Version 6.0.0 – New Affiliate Portal!

Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI).

Today we are excited to finally announce the release of Coupon Affiliates version 6.0.0!

We are extremely proud of the progress made throughout the past 3 years with version 5, which included 19 significant updates with a wide variety of fantastic features.

We wanted version 6 to offer a significant improvement to Coupon Affiliates, modernising the plugin and improving user experience was one of the main goals for this update, and will continue to be a high priority over the next few months with future updates we have planned.

With that being said, let’s take a look at what version 6.0.0 of Coupon Affiliates has to offer:

Affiliate Portal

The “affiliate portal” is a new alternative to the regular affiliate dashboard page.

The affiliate portal offers a standalone full-screen interface for your affiliates, with a modern and professional design that can be easily customised to match your own branding.

The new portal is separate and independent from your websites theme. It is simply a new page on your website, but with a custom template.

It looks great on on screen sizes, and does not require any advanced customisations or styling tweaks on your end.

How to enable the affiliate portal

Switching to the affiliate portal is easy. Simply go to the plugins general settings, and select the “enable affiliate portal” option.

Customisations

Here you can customise the portal settings, including the URL slug, portal logo, and footer text.

The colours for the portal sidebar and buttons can be customised in the “Design” settings tab.

Dark Mode

You can also enable a dark mode option, which allows affiliates to choose between a dark or light version of their portal.

The affiliate portal is a great way to take your affiliate program to the next level with a more modern and user friendly interface for your affiliates.

We can’t wait for you to try it out!
