AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs

Default referral links usually rely on a username or affiliate ID. These are easy to forget, look generic, and can reveal personal usernames. AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs replaces or complements those formats with a slug the affiliate chooses, such as a brand name, a business name or a campaign label.

Admins stay in control of how it runs. You can generate slugs automatically for new affiliates based on your rules, or let affiliates manage their own slug from the Affiliate Area. You can enable the feature for all affiliates or only selected ones, and edit or remove slugs from the admin dashboard. It works with both pretty and traditional affiliate URLs.

Features

• Affiliate-chosen custom slugs: Affiliates create their own slug for their referral URL, so the link can reflect their personal brand, business name or marketing campaign instead of a default identifier.
• Automatic slug generation: Custom slugs can be generated for new affiliates during registration based on rules you define, which keeps setup simple and URLs consistent across your program.
• Admin control over access: Enable slug creation for all affiliates or only selected ones, and edit or remove any custom slug from the admin dashboard when you need to.
• Pretty and traditional URLs: The add-on supports both pretty affiliate URLs and traditional ones, so custom slugs fit the URL structure and preferences already in place on your site.
• Duplicate slug prevention: Each custom slug must be unique across affiliates, which avoids referral conflicts. When a slug is changed, the previous one is freed up for future use.
• Slug format settings: Choose between alphanumeric or alphabetic characters and set a maximum slug length, so affiliates create slugs that match the rules of your program.
• Campaign support: Works with the AffiliateWP campaign feature, letting affiliates associate campaigns with their custom slugs for more targeted promotion.
• Slug column in exports: Exported affiliate lists include a dedicated custom slug column, which makes tracking and reporting easier for site admins.

Best for

• AffiliateWP stores that want branded affiliate links
