Understanding the Affiliate Area
Once AffiliateWP is installed, the Affiliate Area page is added automatically. This page includes the Affiliate Area block, which dynamically displays affiliate-specific content when the user is logged in as an affiliate.
Each section in the Affiliate Area is designed to give affiliates insight into their performance and tools to promote your products effectively. These sections include Affiliate URLs, Statistics, Graphs, Referrals, Visits, Creatives, and Settings.
Affiliate URLs
In the Affiliate URLs section, affiliates can enter a URL into the Page URL field and click Create Custom Link.
Their affiliate ID or username is automatically appended, and their generated URL is saved for future use. If an affiliate hovers over any of the Custom Link entries, two options will appear to allow them to copy or edit the link.
Statistics
The Statistics section provides affiliates with detailed statistics about their referrals, earnings, and performance. This section includes visual graphs and data summaries to help affiliates track their success over time.
Graphs
The Graphs section visually represents affiliate performance metrics, such as earnings, referrals, and visits. These graphs help affiliates quickly assess their progress and identify trends.
Referrals
The Referrals section lists all the referrals made by the affiliate. Affiliates can see the status of each referral, the amount earned, and other relevant details.
Visits
In the Visits section, affiliates can view information about the visits they have generated. This includes data on the number of visits, conversion rates, and other key metrics.
Creatives
The Creatives section provides affiliates with promotional materials, such as banners, links, and other assets. Affiliates can use these materials to promote your products or services effectively.
Settings
The Settings section allows affiliates to manage their account details, including updating their payment information and preferences. Affiliates can also customize their profile settings as needed.
