Just think about the times you\u2019ve seen online influencers all promoting the exact same product in the same way \u2013 were you convinced by them?Thankfully, as a WooCommerce store owner, you have a BIG advantage: a built-in community of customers who genuinely love and use your products.

But for the best results, you will need to partner with people who genuinely like your brand.\u00a0Who better to champion your products than your loyal customers? These people are already passionate about your brand, and this authenticity will shine through in their promotions. It\u2019s the best way to build trust and credibility with potential new customers.Even better, you don\u2019t need to spend time finding and recruiting these affiliate partners. Instead, you can simply add a signup form to your WooCommerce store\u2019s most important pages, such as the Accounts page.\u00a0And the best part? If you create a referral program using a plugin like AffiliateWP, then you can make this signup form and start converting your customers in just minutes.\u00a0\u00a0Even better, AffiliateWP only shows this form to people who\u2019ve already made a purchase in your online store.

AffiliateWP will generate their affiliate link automatically so they can start promoting your brand straight away.\u00a0With that said, let\u2019s see how you can add an affiliate program in WooCommerce and allow customers to sign up with one click. Step 1. Set Up AffiliateWPAffiliateWP is a powerful affiliate tracking and management tool for businesses that want to start their own referral program. Unlike other affiliate software, AffiliateWP is built as a WordPress plugin, so you can easily add it to your site.It also integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, so you\u2019ll have no problems converting customers into affiliates. After creating your signup form, AffiliateWP will automatically add it to your store\u2019s most important pages, such as the My Account page, Dashboard tab, and Checkout confirmation page.\u00a0First, you\u2019ll need to install and activate the premium AffiliateWP plugin. For more details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.Upon activation, the setup wizard will ask for your license key. You can get this information from your account on the AffiliateWP website.\u00a0With that done, click the \u2018Continue\u2019 button.At this point, AffiliateWP will scan your site and then suggest some popular plugin integrations you may want to enable.On this screen, you need to select \u2018WooCommerce\u2019 to connect your online store.Then, click \u2018Continue.\u2019Next, you can choose how to pay your affiliates. You can select the \u2018Payout Service\u2019 option to pay with a credit card or \u2018PayPal Payouts\u2019 if you prefer one-click payouts.After making your choice, just move on to the next step.Here, you can choose a currency for your store.You can also set a default commission rate for all your affiliates. If you\u2019re unsure, then don\u2019t worry \u2013 you can change the rate for individual affiliates at any point.\u00a0Finally, click the \u2018Finish Setup And Exit\u2019 button.You can now configure emails, add opt-in forms, and track all your affiliates from your WordPress dashboard. For more information, please see our tutorial on how to easily create a referral program in WordPress.Step 2. Enable Affiliate Registration\u00a0Next, it\u2019s time to enable affiliate registration by heading to AffiliateWP \u00bb Settings. Here, you need to select the \u2018Affiliates\u2019 tab.On this screen, check the box next to \u2018Allow Affiliate Registration.\u2019\u00a0That\u2019s it! Customers can now join your referral program.\u00a0Step 3. Activate the Affiliate Signup WidgetNow that registration is open, the next step is to create your affiliate signup form. On the current screen, scroll to the following option: \u2018Convert customers into affiliates using the affiliate signup widget.\u2019 Now, go ahead and select this radio button.This will activate the signup widget and add an entirely new section where you can customize your form.\u00a0Step 4. Customize the Signup WidgetTo start, AffiliateWP has a \u2018Brand\u2019 setting that lets you select a primary color that perfectly represents your brand. Once you\u2019ve picked it, AffiliateWP will automatically create a complimentary color palette for your widget.You can also add a background image and change the widget text by typing into the \u2018Heading\u2019 and \u2018Text\u2019 fields.\u00a0The text should motivate customers to join your referral program, so this is an ideal opportunity to explain the benefits of becoming an affiliate.\u00a0Similarly, you can change the call to action by typing into the \u2018Button Text\u2019 field. Once again, this should inspire the customer to enroll, so you should use something short and compelling.\u00a0As you make changes, the live preview will update automatically, so you can try various different settings to see what looks the best.\u00a0Step 5. Customize the Confirmation ScreenWith that done, you can customize the layout that AffiliateWP will show when a customer joins your program. To do this, click the slider next to \u2018Preview Affiliate Signup Confirmation.\u2019The live preview will then be updated to show the confirmation layout.\u00a0You can now replace the default \u2018Confirmation Text\u2019 and \u2018Confirmation Heading\u2019 text with your own messaging.\u00a0This is the perfect opportunity to thank new affiliates for joining your program or to explain the next steps.As you can see in the live preview, AffiliateWP generates an affiliate link and adds it to the confirmation layout automatically. This means new signups can start promoting your products right away.\u00a0Step 6. Publish Your Affiliate Widget\u00a0With all of that done, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the \u2018Save Changes\u2019 button.That\u2019s it! AffiliateWP will now add this signup form to your store\u2019s high-traffic areas. If you want to see it in action, then just remember the widget will only appear to customers who have completed at least one order.Tips and Tricks to Supercharge Your WooCommerce Referral ProgramSo, you\u2019ve now successfully added a referral program to your WooCommerce store. That\u2019s great, but it\u2019s only the first step.\u00a0If you\u2019re going to convert your customers into an army of enthusiastic affiliate partners, then you need to get them excited about your program.\u00a0To help you out, here are our top affiliate marketing tips for how to convince your customers to sign up and start spreading the word about your products.Announce Your ProgramAffiliateWP automatically adds the signup widget to your store\u2019s most important pages.\u00a0But why wait for customers to log into their account and discover it?\u00a0By announcing your affiliate program to your mailing list, you can make sure everyone knows about it. This means you\u2019ll likely see signups straight away.For the best results, the email should clearly explain the benefits of joining your affiliate program. You can also use segmentation and personalization to make your messages even more compelling. For example, if someone has bought a specific product from your store, then you might write something like: \u201cDid you love [product-name]? Now you can share it with your friends and earn some cash!\u201dFor an added boost, you can also announce your program via your blog, social media accounts, YouTube channel, and any other platforms where you have a presence.\u00a0Offer an Extra IncentiveEarning money is already a great motivator, but why not give customers another reason to join your program? For example, you might offer a one-time bonus when an affiliate makes their first sale.You can even use the fear of missing out to drive signups by offering a limited-time perk, such as a higher commission rate. This creates a sense of urgency and encourages customers to convert right now \u2013 rather than waiting and potentially forgetting about your program.Offer Exclusive Store PerksSimilarly, you can motivate customers to join your program by offering them exclusive store perks. Think coupon codes, early access to new products, free shipping, faster delivery \u2013 anything that makes them feel like they\u2019re getting special treatment for being an affiliate.However, be strategic. You don\u2019t want customers signing up with no intention of actually promoting your products. For example, you might offer a free month of shipping upfront and then unlock another free month every time the affiliate makes a sale. This keeps them engaged and promoting your products rather than just enjoying your perks.\u00a0We hope this article helped you learn how to turn your customers into affiliates.
