XenForo AliExpress affiliate addon to get deep links for products

aliexpress affiliate addon

I have recently coded XenForo AliExpress affiliate addon that converts normal links to appropriate AliExpress affiliate links with respect to the tracking id and api key specified in the options. XenForo aliexpress affiliate addon is coded for aliexpress affiliates and those board owners who have millions of aliexpress links in their board that if converted can generate handsome revenue. In normal cases affiliates have to find a product at aliexpress copy its link and put it in their url converter to get their deep link. This deep link is then posted in the forums. I have tried to keep this process simple and less hectic.Lets me show you details and demo of XenForo AliExpress affiliate plugin. You can jump directly to video at the end if you don’t feel like reading texts.

XenForo Aliexpress affiliate addon details

The addon currently convert the links posted in individual XenForo Threads , Posts, Member Signatures , Conversations and profile posts. After installation admin can set his api  key and tracking ID that would be used to convert links. If it is not set the normal links would not be replaced. XenForo AliExpress affiliate addon also includes 3 CRON jobs that can be triggered by the administrator to convert old Posts, Signatures and conversations. 

This addon has been deployed and tested at 3 different forums for old links conversion testing. There are different types of product urls that can be extracted from aliexpress , for example country specific domains country.aliexpress.com and normal www.aliexpress.com, we are converting all such links with their API. For example lets see some original links and their corresponding affiliate links.
