# Create Affiliate manually

Creating an affiliate manually allows **store admins** to add affiliates directly from the Shopify admin, without requiring the affiliate to sign up themselves.

This method is useful when you already have a partner, influencer, or internal staff member you want to add to your affiliate program.

### 👥 Who Should Use This Method?

* You already know the affiliate’s email
* You want to skip the signup form

  * Internal team members
* You want full control over affiliate details from the start
