Customizing Translations and Brand Language
To ensure your affiliate program feels native to your brand and accessible to your specific audience, you can fully localize every customer-facing element. From using one-click language presets to fine-tuning invoice footers, the Translations section gives you total control over your program's voice.
1. Using Language Presets
If you are running a store in a language other than English, you can save time by using our built-in presets.
Navigate to:
Settings > Translations
How to use: Under the Language preset section, use the "Dashboard language" dropdown to select from available languages like German, Spanish, or French.
Effect: Selecting a language and clicking apply will automatically replace all standard dashboard fields with the translated versions in one click.
2. Personalizing Invoice Text
You can customize the text that appears at the bottom of your payment invoices to include specific instructions or branding.
Custom Footer Title: Use standard text or HTML (like
<h3>) to create a clear heading for your payment section.Payment Instructions: You can use the shortcode
[PAYINFO]to automatically display the affiliate's specific payment details (like their PayPal email or bank info) directly on the invoice.Footer Text: Add a polite closing note or a reminder to "Please keep a copy of this invoice for your records."
3. Manual Translations & Shortcodes
For granular control, you can manually edit every notification and page title. This is where you can change "Affiliate Dashboard" to something like "Ambassador Portal."
Important Shortcodes to Use: When editing notifications, make sure to include these specific shortcodes so the app can insert real-time data:
[NAME]: The affiliate's name.[CODE]: The affiliate's unique discount code.[COMM]: The commission amount.[DAYS]: Timeframes or durations.
Example: A notification like "You were referred by [NAME]!" will automatically swap out the tag for the actual person's name at checkout.
Important Rules to Remember
Shortcode Accuracy: Always enclose shortcodes in brackets
[ ]exactly as shown in the default text. If they are deleted or misspelled, the dynamic information won't appear for the customer or affiliate.HTML Support: Fields like the "Invoice footer title" support basic HTML tags, allowing you to bold text or create headers for a more professional look.
Save to Sync: Changes made in the Translations menu are reflected on your storefront and in the affiliate dashboard instantly once you hit Save.
What Happens Next?
Once your translations are configured, we recommend performing a "test referral" to see how the checkout notifications (like the "You were referred by..." message) look to a customer.
