That's what I mean, don't you think that a tad to remember if typing it in a browser. 

Not really because I'm used to blesta, you can create shorter links if you know .htaccess rewrite rules but then you'd have to do it for everything. Otherwise a customer would just copy and paste.

The affiliate part of of the URL is rather small, e.g. &a=MQ== or ?a=MQ== appended to any order form URL, where MQ== is the affiliate code that is unique per affiliate. Since most people will want to direct someone interested in purchasing directly to an order form or a specific product, the URL will be larger. You could direct your users to use a URL shortening service like bit.ly to take the full URL and shorten it to something easier to share.

Are the affiliate link MD5 encoded?

On Affiliate client page there is an affiliate link which user should use, for example:

xxx.com/clientarea/order/forms/a/MQ==

I will use .htaccess to make a redirect from xxx.com/a/* to xxx.com/clientarea/order/forms/a/*

how can I edit xxx.com/clientarea/order/affiliates/ page, so my client will see xxx.com/a/MQ== instead xxx.com/clientarea/order/forms/a/MQ==

??

You could probably create a mod_rewrite redirect rule that looks for /a/* and redirects to the full path. I don't know what that URL would be, obviously you'd only want to redirect if the URL began with /a/something.
