Ad banners or text links allows your affiliates to easily promote your store/product/services (whatever you are selling). Creatives are the text or banner links your affiliates will use to
drive traffic to your website.
You can configure creatives (ad banners or links) in this plugin. This allows your affiliates to be able to log into their affiliate area and get the code for the ad.
Your affiliates can then copy and paste the ad code on their site to send visitors to your store/site/landing page. The plugin will uniquely track each affiliates referral to your site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Affiliate Creatives Do I Need?
The affiliates manager plugin will automatically create ONE default affiliate creative for you when you install the plugin. That one creative is good enough to get you going (so you don’t need to add anymore unless you want to).
Do I need to Add Affiliate Creatives for Each Product?
No. Your affiliates will get commission from a transaction given the customer was referred by him/her. Once a customer clicks on an affiliate link and purchase a product from your store, the affiliate will get the commission regardless of which creative the user clicked on. So if you have a lot of products, you may want to just have one creative for your main store page.
