Affiliate Portal, more than a dashboard
Our whole team keeps working hard on what we were calling the Affiliate Dashboard. Learn more about that on the Beta 1 and Beta 2 blog posts.
But first, you must know, we have decided to change the name.
Affiliate Dashboard is now – 🥁 ➡️ 🎉 – Affiliate Portal.
Previous beta users, be on the lookout
If you upgrade from beta 1 or beta 2, the plugin will now have a new name on your WordPress plugins page: AffiliateWP – Affiliate Portal.
After the plugin has updated, be sure to refresh the Plugins screen and check that the Affiliate Portal plugin is still active. WordPress will deactivate a plugin if the folder name has changed. If it’s not active, click “Activate” underneath the plugin’s name. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
For anyone else using beta 3 for the first time, you do not need to do anything.
Why the name change?
A “dashboard” is typically referred to as a single page where key metrics are displayed (like the WordPress dashboard area).
We feel the word “portal” better describes what the add-on is. It also more closely aligns with existing affiliate marketing terminology.
So Affiliate Portal it is! 🙌
Have you done any other improvements lately?
Oh yeah, plenty.
Referral Link Sharing
Enable your affiliates to easily share links right from the Affiliate Portal. From your WordPress admin, go to Affiliates → Settings → Affiliate Portal and look under Referral Link Sharing. Simply enable Twitter, Facebook and/or Email as desired.
Support for the Custom Affiliate Slugs pro add-on
We’ve added support for our popular Custom Affiliate Slugs pro add-on. Your affiliates will be able save and revise their slug settings all from the new intuitive Affiliate Portal interface.
Allow Affiliate Feedback
Together we can keep making the Affiliate Portal better. If you want to help, you can enable the Allow Affiliate Feedback option from your WordPress admin. Go to Affiliates → Settings → Affiliate Portal to enable the setting.
When enabled, your affiliates can access the feedback screen by clicking the feedback icon in the top right corner of the Portal. They can leave feedback on their experience with the Portal that will go right to us. It’s optional, and we don’t collect any personal data.
Support for the Order Details for Affiliates add-on
If you use the WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads integrations you can allow affiliates to see referral order details. For example: customer name, order amount, or order number. Use the Order Details for Affiliates offical free add-on and you will love how it looks within the Affiliate Portal.
