Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You can let the tool generate an Affiliate Area for you. This will create a new page that contains the Affiliates Dashboard. You can later customize the page and add additional pages as needed. Go to Affiliates > Settings > Pages and press the Generate button. You will find a new page titled Affiliate Area on your site which includes the Affiliated Dashboard, providing several Dashboard Sections that streamline the process from partners signing up to providing them their affiliate links and earnings information. You can edit this page and adjust it according to your preferences. The dashboard and its sections can be further customized using templates.
Note: You can create a page and embed a shortcode manually, or you can create an Affiliate Area as outlined above. For example, embed this shortcode on a page: [affiliates_url] This will render a link to your site with the affiliate’s ID appended. If you want to link to a certain page, you can use this shortcode: [affiliates_url]http://www.example.com/somepage[/affiliates_url] If you want to show how a link would look like, you can use the shortcode within HTML as well, for example: <a href="[affiliates_url]">[affiliates_url]</a> Remember to use HTML entities for < and > as shown above.
