I'd like to introduce FAExt AffiliateManager, an extension I built on top of FluentAffiliate.

Where it came from

It started as a client project. They were running affiliate campaigns tied to specific landing pages, bringing affiliates over from ThriveCart, and sending regular emails to those affiliates β€” each one needing their own referral link for each campaign. Handling that by hand doesn't scale, so I built a campaign layer to do it.

It's now packaged up and available to anyone with the same workflow.

What it solves

  • Campaigns as a unit of work.Β If you promote several landing pages and want to track them separately β€” with their own marketing materials and their own affiliate list β€” AffiliateManager gives each campaign its own home.
  • Getting affiliates in from elsewhere.Β Moving from ThriveCart or another platform means creating WordPress users and FluentAffiliate affiliates one at a time. CSV import does it in one pass.
  • Talking to affiliates.Β Emailing partners with the right referral link for the right campaign is fiddly manual work. AffiliateManager generates each affiliate's links automatically and lets you target who receives what.
  • Affiliates finding their own links.Β Rather than fielding "what's my link again?" over email, there's a front-end page where they look it up themselves.

Features

  • Campaign dashboardΒ β€” create and manage affiliate campaigns with landing pages and marketing materials
  • CSV bulk importΒ β€” bring affiliates in from ThriveCart or any other source, creating WordPress users and FluentAffiliate affiliates in one pass, with an optional welcome email
  • Audience targetingΒ β€” send to all affiliates, to selected affiliate groups, or to specific affiliates you pick by name
  • Email workflowΒ β€” compose, preview, and save drafts, with per-affiliate referral links generated automatically for every campaign landing page
  • Manage AffiliatesΒ β€” per-campaign affiliate list with a click-to-copy referral link for each one
  • ReportsΒ β€” campaign performance and an affiliate leaderboard
  • Campaign portal shortcodeΒ β€” a front-end page where affiliates see their own campaign links

Requirements

FluentAffiliate (free or Pro). AffiliateManager sits on top of it rather than replacing anything β€” your affiliates, commissions, and payouts stay where they are.

This was built for one specific set of needs, so I'm genuinely interested in hearing how others run their affiliate programs and where this falls short. If you pick it up, tell me what works and what's totally crap β€” I'd rather hear it than not.
