AffiliateWP Affiliate Info

Affiliate Info Allows you to display affiliate information based upon the affiliate currently being followed.

When a user clicks an affiliate’s referral URL and arrives on your website, the affiliate’s ID is stored by AffiliateWP. Affiliate Info This simply displays information based upon 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:

1. John’s WordPress display name
2. John’s website URL
3. John’s email address (be careful with this!)
4. John’s Gravatar Image
5. John’s WordPress username
6. John’s biographical info (from his WordPress profile)
7. John’s Twitter username*
8. John’s Facebook URL*
9. John’s Google+ URL*

There are currently 9 shortcodes To show the information above

[affiliate_info_name]
[affiliate_info_website]
[affiliate_info_email]
[affiliate_info_gravatar]
[affiliate_info_username]
[affiliate_info_bio]
[affiliate_info_twitter]*
[affiliate_info_facebook]*
[affiliate_info_googleplus]*

*Note: These fields are shown on a user’s WordPress profile page when the Yoast SEO You have successfully installed the plugin

There’s also 2 shortcodes that you can wrap the above in:

[affiliate_info_referred]
Only show content when an affiliate has been tracked (example: below)

[affiliate_info_not_referred]
Only show affiliate content if they are not being tracked. This is useful for providing a fallback.

If you’re a developer you can access this information directly with some useful PHP functions.

Affiliate Info Also works with AffiliateWP’s Credit Last Referrer option, which means that the information will change every time a new referral URL has been used.

There are many possible uses for this add on:

Showing the customer who referred them

A custom message can be displayed based on the affiliate being followed. You could use this example: “You’ve been referred by John” Or “Your site representative is John”. This builds trust between the affiliates and the user.

Here’s how you can do this:

Your site representative is [affiliate_info_name]

You can use this to make sure that the message only appears when an affiliate is being monitored. [affiliate_info_referred] shortcode:

[affiliate_info_referred]Your site representative is [affiliate_info_name][/affiliate_info_referred]

Let the site visitor contact the affiliate

There may be instances where your affiliates are in direct contact with your customers, so you can show the affiliate’s email address or social media accounts to access them directly.

Create a landing page

Create a landing page for your products that show the current tracked affiliate’s information. This is especially useful for affiliates who do not have a website or who want to control how their products are promoted. Affiliates can link directly from their landing page by providing their referral URL. Their information will be displayed.
