AffLoc — Affiliate Link Localization
The <strong>AffLoc admin page</strong> featuring the <strong>Add New Mapping</strong> form (Offer Slug, Country search, Affiliate text and URL fields) alongside the sidebar with <strong>White-label Shortcode (Pro)</strong>, <strong>Shortcode Helper</strong>, and <strong>Import / Export Mappings</strong> tools.
AffLoc is a lightweight, cache-friendly WordPress plugin designed to help you maximize your affiliate revenue globally. It automatically detects your visitor’s country via IP and swaps out your affiliate links to match their regional store (e.g., Amazon US vs Amazon UK), ensuring you never lose a commission due to a “Not Available in Your Country” error.
Features
- Automatic Geolocation: Detects visitor country securely and accurately.
- Country-Specific Links: Assign different URLs for the same offer based on the user’s country code.
- Cache-Friendly: Uses a hybrid JavaScript approach so it works perfectly with caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, etc.).
- Global Fallback: Define a default link for countries without a specific mapping.
- Easy Shortcodes: Simply use
[affloc_link slug="your-offer"]and let the plugin handle the rest.
