However, affiliates still need to fill in their payment information in their accounts (if needed) so you can process payment. *For example*, you choose Store Credit as the default payment method for program A. When affiliate B signs up for program A, their payment method will automatically be selected as Store Credit. To set up the feature, please go to **Programs** > **Add program** or **Edit program** > scroll down to the bottom > select the **Default payment method** from the list. That list shows all payment options you've chosen for this program previously in **Settings** > **Payment** > **Payment method**. If you don't select a default payment method, affiliates will need to manually choose a payment from the list on their accounts.
set up payment methods
When the Default payment method is set up, if you enable the field **Payment method** in **Settings** > **Registration form** > **Form fields**, it will also automatically select that default payment for affiliates on the registration form.
