Description
The Affiliate Info add-on displays the referring affiliate’s data right on the page, providing shortcodes like [affiliate_info_name], [affiliate_info_email], [affiliate_info_gravatar] e [affiliate_info_bio] to insert name, email, photo, and biography into any post, page, or widget. The extension also includes AffiliateWP’s Credit Last Referrer option, updating the content based on the tracking URL used by the visitor.
Key Features
- Identification shortcodes: display the display name, username, website, email, and biography saved in the affiliate’s WordPress profile.
- Gravatar shortcode: automatically renders the Gravatar image associated with the affiliate’s email to humanize the referral.
- Social shortcodes: display the affiliate’s Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ when Yoast SEO is installed and the fields are filled in on the profile.
- Conditional wrappers: [affiliate_info_referred] shows blocks only when a tracked affiliate exists, and [affiliate_info_not_referred] displays alternative content when there isn’t one.
- PHP functions for developers: programmatic access to the same data to customize templates, blocks, and dynamic areas in addition to the shortcodes.
Benefits of Affiliate Info
- Referral visible to the visitor: shows who sent the traffic and creates direct social proof within the purchase flow.
- Direct contact with the affiliate: displays email and social profiles so the lead can talk to the person who referred them.
- Reference-based dynamic pages: lets messages, offers, or authors appear differently depending on the originating affiliate.
- Controlled fallback: with the non-referred wrapper, the site keeps a neutral version for visitors who arrived organically.
Who Is It For?
- Affiliate programs in AffiliateWP that want to humanize the journey by showing the name and photo of the person who referred them.
- Marketing teams that build personalized landing pages per affiliate for partnership campaigns.
- Stores, info products, and services that rely on social proof and direct contact with the referrer to close conversions.
Designed for affiliate program managers who want to personalize the experience of the referred visitor and give visibility to the partner responsible for the referral within the site.
