Affiliate Area Tabs allows you to add custom tabs to AffiliateWP’s Affiliate Area. Each tab is linked to a WordPress page making it exceptionally easy to add and manage the tab’s content. Pages assigned to a tab are only viewable to affiliates. Affiliate Area Tabs allows you to: 1. Add new custom tabs to your Affiliate Area 2. Reorder any tab via drag and drop 3. Hide tabs from appearing on the front-end Affiliate Area 4. Manage tabs added by other AffiliateWP add-ons (Direct Link Tracking, Show Affiliate Coupons, Order Details For Affiliates) Here are just some of the things you could do: 1. Add a “Request Payout” tab and then insert a form. Your affiliates can now request that they be paid at any time. 2. Add a “Contact” tab and insert a contact form. Your affiliates can now contact you from the Affiliate Area. 3. Add a “FAQs” tab and insert some common questions and answers for your affiliates. 4. Add an “Important Dates” tab and list some special dates and promotions for your affiliates to remember. 5. Add a “URLs” tab and list some special URLs (landing pages or product pages) for your affiliates. You can even show their own referral URL using AffiliateWP’s [ affiliate_referral_url] shortcode. 6. Add a “Leaderboard” tab and insert an affiliate leaderboard, using the [AffiliateWP Leaderboard](https://wordpress.org/plugins/affiliatewp-leaderboard/) plugin. 7. Add a “News” tab and share important news with your affiliates (or link to other blog posts). 8. Add an “Affiliate Brand Assets” or “Downloadables” tab, and add documents or images from your WordPress Media Library that don’t suit the existing Creatives tab. **What is AffiliateWP?** [AffiliateWP](https://affiliatewp.com/) provides a complete affiliate management system for your WordPress website that seamlessly integrates with all major WordPress e-commerce and membership platforms. It aims to provide everything you need in a simple, clean, easy to use system that you will love to use. ## Screenshots [⌊Adding new tabs from the admin⌉⌊Adding new tabs from the admin⌉[ Adding new tabs from the admin [⌊Viewing the custom tabs on the front-end website⌉⌊Viewing the custom tabs on the front-end website⌉[ Viewing the custom tabs on the front-end website ## Installation 1.
