How Referral URLs Work

Each affiliate coupon has its own referral URL, made up of your site URL plus a URL variable and the coupon code, for example https://yoursite.com/?coupon=CODE. The variable (“coupon” by default) can be changed in the “Referral Links” settings tab.

When someone visits a referral URL, a referral cookie is stored in their browser for the number of days set in the “Referral Cookie Settings”. While the cookie is active, the coupon is applied automatically at checkout if “Auto Apply Coupon” is enabled, and the visit is recorded as a click for that affiliate. When the visitor places an order, it is attributed to the affiliate and counts towards their conversion rate.

If a visitor follows more than one affiliate’s referral URL, the “Attribution Model” setting decides which affiliate is credited (last-click by default, or first-click). Cookies can also be removed once an order is placed, or disabled entirely in the “Privacy & Cookies” settings tab.

Backend: Admin Settings

All of the referral URL options are found in the “Referral Links” tab of the plugin settings. The tab is split into the following sections:

• Activer la génération d'URL de référence et le suivi des clics – The main toggle for the whole feature.
• Application automatique d'un coupon – Automatically apply the coupon to the cart/checkout if a referral URL was used, and optionally attempt to apply it instantly on the first page visited rather than waiting until the cart or checkout page.
• “Referral URL” Tab – Enable the tab on the affiliate dashboard, and choose whether to show the “Referral Link” generator section and the “Referral Statistics” section. You can also add custom text to display at the top of the tab.
• Referral Link Format – Customise the referral URL variable (for example changing ?coupon= to something else) and the format of the links your affiliates generate.
• URL Conversion Tracking – Options for tracking referrals and conversions from the referral link. See Tracking conversions via referral URL without coupons.
