Frequently asked questions
Which URL parameter is used for tracking?
It is configurable via the TELO_AFF_PARAM constant (define it in wp-config.php or in the plugin/theme bootstrap). If you do not define it, the plugin’s default is used.
Does import affect sales or historical payout data?
No. Import/export only handles slug, name and rate. No orders, commissions or historical data.
Do affiliate pages affect my SEO?
No. They are created with a dedicated template without header/sidebars, marked noindex/nofollow and /panel-afiliado/ is disallowed in robots.txt.
Can I customize styles?
Yes. The shortcode and template use wrapper classes (.telo-aff-frontend, .telo-aff-page, etc.). Add your CSS in your theme or in a plugin stylesheet.
Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS?
Yes. The “Affiliate” column is added to the order list in both classic and HPOS views.
