In order to optimize API usage, Memberium lets you control which data you synchronize during login.
The Synchronize Affiliate Records option lets you enable or disable looking up and synchronizing the contact’s affiliate information during login. Synchronizing this data is only useful if your users are Referral Partners and you need to display their information on the site.
Who Should Turn this On?
If you are building a site to support your referral partners, and want to provide them access to their affiliate dashboard, or provide them example affiliate links, then turning this on is useful.
If you are building a site designed for your regular end users, then turn this off and save the API calls.
API Impact
Enabling this feature will add 1 API call every time the user’s contact record is resynchronized.
