What is Kodo?

Kodo is a service that helps online stores work with influencers (such as social-media creators) to sell more products with tracking the sales informations. A enterprise signs up for Kodo, invites influencers to promote its store, and gives each influencer a personal link and/or a discount code to share with their audience.

When shoppers buy through those links or codes, Kodo keeps track of which influencer brought in each sale and works out how much commission that influencer has earned. The enterprise manages everything (its influencers, links, discount codes, and payouts) from the Kodo website at withkodo.com. Kodo does all the tracking and commission math; the store owner doesn’t have to match up links, codes, and orders by hand.

What does this plugin do?

On its own, this plugin does nothing visible to your shoppers. Its only job is to be the bridge between your WooCommerce store and your Kodo account so the two can share information automatically. After you connect it, the plugin quietly:

• Notices when a shopper arrives from an influencer. If someone visits your store through a special Kodo link, the plugin remembers which influencer sent them and attaches that information to their order.
• Tells Kodo about each sale. When an order is placed, the plugin sends the order’s details to Kodo so Kodo can credit the right influencer and calculate their commission. This happens in the background and does not slow down your store.
• Adds influencer discount codes to your store. When you create a discount code for an influencer inside the Kodo dashboard, it automatically appears in your store as a normal WooCommerce coupon, so you don’t have to re-enter it by hand.
• Connects your store to Kodo. A simple one-time “Connect” step links your store to your Kodo account and safely saves the login details needed for the two to talk to each other.

The plugin never decides on its own who earns commission or how much. It only passes information back and forth. All of the actual decisions and calculations happen on the Kodo service.

You need a Kodo account

To use this plugin you must have a Kodo account. Kodo offers a free tier for stores getting started, with paid plans for higher usage limits and advanced features. When you click “Connect,” you’ll be taken to withkodo.com to sign in or sign up. The plugin itself is free and open-source, but it has nothing to do until it is connected to a Kodo account.

By using this plugin you agree to Kodo’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

A note for store owners: Because this plugin sends order information to Kodo (see the “External Services” section below for exactly what), you are responsible for letting your customers know about Kodo in your own store’s privacy policy, as required by the laws that apply to you.
