Your affiliate link will be:

Up to 2 affiliates are supported on each link, affiliate IDs can be added by adding the “affiliate1” and “affiliate2” supported parameters, like in the following:
http://127.0.0.1:4001/?f=a8f3c983b227e56af716c951a26819f2&affiliate1=YOUR_AFFILIATE_ID&affiliate2=ANOTHER_AFFILIATE_ID
