Setting Up the Affiliate View/Area/Portal

The affiliate portal is the section of your site where potential affiliates can sign up for an account and log in to access their affiliate codes for promoting your products or services. Affiliates can also view referral statistics, including clicks, sales, and payouts, from the affiliate portal.

When you install the plugin, an affiliate portal page is automatically created. You can find the URL of this page in the plugin’s settings menu. The following information is only provided if you wish to customize or override the default settings.

There are a few ways you can setup the affiliate view/area/portal when using the the Affiliate Platform plugin (choose the one that best suits your design needs).

• Option 1 – affiliate area style 1
• Option 2 – affiliate area style 2
• Option 3 – affiliate area style 3
