Manual affiliate links – all you need to know!
Winamaz’ affiliate links creation module allows you to manually create links to add products from advertisers that are not integrated in Winamaz so they can nontheless be presented on editors websites.
Where to start?
Once you have decided which product(s) you wish to manually add to your pages, open the “Affiliate links” module available from the “Winamaz” menu:
Creating an affiliate link in Winamaz?
In order to create an affiliate link, you must be able to link it to the same product available at another advertiser on Winamaz (this can be Amazon or another advertiser). Note that you can add any link (tracked or otherwise) to the button shortcode – click here for more information on shortocodes.
Create and define your link(s) within the Affiliate links module in Winamaz via your WordPress back office.
