Best Practices

Benefits

Be specific - Show exact perks (commission %, support level)
Use icons - Visual appeal for each benefit
4-6 benefits - Focus on most valuable perks

Requirements

Realistic thresholds - Don’t set too high or too low
Multiple platforms - Cast a wider net
Show metrics clearly - “5,000+ Subscribers” is clear

FAQ

Answer common questions - Payment, rates, application process
Be transparent - Clear commission structure
5-8 questions - Enough info, not overwhelming

CTA

Clear instructions - Tell them exactly what to do
Pre-filled email - Makes applying easier
Response time - Set expectations (24-48 hours)

Troubleshooting

Benefits not showing

Check all required fields: icon, title, description, color (with as const)

Requirements layout broken

Each requirement needs: platform, metric, label, icon, color

Email button not working

Ensure mailto format is correct:

action: {
  type: "mailto",
  email: "partners@domain.com",
  subject: "Subject Here",
  body: "Body text with %0D%0A for line breaks"
}

Icons not displaying

Use Lucide icon names in camelCase. Check available icons at lucide.dev

Partner Showcase

Showcase your current partners with avatars, descriptions, and social links:

partners: [

    socials: {
      website: "https://pixelmaster.com",

Avatar Generation

Use DiceBear API to generate consistent avatars: Format:

https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/adventurer/svg?seed=YourName

Change the seed:

Use partner name as seed for consistency
Remove spaces or use URL encoding
Each unique seed generates a unique avatar

Examples:

seed=TechCraft → Specific avatar
seed=GamingWithAlex → Different avatar
seed=PixelMaster → Another unique avatar

Or use custom images:

avatar: "/images/partners/techcraft.jpg"  // Place in public/images/partners/

Best Practices

8-12 partners - Good showcase without overwhelming
Consistent descriptions - Keep them short (2-3 words)
Active links - Only include current social accounts
Real avatars - Use actual partner logos if available
Update regularly - Add new partners, remove inactive ones
