ECommerce-Guide, United States
In regard to the buying experience, shoppers can add stores to their favorites list, and sellers are able to keep shoppers within their specific stores, as they won’t see other similar merchandise from other Storefronts or the catalog until they are ready to leave that specific Wigix store. Wigix Affiliate ProgramIn addition to the launch of its new Storefronts service, Wigix is also launching an Affiliate Program for those looking to generate revenue without selling products on the site. Here, Web site and blog publishers can earn affiliate revenue by referring new members to the Wigix site or by recommending products from Wigix customers on their Web spaces. Sellers can also take advantage of the Affiliate Program by referring buyers to their own stores. Every item listed on Wigix has an embeddable widget tied to it that makes linking to products related to your site content easy. With the launch of the affiliate program, Wigix now offers three revenue generating methods:
Category Expert: Submit and manage unique items from top to bottom in an entire category and get compensated by receiving 1 percent of that category’s revenue (both advertising and transaction fees). Homesteaders: Submit a new item to a category and earn 5 percent of that item’s revenues (both advertising and transaction fees).
