ConvertKit
AffiliateWP’s opt-in form subscribes visitors to your ConvertKit form, and pays the affiliate who sent them a flat amount for each new subscriber.
Grow Your ConvertKit List Through Your Affiliates
Put AffiliateWP’s opt-in form on any page, and each visitor who fills it in is subscribed to the ConvertKit form you choose. When that visitor came through an affiliate’s link, AffiliateWP also records a referral for the affiliate, at the amount you set.
To add the affiliates themselves to ConvertKit as they join your program, connect the two with the Zapier addon.
How It Works
Connect ConvertKit
Under AffiliateWP › Settings › Opt-In Form, pick ConvertKit and add your API key and Form ID.
Add the opt-in form
Place the Opt-in Form block, or the [opt_in] shortcode, on any page your affiliates link to.
Referred sign-ups earn a referral
A visitor who arrived through an affiliate’s link and subscribes earns that affiliate a referral.
What You Can Set
A flat amount per opt-in
Set what an affiliate earns for each referred subscriber, from zero up.
Pending or unpaid
Record opt-in referrals as pending, to review each one, or as unpaid, ready to pay.
Your own success message
Set the message a subscriber sees after opting in, or send them to a thank-you page instead.
Affiliates in ConvertKit Pro

What You Need
