Affiliates WooCommerce Light
This WordPress plugin integrates Affiliates with WooCommerce:
- WooCommerce delivers enterprise-level quality and features to your online store.
- Affiliates is an outstanding platform that helps to boost sales through your affiliate program.
With this integration plugin, referrals are created automatically for your affiliates when sales are made.
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.
What you need to use this is all free and ready to go:
- WooCommerce
- Affiliates
- Affiliates WooCommerce Integration Light
Install these, set up your shop, decide how much you want to pay your affiliates and start selling!
Installation & Setup
1. Install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. Configure your shop and create products.
2. Install and activate the Affiliates plugin. Use the default settings or configure it to your needs.
3. Upload and activate the Affiliates WooCommerce Integration Light plugin to your WordPress installation.
4. A new WooCommerce Integration Light menu item will appear under the Affiliates menu in WordPress. Set the referral rate for your affiliates there.
Note that you can install the plugins from your WordPress installation directly: use the Add new option found in the Plugins menu.
You can also upload and extract them in your site’s /wp-content/plugins/ directory or use the Upload option.

Hello Kento
Could you help me choosing beteen JigoShop and WooCommerce, please ?
(what’s real difference, which one is better…)
Thanks a lot
Patrick
Hi Patrick,
As far as Affiliates is concerned, there is no difference whether you use it with Jigoshop or WooCommerce. It works equally well with both. The same applies to the Affiliates Pro integration pack – the one for WooCommerce is about to be released, the one for Jigoshop is already available.
Regarding whether to choose Jigoshop or WooCommerce, I suggest you try both and see which one suits your particular needs better.
Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your quick response.
So if I understand it, JingoShop and WooCommerce both have exactly the same functions.
Ok, I will follow your advice and install both. Perhaps the ergonomics or other details make the difference?
Thank you again
You’re welcome
They are not exactly the same but quite similar …
Can Affiliates be used as a referral system? Affiliates seems to be more like Amazon associates, but I want it to act as a referral system for my customers. That is, invite your friend and if he/she makes a purchase, you get a $10 coupon or something. Is that possible?
Yes that’s possible. I don’t see where this should be different to granting a referral when a sale is made. Whatever they accumulate can then be either paid out or a coupon issued.
