair, we recycle unused seats: if a member never takes a single action, their sponsor gets a heads-up first, the member gets a friendly reminder with a one-click sign-in, and after the notice period an untouched seat is recycled so new members keep landing under active teammates. This only ever applies to accounts with no activity at all and no team under them — and anyone whose seat was recycled can rejoin free anytime and get a fresh seat.

Your page & subdomain

Personalizing your page and choosing your link.

Go to Profile & settingsYour subdomain, type the name you want (3–30 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens), wait for the availability check, and Save. Your link becomes yourname.autoteambuilder.com.

Your old subdomain is reserved to you and shows a friendly "this page has moved" notice that points visitors to your current link, so traffic isn't lost. Update your shared links to the new one when you can.

In Profile & settings set your display name and photo, and tidy your link-in-bio. A personalized page builds trust with the people you share it with.

Opportunities & affiliate IDs

Activating programs and entering your affiliate ID.

You can promote the opportunities currently listed in the AutoTeamBuilder catalog — browse them on Opportunities. The lineup is curated by AutoTeamBuilder and changes over time, so it's whatever is listed at the moment, not any program in the world. If there's one you'd like added, you can suggest it from the Opportunities page — but new additions are reviewed and aren't guaranteed or instant.

Open Opportunities, choose one, and press Activate. You'll be asked for your affiliate ID for that program so sign-ups credit you, then it's added to your page.

It lives inside that program's back office — usually under Settings → Affiliate or in your referral link. You can paste your full affiliate URL into the activation field and we'll pull the ID out for you. It's your public ID only — never your password.

Yes — you need to be a member/affiliate of a program before you can promote it here, because we attach your ID. If you don't have one yet, each opportunity's card and activation screen include a link to join it through your upline.

Double-check you pasted your own affiliate link (not the program's generic homepage), that it's the live link from your back office, and that there are no extra spaces. If it still won't verify, save it anyway — the warning doesn't block you — and confirm the link works by opening it yourself.

This is per-program crediting — separate from your overall AutoTeamBuilder team. Your alignment for a program should match your real genealogy in that program's back office — the upline you actually joined under. If it doesn't line up (you already had an account and joined on your own, or an upline flagged that you're not in their downline), fix it yourself:

  1. Open the program from your dashboard or Opportunities and choose Find my upline.
  2. Enter one verifiable detail about your real upline — ideally their affiliate ID or back-office email from that program (a name works as a last resort).
  3. They confirm. We notify that person; once they confirm, your account is aligned to their team for that program.

It's always mutual — no one is attached to an upline without that upline confirming — and it's per program, so it only affects that program's alignment, not your overall position. Nothing changes until both sides confirm, and your page and links keep working the whole time. An upline can also flag someone who isn't really on their team, which sends that member into the same flow. This lines your account up with your real team; it doesn't change how the program's own back office credits you.

Paying for programs

Splitting a start-up cost into payments with a pay-anywhere virtual card.

Yes — with a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) virtual card. Services like Klarna, Affirm, Sezzle and Zip give you a virtual Visa/Mastercard in their app; you pay the program with that card like a normal card, and repay the BNPL service in installments (usually 4 interest-free payments over 6 weeks). The program doesn't need to "accept" Klarna or Affirm — the virtual card works anywhere ordinary cards do.

The Tools & links page lists the providers available in your country, each with a sign-up link. These are independent third-party services — approval, limits and fees are set by each provider, and late or missed payments may incur fees. Not financial advice.

  1. Get the app: sign up at Klarna (link on Tools & links) and get approved.
  2. Create a One-time card in the Klarna app — a virtual Visa for the amount you need (roughly $35–$2,000).
  3. Pay the program's checkout with that card number like a normal Visa. Use it soon — an unused One-time card expires after about 24 hours.
  4. Repay Klarna in 4 interest-free installments.

Klarna may charge a small service fee ($1–$3) for One-time cards at stores that aren't Klarna partners. Terms vary by country and are set by Klarna, not AutoTeamBuilder.

  1. Sign up with Affirm (link on Tools & links) — US and Canada.
  2. Create a virtual card in the Affirm app for your purchase amount and add it to Apple/Google wallet, or copy the card number.
  3. Enter it at the program's checkout like a normal Visa — it works anywhere Visa is accepted.
  4. Repay Affirm — Pay in 4 is interest-free; longer plans may carry interest shown up front.

Approval and limits are set by Affirm. Not financial advice.

  1. Sign up with Sezzle (link on Tools & links) — US and Canada.
  2. Turn on "Sezzle Anywhere" — the pay-anywhere virtual card requires one of Sezzle's paid plans (small monthly subscription).
  3. Create the virtual card in the app, add it to your wallet or copy the number, and pay the program's checkout like a normal card.
  4. Repay Sezzle in 4 interest-free installments.

Plan pricing and limits are set by Sezzle. Not financial advice.

  1. Sign up with Zip (link on Tools & links).
  2. Start a purchase in the Zip app — it generates a virtual card for that order.
  3. Enter the card at the program's checkout like a normal Visa.
  4. Repay Zip in 4 payments over 6 weeks — no interest, but Zip charges a small per-order fee.

Fees and limits are set by Zip. Not financial advice.

Usually, yes. Tools & links automatically shows the providers that operate in your country: Klarna (US, UK, much of Europe, AU/CA/NZ), Clearpay (UK), Scalapay (Italy/France/Spain and more of Europe), Twisto (Czechia/Poland/Slovakia), Atome (Southeast Asia), Tabby and Tamara (Middle East). Each offers a virtual or physical card you can use at any checkout, repaid in interest-free installments. Terms vary by provider and country; late payments may incur fees. Not financial advice.

Follow-up & tool links

Connecting systeme.io and saving your referral links.

The top section of Tools & links lists well-known apps and services (banks, cash-back, investing, money-transfer — SoFi, Wise, Chime, Rakuten and many more) that are free to join and pay referral bonuses. Join the ones you'd actually use, save your own referral link on the page, and when someone signs up through your link the program's bonus goes to you. Each program sets its own bonus terms — amounts vary and are never guaranteed.

The Tools & links and Traffic sources pages list places to put your page in front of people: solo ads (e.g. Udimi — you pay a seller to email your link to their list), traffic exchanges and safelists (e.g. LeadsLeap, CashJuice, The Downliner, Herculist — mostly free, you earn views by viewing others), and paid click services (e.g. TrafficZest, The Click Engine). Save your own referral link for each so people you refer credit to you. Start free, test small before spending, and track results with tagged links on Promote. Results vary and are never guaranteed.

Go to Tools & linksConnect your autoresponder. In systeme.io, open Settings → MCP & API keys → Create, copy the Public API key, and paste it in. We store it encrypted and use it only to add the leads you capture, so they get your welcome sequence automatically.

systeme.io has a free plan. There's a "Get systeme.io free" link right on the Tools & links page that signs you up through your upline.

These are your referral links for tools and traffic sources (the things you recommend). Saving the full link on Tools & links means when someone signs up through one, the credit is yours. Paste the whole link, not just an ID — we check it's on the right domain and live before saving.

Promoting & traffic

Sharing your page, tagged links, and where sign-ups come from.

Share your page. On Promote you'll find share-ready landing pages with a copy button — grab a personalized link and post it where your audience is. Any tagged link you post shows up under "Where your sign-ups come from" automatically.

A tagged link is your page link with tracking added (channel/source/ad), built in the composer on Promote. Posting tagged links lets you see which channels actually bring sign-ups, so you can do more of what works.

Start with your own audience (social, email, anyone who asks). The Traffic sources page lists free traffic exchanges and safelists, with a saved referral link for each so sign-ups credit you. Results vary and are never guaranteed.

Analytics & stats

Reading your Results tabs on Promote and the full analytics dashboard.

On Promote, open the Results panel and click Full analytics. That opens your personal analytics dashboard — visits, real-time activity, locations, devices, campaigns, goals and more, scoped to your own subdomain and custom domains. No extra login needed; close it with the × button.

Use the calendar control at the top of the dashboard. Click it to pick a preset (day, week, month, year) or a custom range, then Apply. Every report on the page updates to the range you chose.

In your full analytics, open Visitors → Real-time to watch visits as they happen — each row is one visit with its country, device, and the pages viewed. There's also a real-time map. If it's quiet, it fills in the moment someone clicks one of your tracked links.

Visitors → Visits log lists every recorded visit individually: when it happened, where it came from, the visitor's country and device, and every action they took. It's the most detailed view — great for checking whether a specific promotion brought real people.

Yes. In your full analytics, open Goals → Manage goals to add your own (for example "reached my booking page"). Two goals are set up for you automatically: Sign-up and Opportunity activation — they record automatically whenever someone converts through your links.

Hits counts every click, repeats included; Unique counts distinct visitors. A wide gap between them usually means a traffic site keeps showing your ad to the same people — useful for judging whether a source is worth your credits.

Your personal analytics starts collecting from the moment your account's dashboard is first set up, so brand-new accounts (or brand-new reports like goals) show empty until traffic arrives. Post a tracked link from Promote and the reports fill in — real-time shows it within seconds.

Yes — verified custom domains are included in your personal analytics site alongside your subdomain, so visits to either count in the same dashboard.

The Results tabs on Promote are measured at our server and count every tracked click — nothing is lost to ad blockers or consent choices. The analytics dashboard measures visits in more detail (pages, duration, devices) and applies its own bot filtering, so counts can differ slightly. Both are right; they measure at different points.

Custom domain

Using your own domain instead of a subdomain.

Yes. In Profile & settings you can connect a custom domain so your page lives at your own web address. You get one free custom domain, plus one more per active opportunity.

Profile & settings shows the exact records for your domain: a verification TXT record at your apex, plus an A record (or CNAME/ALIAS) so the domain points at us. Add them at your domain registrar, then come back and verify — DNS can take a little while to propagate.

Your team & getting paid

How your downline and commissions work.

Everyone on AutoTeamBuilder shares one team structure, and you take a position in it. Your downline can grow two ways: people you personally refer, and spillover — when the members above you bring in more people than their front line can hold, those extra sign-ups are passed down and can be placed under you. So team members can land beneath you even when you didn't personally refer them.

It works in turns for fairness: once your front-line spots are full, the next sign-ups are placed under your teammates before anyone gets a second, so the overflow spreads down the line. Spillover depends on activity in and above your line, though — early on, before people are joining, there may be no one to place yet, and it's never guaranteed.

Yes. On My team, any open direct slot has a Hold this seat for someone button. Reserving it gives you a personal invite link — share it by text, email, or however you like — and when that person signs up through it, they're placed exactly in that seat, directly under you. While a seat is reserved, spillover and other sign-ups skip it, so nobody can take the spot you're holding.

The details: you can hold up to 2 seats at a time (one direct slot always stays open so your team keeps growing), a reservation lasts 7 days and can be renewed once, and you can release a seat back to spillover any time. If your invitee misses the window, the seat simply reopens — and their link still lands them on your team the normal way. Reserved-seat invites even work while public sign-ups are paused.

Yes — extra direct seats are earned by referring. Each new seat unlocks when your personal referrals could have filled another full level of your team: 12 qualified referrals unlock seat 4, 39 unlock seat 5, 120 unlock seat 6, and it keeps going — there's no cap. A qualified referral is someone you personally referred who is active and has activated at least one program.

When a new seat unlocks, it's held for you for 48 hours so you can decide who fills it — save it for someone specific with an invite link, or release it and let spillover fill it. Your progress toward the next seat is shown right under your slots on My team.

No — a spot in the team is a position, not income. Whether a member placed under you earns you anything depends on whether you've set your referral link for the program they join: each program credits and pays per its own rules, and results vary. So save your referral links on Tools & links and activate the opportunities you want to be credited for. A position can put people near you; getting paid still comes from the programs and your own effort.

Each opportunity pays its own affiliates directly, through its own program and compensation plan — AutoTeamBuilder is the hub that helps you promote, not the payer. Check each program's comp plan and income disclosure for how and when it pays. Earnings depend on your effort and results, and are never guaranteed.

Your Team page shows the people in your downline and your network growth. Your dashboard shows recent activity at a glance.

When it's available on your account, the co-op lets active uplines pledge a slice of their traffic to members of their team. You can open a request on the Co-op page.

Yes — while you're new. If you joined under the wrong person, or you arrived on the main site with no inviter recorded, you can move to your correct team from Your team: enter who invited you (their username, account email, or page link), they confirm, and you're on their team. It's mutual — nothing changes until they confirm — and your page and links keep working the whole time.

Do this before anyone joins under you. Once you have a downline, moving you would move them too, and they're usually placed there because of your current upline — so a switch isn't self-serve at that point. If you have a downline and believe it's a genuine error, request an admin review. (This is your overall AutoTeamBuilder team; fixing crediting inside a single program is separate — see Opportunities.)

Account & sign-in

Logging in, your email, and language.

There are no passwords. Enter your email on the sign-in page and we email you a one-tap magic link each time. Open the link on the same device and you're in.

Check your spam/promotions folder and wait a minute, then request a fresh one (older links expire). Make sure you used the same email you signed up with. Links are single-use, so always click the newest email.

In Profile & settings use "Request email change." For your security it's a double-confirmation flow — you'll confirm from both the old and new address before it switches.

Yes — use the language switcher in the top navigation. Public pages have translated versions, and member pages translate in place.

Yes. Go to Notifications and open Email preferences. There's a master switch for notification emails, plus a checkbox for each type — new team member, spillover, co-op requests, alignment confirmations, support replies and more — so you can mute the ones you don't want and keep the rest. Everything still appears in your in-app notifications; the preference only controls email.

No matches — try different words, or get in touch and we'll help.
