Your Affiliate Program Performance Report at Your Fingertips

Your affiliate program is running, but is it winning?

Having affiliates promote your products is excellent, but you might be leaving money on the table if you’re not tracking your affiliate program performance.

• How much are your affiliates earning?
• How many visitors do they bring in?
• Which links and pages get the most conversions?

Without the correct data, it’s impossible to tell.

Thinking of manually checking numbers every month? Well, think again. Do you want to spend hours sifting through reports, drowning in spreadsheets, and second-guessing your data?

But what if you could automatically get all the key insights — earnings, traffic, top-performing links — delivered straight to your inbox?

Enter Affiliate for WooCommerce – your ultimate affiliate tracking best friend.

This plugin automates performance tracking, giving you clear insights into your affiliate program performance without the hassle.

Affiliate for WooCommerce: Your best friend in performance tracking

Affiliate marketing should be about growing your revenue, not wrestling with spreadsheets.

That’s why Affiliate for WooCommerce takes the hard work off your plate and provides automated monthly performance reports.

Unlike other plugins that require you to log in and track data manually, this plugin makes affiliate program performance tracking effortless with monthly summary emails.

These emails give store owners and affiliate managers a quick snapshot of key metrics like earnings, traffic, conversions, and top-performing links.

The best part? This feature is automated. You don’t have to lift a finger — just check your inbox at the start of each month.
