Description

The WooCommerce Cloak Affiliate Links plugin allows you to mask all external links in your WooCommerce store.

For example, change this…
merchant.com/index.php?aff_id=123&product_id=456

… into this:
yoursite.com/go/123

Configure the status code for the redirect to either 301, 302 or 307.

The plugin also adds a “Disallow” to your robots.txt file to prevent bots from following those external links.

FAQ

What redirect status should I use, 301, 302 or 307?: There’s a lot of debate about this. I would suggest Googling this and seeing which works best for you. The default status is 302.

Do not pay attention to the fact that the plugin has few active installations at the moment. It is truly the best in its segment. There is no need to configure anything - I activated the plugin and the problem is solved. Even though 5 stars is the maximum rating, I will rate it 10 stars! Highly recommend!
