Turn Your Customers into Reliable Affiliates Right Away

Tired of seeing potential affiliates walk away? It might be time to simplify the sign-up steps.

The Affiliate Signup Widget is designed to streamline the process, making it more inviting and less overwhelming for your customers. They’re already excited about your product; now give them an instant way to share that excitement as affiliates.

Here’s the deal: The Widget automatically appears in high-traffic areas like the WooCommerce My Account page. They click once, and they’re in—no detours, no fuss. 

But here’s the best part about Affiliate Signup Widget, it is intelligently designed to show up only for customers who have already completed at least one order.  This means it shows up for customers whose orders are not just placed, but fully paid and marked “completed.”

This ensures that your new affiliates are not just anyone, but customers who have truly engaged with your store.

But the real question, what’s in it for you? 

Each new affiliate is a channel for more sales. They’ll spread the word, and their enthusiasm becomes your profit. Simple for them, profitable for you.

Ready to watch your affiliate program—and sales—soar?

Customize the Affiliate Signup Widget

Your brand’s image is crucial in every customer touchpoint, including your affiliate program. Recognizing this, we’ve made sure you have the ability to fully customize the new Affiliate Signup Widget to align with your brand identity. 

Here’s how you can make the widget truly your own:

Set Your Brand Colors

Color can influence perception and behavior, so it’s important that your widget reflects your brand’s palette. Choose your primary brand color, and our widget will automatically create a complementary color palette for you. 

This seamless integration ensures your widget not only stands out but also feels like a natural part of your website.

Choose the Right Imagery

Visuals capture attention and can significantly enhance user engagement.

If your brand’s story is best told through imagery, the Image option lets you choose a background that complements your brand’s narrative, making the widget a function and part of your brand’s story.

Customize Widget Text

The words on your widget can inspire customers to join your affiliate program.

Customize the Heading to invite customers compellingly, and use the Text field to explain the benefits they’ll enjoy as affiliates. 

Be concise and persuasive – this is where potential affiliates make the decision to join your affiliate program.

Your button text is the CTA for your potential affiliates. It should be direct and action-oriented. 

Customize it to align with your brand’s voice, whether it’s a simple Join Now or a more personal Start Your Journey with Us.

Confirmation 

Once a customer takes the step to join your affiliate program, it’s crucial to make them feel welcomed and reassured. 

In the customizations, you can also customize the Confirmation Heading and Text to thank them and provide guidance on their next steps.

We believe that customization is key, and we make it easy to see the changes you make in real-time. Our live preview feature allows you to view adjustments as you make them. 

Whether it’s a color change, text adjustment, or setting up the confirmation message, you can see exactly how it will appear to your users.

You can even simulate the affiliate’s signup confirmation step by clicking the toggle switch (shown below) or clicking the primary button in the preview. Toggle between each step to ensure everything is set up just as you want.

Seamless Experience for New Affiliates

When customers turn into affiliates via the Affiliate Signup Widget, they’re not left wondering what to do next. Immediately after signing up, they see their unique affiliate link displayed prominently.

This means they can copy it to their clipboard and start sharing it instantly, turning their enthusiasm into action without any delay.

Also, we understand the importance of clear guidelines for your affiliate program. That’s why, if you have set up a Terms of Use page, a link to these terms will be displayed directly on the widget.

This ensures transparency and helps maintain trust between you and your new affiliates.

Consistent Referral Settings

Your customization goes beyond aesthetics.

If you have Referral Variable, Pretty Affiliate URLs, or Default Referral Format enabled or prefer using IDs or usernames, these settings will be reflected in the affiliate link shown on the widget.

This ensures consistency in your referral program, right from the start.
