Avelon wins Best Value, Best Functionality & Features, Best Ease of Use and Best Customer Support on Capterra. Automatic & manual affiliate link building
In this short article, we’ll explain how our automatic affiliate link building tool negates the need for you to ever create an affiliate link on behalf of an affiliate again. You’ll also learn how to create a link manually (but there’s never a reason for you to do that).
Our Automatic Affiliate Link Builder builds, assigns and notifies the affiliate of an affiliate link being generated on their behalf as soon as they are approved into an affiliate program. The link that’s built is to the homepage of your website and sets the link to the commission rate you have assigned to the affiliate.
If you update that affiliates commission agreement, the link will also update to that commission amount, too.
Here’s an example of how this works:
- Merchant (brand or retailer) invites affiliate to join their program
- Affiliate accepts the invitation
- Avelon automatically creates the affiliates link and notifies the affiliate via email with the link
- Affiliate link is saved to the My Links section in the Dashboard
Creating a link manually
Creating a link manually is useful if you’d like the affiliate to point to a specific deep link/product page. To create an affiliate link manually, just follow the below workflow:
- Go to Create Link
- Enter the information required
- Press Generate
- The affiliate will be notified of the new affiliate link via email
- Affiliate link is saved to the My Links section in the Dashboard
