Floating Affiliate Widget

1 min read

The floating affiliate widget makes it easier than ever for affiliates to access referral links, statistics, and more, right from any page on your site.

What is the Floating Affiliate Widget?

The Floating Affiliate Widget is a compact, customizable popup that appears as a floating button on your website.

For existing affiliates, when they click the button, it provides instant access to a compact version of their affiliate dashboard. It will display some of the most important dashboard statistics and features, including their referral coupon and links, referral statistics, recently referred orders, payout details, and creatives.

For potential affiliates, it’s an invitation to join your program. When they click the button, it gives them quick access to the registration form. You can also display a customisable “benefits” section on the widget explaining what your affiliate program has to offer.

Key Features

  • Quick Access: Affiliates can view their coupon code, referral links, and stats from anywhere on your site.
  • Tabbed Interface: The widget includes tabs for referral links, statistics, recent orders, payouts, and creatives.
  • Referral Tools: Easily copy referral links, generate short URLs, and share via social media or QR codes.
  • Live Stats: Affiliates can monitor orders, commissions, sales, discounts, clicks, and conversion rates in real time.
  • Recent Orders: View the latest referred orders, including commission earned and order status.
  • Commission Payouts: Track unpaid commissions, request payouts, and view recent payments.
  • Creatives Library: Access banners, images, videos, and brand colors for easy promotion.
  • Responsive Design: The widget is optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
  • Customizable: Admins can configure widget position, color, size, and which tabs/features are enabled.

How Does It Work?

Once enabled in the plugin settings, the widget appears as a floating button on your site.

Affiliates can:

  • Select their coupon (if they have multiple)
  • Copy their coupon code
  • Generate and copy referral links for any page
  • Share links via Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and more
  • Generate and download QR codes for offline sharing
  • View their stats and recent orders
  • Access payouts and creatives

All of this is available without navigating away from the current page, providing a seamless experience for your affiliates.

The floating widget can be used for any type of affiliate program, but is especially great for refer a friend style program, where you want to offer a more compact and simple experience for affiliate users.

How to Enable

  1. Go to Coupon Affiliates > Settings > Widget in your WordPress admin.
  2. Enable the Floating Affiliate Widget and configure its options.
  3. Save your changes. The widget will now appear on your site for eligible users.
