Affilizz Plugin

Affilizz is an official plugin for the affilizz.com affiliation platform that enables its users to connect to the API and insert seamlessly affiliate links, price tables and calls to action both on the classic and Gutenberg editors.

The plugin was released outside of the plugin directory at its launch and was added to the directory at the 1.13.0 version.

Features

• Affiliate link configuration pop-in
• Step-by-step configuration wizard
• Configuration pane and debug information page
• Inline rendering of an affiliate link or price table in the classic editor
• Gutenberg editor block to insert affiliate links and price tables

In addition, the plugin aims to allow users to customize the way they interact with the platform and insert links in the table.

It adds a database table holding the rendered versions of the embeds, to bypass connectivity issues.
