affiliate links
-
Hello. I’m the owner of Darwins Grip and run my store through Wix. The way I do most of my advertisement is through YouTubers that have a promo code. This is slow and I want to take myself out of the loop. I’m looking for a way that I can offer the YouTubers a link so they can track their progress and for this to be almost 100% on autopilot. Wix’s doesn’t offer this setup but I was told you guys do. Can someone point me in the right direction and I will switch from Wix to you guys in a heartbeat. Thanks in advance! Robbie

Hi Robbie,
We don’t offer any such feature on WordPress.com, nor does the open source WordPress software. But what sets WordPress apart from a service like Wix is that it is infinitely extendable – there exists tens of thousands of plugins to add additional features to the basic WordPress software, and if a plugin doesn’t yet exist for what you want to do, it’s most likely possible to create one.
For example, you can use this add-on for the WooCommerce ecommerce plugin to run an affiliate program on a WooCommerce store:
You can contact WooCommerce support directly if you have questions about that specific plugin at https://woocommerce.com/contact-us/#sales-form
Or for more advice on specific plugins you can use to create something like this, you can ask the WordPress.org community at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ – the people in that forum are the people who make the WordPress software and plugins for that software, so should be able to suggest more options for you.
The forum you’re posting in now is for the hosting provider, WordPress.com. Using plugins with us requires our Business Plan, and this forum only provides support to free users who cannot use plugins, so we simply don’t have the knowledge and experience here to give you this kind of in-depth advice.
Let me know if you have any questions :)
