Build Status

  • LarsHomes deployed successfully (10 files uploaded including images)
  • One test failed: mockProperties export issue in PropertiesPage.test.tsx

CJ Affiliate Account Setup (In Progress)

Account: CID 7860794 (mslugga35@yahoo.com)

  • ✅ Network profile completed
  • ✅ Promotional property added
  • ✅ Payment info (PayPal mslugga35@yahoo.com)
  • ✅ Tax form (W-9 submitted 30-Jan-2026)

Blocking Issue Found:

  • "Enter company details and submit tax forms" step incomplete
  • Account Information page was EMPTY (no org name, address, phone)
  • Tax form shows "nullnull" in address field (likely due to missing company details)

Filled In:

  • Organization Name: Matthew Morales
  • Address: 772 Maple Leaf Loop
  • City: Winter Springs
  • State: Florida
  • Zip: 32708
  • Country: United States

Still Needed:

  • ❌ Phone number (REQUIRED field) - waiting for Matt to provide
  • Once phone added → Save → should complete step 8/9
  • Then click "ACTIVATE ACCOUNT" button

Next: Get Matt's phone, save form, activate account, then apply to affiliate programs (Moving.com, Rocket Mortgage, etc.)

Update: CJ has a bug - W-9 shows "nullnull" in address, blocking activation. Matt emailing support.

Task Complexity Note

The LarsHomes affiliate applications span multiple platforms with complex UIs. Impact.com uses external onboarding flows for some brands. Manual attention recommended for:

  1. Complete Lemonade onboarding (started but redirected)
  2. Search for Handy and TurboTenant on Impact.com
  3. Sign up for direct programs (Belong, TurboTenant, LendingTree)
  4. Create ShareASale account and apply to PODS
