Installing the Pushover Notifications addon
Before we get started, be sure to install and activate AffiliateWP on your WordPress site.
Once you’ve got AffiliateWP installed and your license is verified, you’ll be able to quickly install and activate the Pushover Notifications addon.
To use the Pushover Notifications add-on, you’ll need an account with Pushover.net. If you haven’t created one yet, no worries—registration is quick and free!
Setting Up Pushover Notifications
After activating the Pushover Notifications addon, you can configure its settings by going to AffiliateWP » Settings and selecting the Pushover tab. This will display the configuration panel where you need to enter your Pushover Application Key.
If you don’t have a Pushover Application Key yet, you’ll need to create one by logging into your Pushover.net account and registering a new application. Once you’ve registered the application, Pushover will provide you with an Application Key.
Copy this key and paste it into the Pushover settings field in AffiliateWP, then click Save Changes.
Once the Application Key is saved, your affiliates will see a new field in the Affiliate Area under the Settings tab where they can enter their User Key. Affiliates will need to create a Pushover account to obtain their User Key.
After entering their User Key and enabling referral notifications, affiliates will automatically receive push notifications on their devices whenever a new referral is credited to their account, as long as the referral status is marked as Unpaid.
This setup allows affiliates to stay informed in real-time, enhancing their experience and keeping them more engaged with your program.
