WP Affiliate plugin<\/a> can be integrated with Gumroad<\/a> so that affiliate commissions can be awarded automatically for the products that you sell via Gumroad.<\/p>\n

This will allow you to add affiliate marketing capability to your site so you can award affiliates that send you customers.<\/p>\n

What can you expect from Gumroad integration?<\/h3>\n

The following points show the usual flow of events that you can expect:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You place a buy button\/link for a Gumroad product on your sales\/landing page created in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  2. An affiliate sends a visitor to your landing page (The affiliate plugin detects this referral and tracks the click)<\/li>\n
  3. The visitor decides to buy your product so he clicks on the \u201cBuy\u201d button\/link which allows the user to purchase the item via Gumroad.<\/li>\n
  4. After the user makes a payment, Gumroad sends the sale notification to the plugin.<\/li>\n
  5. The affiliate plugin detects that this sale was referred by an affiliate so it awards appropriate commission to the referrer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Gumroad Integration Steps<\/h3>\n

    Do the following integrate Gumroad with affiliate plugin:<\/p>\n

    Step 1)<\/strong>\u00a0Go to the “Integration Related” settings menu of the affiliate plugin and check the \u201cEnable Gumroad Integration\u201d checkbox.<\/p>\n

    Step 2)<\/strong> Take note of the “Gumroad Ping URL” field’s value.<\/p>\n

    Step 3)<\/strong>\u00a0Save the changes by hitting the update options button.<\/p>\n

    Step 4)<\/strong> Log into your Gumroad account and browse to the developer tab.<\/p>\n

    \"gumroad-ping-endpoint-setup\"<\/p>\n

    Step 5)<\/strong> Enter the Gumroad Ping URL value (from step 2) into the Ping Endpoing Field and save it.<\/p>\n

    Step 6)<\/strong> Now, modify your Gumroad purchase URL and append ?[wp_aff_custom_args]<\/code> to enable tracking on it.<\/p>\n

    Here is an example to illustrate the usage:<\/p>\n

    Lets say the Gumroad purchase URL of a product is the following:
    \n
    \nhttps:\/\/gum.co\/wzMQ
    \n<\/code>
    \nSo you would have the following HTML code that lets your customers click on the link to purchase the item:
    \n
    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/gum.co\/wzMQ\">Buy My Test Product<\/a>
    \n<\/code>
    \nSimply, change the above HTML code to the following to enable affiliate commission tracking on that product:
    \n
    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/gum.co\/wzMQ?[wp_aff_custom_args]\">Buy My Test Product<\/a>
    \n<\/code>
    \nTip:<\/strong> You can switch to the Text tab of your WordPress page\/post editor to view the HTML code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
