Use Cases / Who It’s For
The Affiliates Add On is ideal for any business owner using Paid Memberships Pro who wants to scale their acquisition efforts without relying solely on paid advertisements. If you run a membership site, you know that trust is your most valuable currency. By leveraging an affiliate program, you capitalize on the existing trust that influencers, bloggers, and your own members have built with their audiences.
This tool is perfect for content creators who want to offer a commission to industry experts who recommend their courses. It is equally effective for community managers who want to reward loyal members for referring friends and colleagues. By providing a structured way to track and manage these relationships, you transform passive fans into active business partners, creating a sustainable growth engine for your membership site.
Setup / How It Works
Getting started with the Affiliates Add On is designed to be straightforward, allowing you to launch your referral program quickly.
- Install and Activate: Install the add-on via your WordPress dashboard just as you would any other Paid Memberships Pro extension.
