How to Add an External or Affiliate Product in EDD Dashboard
Learn how to link to external or affiliate products using EDD Dashboard.
Configuration
This feature allows you to convert a product into an external or affiliate item. Instead of completing a purchase on your site, customers will be redirected to an external link, ideal for affiliate marketing, third-party sales, or product bundles.
Toggle the switch to enable the External Product feature on the product edit page.
Enter the target URL where you want users to be redirected (e.g., an affiliate link or external shop).
Set the Button Label to define the text displayed on the call-to-action (e.g., “Buy on Amazon”, “View Product”, “Get Now”).
Click Save to apply the changes.
Once configured, the standard "Add to Cart" button will be replaced with your custom button, and users will be directed to the external link you specified.
Use Case Examples
- 🔗 Affiliate products from platforms like Amazon, Shopee, or Lazada
- 🛍️ Products listed on another store or partner website
- 🎁 Bundled services or offers sold outside your current site
💡 Tip: Use UTM parameters in the URL to track clicks and conversions for better affiliate reporting.
