Vanity /go/ landing pages

Every approved affiliate gets a vanity URL at /go/{their-handle} (e.g. yoursite.com/go/sarah). The page is a branded landing page with the affiliate’s intro + the destination product/store + cookie tracking.

Default behaviour

When a visitor lands on /go/sarah:

  1. The plugin drops Sarah’s referral cookie (configurable duration — see getting started)
  2. The view is counted in Sarah’s stats
  3. The visitor sees a landing page with:
    • Your store logo + tagline
    • Optional “Sarah recommends [product]” callout
    • Auto-redirect after N seconds (default: 3) to the target URL

Configure default landing template

Settings → Landing pages → Default template:

  • Auto-redirect after — seconds (0 = instant, 3 = show page briefly)
  • Show affiliate’s name — yes/no
  • Show product image — yes/no
  • Target URL — homepage / specific product / latest post

Per-affiliate customisation

Affiliates can override the default in their portal:

  • Custom intro text (“Hi, I’m Sarah and I think you’ll love…”)
  • Custom photo
  • Different target URL per campaign

Per-campaign landing pages

Affiliates can create multiple landing pages with different handles:

  • /go/sarah — homepage
  • /go/sarah-summer-sale — campaign landing
  • /go/sarah-product-x — specific product

Generate from their portal → Links → Create vanity link.

SEO

Vanity pages are noindex by default — they’re affiliate-tracking URLs, not content pages. Override per page if you want a specific campaign to be indexable.

White-label CSS

Override the default landing page styling at Settings → Landing pages → Custom CSS. Brand colours, fonts, layout — all customisable. Agency tier includes a “Built with Asteris” footer removal toggle.

Performance

Landing pages render server-side via PHP, cached for 60 seconds per affiliate. Negligible overhead even on stores with thousands of vanity pages.
