AffiliateWP - Direct Link Tracking

Plugin · Paid

Visit website

Paid add-on for AffiliateWP that lets affiliates register their own domains so visits from those sites are credited without a referral link. The referring domain is matched from the HTTP referrer and recorded as an AffiliateWP visit. Affiliates submit domains from the Affiliate Area and managers approve or reject them. It suits affiliate programmes with bloggers or partner sites. It relies on the browser sending a referrer, which many sites and browsers trim or block.

Pros

  • Affiliates can link with plain URLs, no referral parameter needed
  • Approval workflow with optional emails to managers and affiliates
  • Global and per-affiliate domain limits plus a domain blacklist

Cons

  • Requires AffiliateWP and an AffiliateWP licence
  • Depends on the HTTP referrer, which is often missing or trimmed
  • Updates are tied to the AffiliateWP add-on updater
