Апісанне
Telchar Referral Link Tracker is a lightweight WordPress plugin for site owners who need simple self-hosted referral links.
It creates referral URLs that redirect to a target URL and records privacy-friendly Estimated Visits.
This plugin focuses on a simple and controlled workflow:
- Create affiliates manually in WordPress.
- Create referral links for each affiliate.
- Redirect visitors to a target URL.
- Track only Estimated Visits.
Estimated Visits are counted once per link, hashed IP, and day.
This plugin deliberately does not include:
- Commission management.
- Payment handling.
- Cookie-based tracking.
- Sessions.
- External telemetry.
- Remote calls.
The result is a simple, privacy-friendly, and fully self-contained referral system.

Часта задаваныя пытанні
-
What does “Estimated Visits” mean?
-
Estimated Visits count one visit per link, hashed IP, and day. Repeated requests from the same IP to the same link on the same day do not increase the count.
-
Does the plugin track anything besides Estimated Visits?
-
No. The plugin is intentionally limited to Estimated Visits only.
-
Does the plugin store raw IP addresses?
-
No. The plugin hashes the visitor IP using WordPress salts and stores only the hash for daily deduplication.
-
Can I reuse a slug after deleting a link or affiliate?
-
Yes. Deleting a link changes it to an internal hidden status, which removes it from public resolution and allows the slug to be reused later.
-
Does the plugin support external target URLs?
-
Yes. Both internal and external target URLs are supported, but you must enter a full URL including
http://orhttps://. Relative URLs are not supported. -
Does the plugin support multisite?
-
No. Multisite is not supported in the current version.
