# UpPromote Settings: Set Up and Control Your Program

Learn what you can configure in UpPromote Settings, from general options and affiliate links to integrations, fraud protection, and tax documents.

Settings is where you fine-tune how your affiliate program runs. When you open **Settings**, you land on the **General** tab by default.&#x20;

From there, you can adjust everything from your contact email to fraud protection.
