How to integrate PostAffiliatePro with Shopware

With the plugin, you can track per-product commissions, discount coupons, and customer emails for Lifetime Commissions.
Download the plugin
The first step is to download the plugin for Shopware 6 or the older Shopware 5 plugin.
Install the plugin
When downloaded, unzip the plugin and upload it to your FTP to your shop directory.
Shopware 6 plugin
Upload the plugin files to the custom/plugins directory.
Shopware 5 plugin
The plugin contains the needed directory structure, so you only have to ‘overwrite‘ the directory engine/.
When uploaded, navigate to your admin panel and install the plugin the same way you do it with any other plugins. Then do not forget to configure it afterward.
