Affiliates eShop Light
This plugin integrates Affiliates with eShop.
With this integration plugin, referrals are created automatically for your affiliates when sales are made through eShop.
The plugin allows you to set a referral (commission) rate so that your affiliates get credited with a referral based on a percentage of each sale’s total net amount.
Affiliates allows you to maintain your own affiliate program to boost sales through your online store powered by eShop. This is what you need:
- eShop
- Affiliates
- Affiliates eShop Integration Light (this plugin)
Install these, set up your shop, set the referral rate for affiliates and distribute your affiliates their affiliate links. Whenever an affiliate refers a client to your store and the client makes a purchase, you will see a referral created for the affiliate.
Feedback is welcome!

Hi !
Thanks for this plugin.
But I have a problem on the affiliate area (default page created by the plugin) : referrals and earnings are blocked to 0 and total shortcodes (like [affiliates_referrals show="total" status="closed"]) aren’t displayed at all, even if there is several accepted referrals.
Can you help me ?
This sounds as if your referral rate has not been set. Please check on the back end Affiliates > eShop Integration Light there must be a value set for Referral rate, for example 0.1 if you want to give a 10% commission on sales.
No, the rate has been set and I have an accepted referral report of 0.75 €
Just if anyone wonders what happened, the only actual referral on Arle’s site was attributed to Direct (the site, not any specific affiliate) and thus no referral data was displayed for affiliates.
Here’s an example procedure to test your setup:
1. Log in as admin, create an affiliate X, visit the affiliate’s link and make an order.
2. Check the referrals (as admin) you’ll see a referral credited to affiliate X.
3. Log out, log in as affiliate X and go to your site’s affiliate area*, you will see the data reflecting the order.
* If you haven’t created one, as admin go to Affiliates > Options and click on Generate.
