TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for AffiliateWP users who want affiliates to promote external landing pages on a separate domain from their e-commerce store. It solves the problem of tracking referrals when the promotional site and the store live on different domains, by appending the affiliate's ID or username to outbound links.
