AffiliateWP is a powerful affiliate tracking and management tool for businesses looking to start their own referral program. Unlike other affiliate software, AffiliateWP is built as a WordPress plugin, so you can easily add it to your website.
It also integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, so you’ll have no trouble converting customers into affiliates. Once you create your signup form, AffiliateWP will automatically add it to the most important pages of your store, such as the My Account page, the Dashboard tab, and the checkout confirmation page.
