How to start working with EPN AliExpress Program
Official Extended AliExpress Affiliate Program from EPN is supported by AliPlugin. Now you can start working directly with this program instead of using Portals AliExpress and get following advantages:
8.5% commission on all paid and delivered orders
Approval Time Frames ' instantly
Payouts rate ' once a week
Payment methods ' ePayments, Wire transfer
Real-time sales statistics
Detailed transaction information
Daily automatic orders approval
Go to https://epn.bz/en/cabinet#/epn-api and click 'Get API Key'. You will get two API Keys. Copy the first one (Your API key) into the plugin's 'Main Settings'.
After this, click on 'Deeplink' in the side menu. Fill out the required fields and click 'Create Deeplink'. If you wish to use other online stores (not AliExpress), you will have to make a verified source of traffic for the offer. If you haven't added the source, you may do it here, by adding a link source to the respective online webstore (note that this must be approved by EPN.BZ).
When you got your deeplink, copy the 'DeepLink Hash' from the resulting deeplink and paste it in the plugin's 'Main Settings'.
I also provided a Quick Install Guide to feature an easy plugin installation for everyone.
To make this plugin work, first, you'll need to install the plugin. The easiest method is to take the .zip file you've downloaded and upload it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in the WordPress Dashboard. Once the plugin is installed, be sure to Activate it.

Meet this %adjective %noun %sentence_ending
This is the %adjective %noun ever%sentence_ending
I %love_it %nouns , because they are the %adjective %sentence_ending
My %family says this plugin is very %adjective %sentence_ending
These %nouns are quite %adjective %sentence_ending
You can define variables in the 'List of Possible Variables:' textfield. Here you can define values to variables, values which will be used in the random sentence forming. Variables can be defined as follows:
These random sentences can be used in post titles or post content, by adding the %%random_sentence%% or %%random_sentence2%% shortcode.
