Affiliate links for the Fast Affiliate add on are created using the shortcode which is accessed from the green FastMember icon in the WordPress classic editor.

2. Select either all products or a specific product.
Choosing a specific product will not restrict your affiliate to only promoting this product as once they are a member of the site they will be able to promote any product and receive commissions for their efforts.
Instead setting a specific product allows you and your affiliates to track how many hits this particular product is receiving. Knowing this will also let you see the conversion rate and EPC figures for each of your affiliates on those particular products.
3. Choose the landing page the visitor will be directed to when they click the affiliate link
