How do I generate an affiliate link?

When a visitor gets to your site via an affiliate link, Solid Affiliate will keep track of the fact that an affiliate sent you the visitor.

Affiliate links follow a simple format: any url on your website with a ?sld=<affiliate_id query parameter added to it.

Here is an example : www.solidaffiliate.com/?sld=125. This link would associate a visit with Affiliate #125.

  • The Affiliate’s link is displayed prominently on their Affiliate Portal.
  • Every creative will include the link generated for the affiliate by the plugin automatically.

Note: In addition to these links, affiliates can receive a referral by using any affiliate coupons that you’ve linked to their account.
