Use case
Affiliate WordPress plugin pattern & coupon sites
Theme and plugin authors still juggle SEO tooling and fragile network snippets. Whether you ship a dedicated affiliate WordPress plugin or custom theme code, wiring Coupon API data server-side means one HTTP integration, predictable JSON, and fewer surprises when a network renames fields.
Recommended pattern
- Server-side fetch - WP-Cron or an external worker pulls pages from Feedico; results land in the database or object cache.
- Shortcodes & blocks - render from your datastore so front-end visitors never touch API keys.
- Stable keys - map normalized programme and merchant identifiers into your permalink strategy once.
CJ → WordPress walkthrough
If CJ is your flagship network, follow the step-by-step engineering guide how to import CJ coupons to WordPress automatically: connect CJ in Feedico, verify JSON rows, map fields to posts, and schedule sync with the plugin or WP-Cron. Warehouse-scale stacks should pair it with the coupon warehouse ETL guide.
Official product surface
For WordPress-specific packaging and positioning, start at /product/wordpress- then return here for the API-centric mental model (feeds, quotas, multi-network filters).
Compliance reminder
Disclosure blocks, sponsored labels, and network programme rules stay your responsibility - especially in Gutenberg layouts where automated listings can look editorial. Normalized metadata helps you stay consistent; it does not replace legal review.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there an official WordPress plugin?
- See the product area for WordPress-oriented packaging and docs. Whether you use a plugin or custom theme code, the backend pattern is the same: server-side calls to Feedico, cache results, render blocks.
- Can I avoid storing affiliate credentials in wp-config?
- Yes. Keep Feedico API tokens server-side only (environment variables, managed secrets, or a small proxy). Never expose bearer tokens to the browser.
- How do I align with caching plugins?
- Invalidate or time-bucket cached HTML when your coupon sync job completes. Normalized fields make it easier to diff “what changed” and bust only affected merchant pages.
You need programme approval and compliant use at each affiliate network. Feedico provides the integration layer - not a substitute for network terms.
