The Affiliate Product Links module from the Shop Extra extension makes it easy to manage how external WooCommerce products behave in your store. With it, you can decide exactly how users interact with affiliate products – whether through direct links, product titles, or buttons – creating a smooth shopping experience while still keeping visitors engaged with your site.
Activating the Module
To enable the module:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- Click on Blocksy in the left menu.
- Open the Extensions tab.
- Find the Shop Extra extension.
- Locate the Affiliate Product Links module and toggle it on.
Once activated, new settings will appear under the Customiser → WooCommerce General → Affiliate Product Links panel.
Granular Controls
Product Archive Configuration:
- Image Affiliate Link: Choose whether clicking a product’s featured image takes users directly to the affiliate link. Optionally, you can make the link open in a new tab.
- Title Affiliate Link: Decide if the product title links directly to the affiliate product. You can also enable the “open in new tab” option here.
- Open “Buy Now” Button in New Tab: Configure the button to open in a new tab, letting users visit the affiliate site without leaving your store entirely.
Single Product Configuration:
- Image Affiliate Link: Control whether clicking images in the product gallery takes users straight to the affiliate link, with the option to open it in a new tab.
- Open “Buy Now” Button in New Tab: Same as in product archives, you can let the button open in a new tab for smoother navigation.
