WOOCOMMERCE AFFILIATES

A WooCommerce affiliate plugin lets you create and manage an affiliate program in your store. Instead of relying only on paid ads, you build a network of promoters, customers, bloggers and influencers who bring traffic and conversions to your store while earning commission in return. It tracks referrals, commission and conversions, helping you turn customers, bloggers and influencers into revenue-generating partners. 

A WooCommerce affiliate program works by assigning each affiliate a unique referral link or coupon code that tracks the traffic and sales they generate.

Here’s how it typically flows:

• Visitors click the link and make a purchase

• The system tracks the sale and assigns a commission

Everything from visits to payouts is tracked automatically within your dashboard.
