Features & Specs
To use AffiliateWP properly, the External Referral Links Add-On is one of the first tools you’ll want if your affiliates are promoting your products outside your website. Once installed, it allows you to track clicks and sales from any external source—blogs, email newsletters, social media, or partner sites—without needing complicated tracking links. Your affiliates can share ordinary URLs, and the plugin takes care of the rest, so you won’t miss any commissions.
How do external referrals get tracked? Let’s say one of your affiliates writes a blog post with a link to your product. Normally, tracking that referral would be tricky unless they use a special affiliate URL. With this addon, it automatically logs any clicks from external links and attributes them correctly to your affiliate. That means no errors, no missing sales, and no stress for you or your affiliates.
Setting it up is quick and straightforward. Install the addon, go to AffiliateWP settings, and enable External Referral Links. That’s it. Your affiliates can start sharing links immediately. The addon works smoothly with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and MemberPress, so you don’t have to worry about plugin conflicts.
The plugin is lightweight, so even if your affiliates share links everywhere, your site won’t slow down. Because this is the 100% original GPL licensed version, it’s fully legal, update-ready, and completely safe. No cracked files, no nulled versions—just a reliable solution to expand your affiliate program.
In short, the External Referral Links Add-On helps your affiliate program track external campaigns accurately, reward affiliates properly, and grow efficiently. If you want a hassle-free, professional way to manage referrals outside your site, this addon is exactly what you need.
