ReferOn introduces Personal Access Tokens (PAT), a streamlined way for operators, affiliates, and technical teams to authenticate with the platform’s API faster, safer, and with far less complexity.
Previously, connecting to a platform’s API required going through legacy authentication endpoints, which added extra steps to the setup process. Now, with PATs, users can generate a dedicated token directly inside their ReferOn profile and connect to the API immediately — no multi-step flows and no unnecessary configuration.
What Are Personal Access Tokens?
A Personal Access Token is an auto-generated authentication token that enables system access to the ReferOn API without dealing with legacy authentication endpoints or multi-step token flows.
PATs make API integrations:
- Faster: A single token is generated in seconds
- Simpler: No multi-step authentication flows, just straightforward API access.
- Safer: User-level control, including configurable expiration and instant access revocation.
All ReferOn API endpoints are served under a single domain (api.referon.com), making integrations more predictable, easier to automate, and better suited for high-growth affiliate operations.
Why Does This Matter?
Modern affiliate programs are handling more data, more partners, and more workflows than ever before. The pressure on reporting, payouts, and tracking is growing fast, and every manual step in an integration becomes a bottleneck. PATs eliminate friction from API authentication, making integrations faster and reducing dependency on outdated, multi-step flows.
With PATs, teams can:
- Automate daily, repetitive tasks to reduce workload
- Sync data across departments and workflows instantly
- Reduce time spent on technical implementation and setup
Vlad Bondarenko, Head of Product, adds, “Every feature we ship follows the same core principle: remove friction and give teams more control. PATs do exactly that by replacing the old authentication flow with a single, predictable token, making automation easier and helping affiliate programs scale without extra operational load.”
Ready to Scale?
PATs are a crucial addition to the platform but just one part of a much bigger picture. ReferOn is built for teams who want cleaner data, faster operations, and a platform that empowers you by doing the heavy lifting. ReferOn is designed to scale your affiliate network, not overcomplicate it.
