# Approving Affiliate accounts in OpenCart

Before an affiliate can use their URLs with their personalized tracking code in them, you as the administrator, must approve the account. If you are not familiar with [how affiliates work in OpenCart](/support/edu/opencart/introduction-to-affiliates-in-opencart/), or you need to [manually create an affiliate account](/support/edu/opencart/manually-creating-affiliate-accounts-in-opencart/), please read our articles. Administrators can approve affiliate accounts in the OpenCart Dashboard.

## How to Approve Affiliate Accounts

1. [Log into your OpenCart Dashboard](/support/)
2. Go to **Sales > Affiliates**
3. Select the Affiliate account to approve by placing a check mark on the left side of the Affiliate name
4. Click “**Approve**” [![affiliate_approve_2](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/opencart_affiliate_approve_2.jpg)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/opencart_affiliate_approve_2.jpg) Now, we can see that we approved 1 new affiliate account.
