AffiliateWP Affiliate QR Codes Addon GPL Overview:
Affiliate QR Codes allow affiliates to save, print, or share their affiliate URL as a QR code from either the Affiliate Area or if installed, the Affiliate Portal pro-add-on.
Allow your affiliates to promote your brand with QR codes for simple referral tracking.
Quick Response codes were developed in the 1990s to track cars and car components during manufacturing. Since then, these two-dimensional printed barcodes have become a popular way to link people to websites via their mobile devices. As mobile has grown, so have QR codes. They are here to stay. Few can argue with the simplicity of point and tap.
It’s very handy for your customers to point their phone or tablet at one and with one tap be transported to the exact right spot on the internet. QR codes allow this with no typing required. They are a great way to link together the physical and digital worlds.
A not-so-good way to make affiliate QR codes
There are many websites that allow you to make a QR code. My favourite is TheQRcodeGenerator.com.
However, keep in mind, QR code generators like these that you find on the web will lack affiliate link-tracking functionality. You won’t know which affiliate the visit came from. Also you’ll have to manually make a QR code for each and every affiliate. We have a better way, and it’s free!
A better way to make affiliate QR codes
Use the Affiliate QR codes official free add-on to automatically generate a QR code for each of your affiliate’s referral links. Each affiliate can easily share their QR code image in emails, on the web, on print materials, or via social media. These QR codes have referral-tracking functionality built right in! This allows your affiliates to share referral links with users across mobile devices.
QR codes in the Affiliate Area
In the Affiliate Area a QR code is displayed in the Affiliate URLs tab. Affiliates click on the QR code image to view and download a ready-to-share PNG file that is optimized for both scanning clarity and small file size. The QR code contains their referral URL.
