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.
I have a problem with the short code.
I`m using woocommerce, done the proper steps installing affiliate>woocommerce light
Generated the affiliate page area by pressing the “button”
I`m stuck on how my affiliates on registering? etc
You can check it out http://www.craigslistpostingservicez.com/affiliate-area/

Looks like you found out by now

I am trying your plug-in and my testers are getting confused. When they log in to the affiliate page it then redirects to profile in wordpress and does not stay on the affiliate page when they log in. When they are in the backend they see the typical wordpress backend and don’t know how to get back to the affiliate page..
Are you using the generated affiliate area? If you are using that area, after logging in they will get redirected to the original page (the affiliate area) unless they fail to login.
I may have a new area. What is happening is the email says wp-login and I guess it is not redirecting when you first register. How can I manually edit the email that goes out?
The email you refer to is the default that WordPress sends when a new user registers. You should be able to find a plugin that allows you to change the default registration email’s content. I’ve advised to do that before but can’t remember a specific plugin right now, if you find one that looks good / works well, actually I would appreciate it if you could post a link to it here.
Here is the plug-in
