Questions about Fluent Affiliate re: changing default links, creatives, 404 on the Registration after submit, etc.?
1) Is there a way to make www.website.com/shop the default referral link, so potential affiliates can more directly connect buyers with the specific buy page? Yes, I know that can set-up a specific link by themselves, but we all know that nobody will do this.
2) I'm not seeing anywhere to add promotional images or creatives? Am I missing something?
3) When I was testing the affiliate registration, once I clicked submit, instead of getting congrats or thank you page, I got a 404 page? I did get notification that new affiliate was created, so it did go through, but how do I control the confirmation page from the registration page?
4) I used a coupon to zero out the cost of my test. Is this the reason why I am not seeing the test user in my dashboard? I had used my own referral link for the test account, but it's not showing on dashboard?
5) I set up my email settings to show Send By name at Affiliate Team, but it still showed my name and email?
There is no creative section? As far as the affiliate link, it should not really matter where it points so long as the affiliate gets credit for the sale, since the visitor can jump around before making a purchase so your affiliate link may point to product A but buys product z and the first or last affiliate should get credit for the sale.
David Scurlock NO...I migrated over from AffiliateWP, so am used to Creative section. I hope that this is added soon. And, I disagree with the direct link...if you are focused on fundraising campaigns and helping our affiliate partners to be as successful as possible, then wanting to direct folks directly to a product or shop page would be great...why leave it up to someone to click around and hopefully find the page to buy?
Lucy Howell some of the biggest affiliate plugins offer direct linking. This option should be for the affiliate to choose, some affiliates may choose to link directly to the product while other affiliates such as webmasters may choose a more direct link without using affiliate links, and the affiliate gets paid, no matter which product it is, most site owners may not prefer their site littered with affiliate links, in this case, direct links is preferred. It should not be either or, let the affiliate decide which method they prefer best.
David Scurlock It will be done and released early next week.
So actually, I'm noticing on my own Fluent Affiliate page, that they set this up how I would want to...preset links to various products? This would solve my issue? Not seeing a way to do this from an Admin standpoint?
