Introducing Affiliate Link Discounts, Elementor Referral Tracking & More

We kicked off the year strong, and there’s no way we’re slowing down. 

We’re super excited to introduce all the awesome features we’ve recently released: Affiliate Link Discounts, Elementor Referral Tracking, and a Thrive Apprentice Integration.

From integrating instant discounts directly through affiliate links, to streamlining Thrive Apprentice sales into referrals without WooCommerce, to accurately tracking leads through Elementor form submissions for precise affiliate referral tracking, we’ve tackled your core challenges.

Eager to learn more?

Let’s explore how our latest version makes it all possible.

Instantly Apply Discounts for Customers Clicking on Affiliate Links

Our first new feature is here to bridge the gap between affiliate promotions and immediate customer rewards: Affiliate Link Discounts.

In the past, customers arriving via affiliate links didn’t get any instant rewards, and the added task of remembering an affiliate coupon code at checkout could deter them from completing their purchase.

Affiliate Link Discounts solve this by directly linking an affiliate’s dynamic coupon to their referral link within WooCommerce. Now, when customers click through, they automatically receive a discount. 

A confirmation notification alerts customers to the discount, encouraging them to complete their purchase. We’ve gone the extra mile by offering it in light and dark styles, with an optional setting allowing the notification to adapt to the customer’s system theme settings. 

And this notification won’t vanish until the customer closes it or navigates to a different page, ensuring they fully recognize the discount they’ve received.

It’s a small detail, but one we believe will make a big difference for you and your affiliates.

To enable Affiliate Link Discounts, navigate to AffiliateWP, click Settings » Coupons, and check the Enable Affiliate Link Discounts box.

And that’s it. 

Now, when affiliates share their referral link with an assigned dynamic coupon, customers who click on the link will have discounts automatically applied to their carts. This applies even if the cart is empty, ensuring the discount is ready when they proceed to checkout.

Check out the complete documentation.

This instant benefit is a win-win for your affiliates, who can offer unique discounts through their referral links, and customers who’ll enjoy a more seamless shopping experience.

Enable Referral Tracking on Elementor Forms

Want to boost your form submissions and generate more leads from affiliate referrals using Elementor forms? Now you can, with our new Elementor Referral Tracking.

By enabling the Elementor integration in AffiliateWP, you can automatically create referrals when a referred visitor submits a form.

Now, with affiliates able to promote your Elementor forms, you can capture a wider range of conversions like form submissions or newsletter signups, enhancing affiliate marketing efforts beyond just sales.

This way, affiliates gain new ways to earn, promoting more than products, leading to a richer, more engaged affiliate program.

To enable, go to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations, enable Elementor.

Now, add the AffiliateWP Action to your Elementor form. This automatically enables the referral tracking feature. For detailed steps, check out our documentation. 

Now, in your Elementor form, you can choose the Referral Amount, Referral Type, Referral Status and start mapping your fields. That’s it.

Once a referral is generated through a form submission, you can manage it directly from AffiliateWP » Referrals.

Furthermore, a new Lead Details section will appear on the referral’s edit screen whenever a referral is created. It will provide essential information, such as the lead’s first name, last name, and email.

Simplify Affiliate Referrals for Thrive Apprentice Courses

Previously, you had to integrate WooCommerce with AffiliateWP to generate referrals for Thrive Apprentice courses. 

While effective, it introduced several steps to the setup, requiring additional plugins and configurations.

But we have good news for you!!

With our Thrive Apprentice Integration, you can now allow referrals to be created directly when a course is purchased through Thrive Apprentice using Stripe, bypassing the need for WooCommerce altogether. 

By removing the WooCommerce dependency, you no longer need to install and configure WooCommerce solely for course sales and affiliate referrals. 

The best part? Setting it up is as simple as ticking a checkbox to enable the Thrive Apprentice integration in AffiliateWP. That’s it.

Upon activation, courses bought through Thrive Apprentice with Stripe will generate a referral in AffiliateWP, but only if the purchase is made through an affiliate referral. These referrals can then be tracked directly from the Referrals admin screen in AffiliateWP.

Do not forget to check out our detailed documentation to find out more.
