How to Boost Sales with Affiliate Programs for WooCommerce Shops

Affiliate programs are quite popular for online merchants across all ecommerce platforms as they allow you to offload marketing actions to your affiliate partners for free. Sounds unfair? Well, it’s not. Actually, this is a classical win-win situation. Affiliates are helping you to increase the awareness level of your brand, store and products and will be rewarded for their efforts either via a fixed or percentage-based commission.

If you want to run an affiliate program in your WooCommerce-powered online shop, you might want to check out the Affiliates Pro & Enterprise plugins along with their corresponding extensions.

Developed by itthinx, they are not only offering an integration with WooCommerce, but with loads of other ecommerce and membership solutions (see below for further details). Years back, we have purchased Affiliates Pro, “the #1 Affiliate Marketing Platform for WordPress” and have never regretted it ever since.
