An affiliate is an individual or entity that promotes a business’s products or services in exchange for a commission. Affiliates earn a percentage of sales or a fixed amount for each successful referral they generate through their unique affiliate links. This model is widely used in online businesses to increase reach and drive sales without the upfront cost of advertising.
For WooCommerce users, integrating an affiliate program can significantly enhance sales by leveraging a network of motivated affiliates. By using an affiliate plugin, WooCommerce store owners can effectively manage affiliate registrations, track referrals, calculate commissions, and process payouts.
