Features & Specs
To use AffiliateWP effectively, this Custom Affiliate Slugs addon is a must-have for those who want more control over their affiliate program. By default, AffiliateWP assigns generic URLs to affiliates, which can be long and not very memorable. This addon changes that, letting you create custom, branded affiliate slugs that are easy to read, share, and remember.
Why customize affiliate slugs?
Custom slugs improve affiliate branding and trust. Affiliates can share links that look clean and professional instead of random strings of characters. This encourages more sharing, reduces errors, and can even improve click-through rates. For example, instead of yourwebsite.com/?ref=123, affiliates could have yourwebsite.com/ref/john or yourwebsite.com/ref/shopguru.
How to set it up?
Setup is simple. Once you install and activate the addon, go to your AffiliateWP dashboard and enable Custom Slugs. You can assign slugs manually to each affiliate or allow them to choose their own. It works smoothly alongside WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and MemberPress, so you won’t run into compatibility issues.
Does it slow down my site?
Not at all. The plugin is lightweight, with no heavy database overhead, so your website speed stays fast. Plus, because it’s the 100% original GPL licensed version, you can safely update it and rely on secure code without worrying about cracked or nulled files.
This addon is perfect for growing affiliate programs where branding and trust matter. It simplifies tracking, makes affiliate links more user-friendly, and keeps your program professional.

In short, AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs helps you give your affiliates a branded, professional presence while keeping everything secure, update-ready, and scalable.
