What It Does

Affiliate Info allows you to show affiliate information based on the affiliate currently being tracked. When a user clicks an affiliate’s referral URL and arrives on your website, the affiliate’s ID is stored by AffiliateWP. Affiliate Info simply shows information based on the tracked affiliate.

Let’s say you have an affiliate named John who shares his referral URL. Any user that clicks on John’s referral link can now see a variety of information about John, anywhere on your website.

You can show John’s WordPress display name, website URL, email address, gravatar image, username, biographical info, Twitter username, Facebook URL, and Google+ URL. There are currently 9 shortcodes to show the information above.

Affiliate Info also works in tandem with AffiliateWP’s Credit Last Referrer option which means the information will change each time a new referral URL is used. Some potential uses for this add-on include showing the customer who referred them, allowing the site visitor to contact the affiliate, and creating a landing page for your products.

AffiliateWP provides a complete affiliate management system for your WordPress website that seamlessly integrates with all major WordPress e-commerce and membership platforms.
