Affiliates Pro WooCommerce Integration Pack
Integration with WooCommerce
Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce fully automates affiliate commissions for sales and provides additional WooCommerce-specific options.
NEW Coupons supported : Assign coupon codes to affiliates to credit them with sales commissions.
Demos
This video shows Affiliates Pro and WooCommerce in action: details of the plugins installed and setup, an example purchase made through an affiliate link (banner) and the resulting referral linked to the order.
Although the following video was recorded with Affiliates Pro for Jigoshop, it also applies to Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce.
The video shows three main interactions for customers, admins and affiliates:
- how a customer makes a purchase through an affiliate link
- how an admin sees referrals and relates them to orders
- and how an affiliate sees an overview of his performance
In addition to what is shown in the video, all features of the Affiliates Pro plugin are available.
Documentation
After following the steps to install the integration pack, please refer to the documentation available here: Affiliates Plugins Documentation.
Free integration
You can also download the Affiliates WooCommerce Integration Light plugin which provides a free alternative.
Not sure how to make a contribution, but I am quite interested in getting a discount on the pro vs. when it is released
Thanks for your interest Shawn, I was just about to put a decent button for that here
Hi,
I have a few questions:
1. The comissions appear on Woocommerce Dashboard?
2. Affiliates can track their traffic, commisions?
3. When the commisions are paid, instantly or when an administrator aproves them and sends them?
4. Also the ideea above in which members can be affiliates is going to be integrated or exists?
Thanks
Hi Mik,
To your questions, 1 – Affiliates has its own admin area for that, 2 – yes, 3 – through PayPal Mass Payments, 4 – users can be related to affiliates.
Make sure to have a look at the documentation here: http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/
Hello,
Does your affiliate plugin work well with woo ecommerce Commission King?
Thank you
These are independent, you can give it a try using Affiliates and Affiliates WooCommerce Light and decide to use Pro after that.
Thank you. I will give it a try.
Hi Kento,
I don’t want to use PayPal mass payments, since I’ll be paying affiliates every 15 days AND I’ll also take CC payments using 2Checkout.com
That said:
1) Will affiliates be able to see how much have they earned each month?
2) Will they be able to see how much was already paid to them and how much is pending, per month, or given date range?
Thank you very much,
Manuel
Of course you can use other options than PayPal, what Affiliates Pro provides is the ability to generate the mass payments file and that is obviously convenient. But you can use the data provided to make payments through any processor. Regarding 1) Yes, 2) Yes – actually they can filter their results for any given date range.
Thanks! I bought it yesterday… looks great so far!
Great to hear that
Please let me know when you’ve got it set up.
Hello,
I purchased Affiliates Pro and did the WooCommerce integration. When a customer checks out using paypal, it’s var_dump-ing their email address and the order string, causing the site to never load the paypal payment page.
Is this the correct place to request support regarding this? Thank you for the great plugin!
-R
Let’s have a look at your site. The dump isn’t something that Affiliates Pro or the WooCommerce integration would do.
Kento,
Great, thank you; I will send wp admin details via your contact page now
Thanks Rami, I’ve made a test purchase and got to the PayPal payment screen without problems. Also the referral for the order #4060 has been created correctly, as well as other referrals which have been recorded for previous orders. Whatever you observed is not related to Affiliates Pro or the integration. One thing though, the checkout and cart screens look rather ‘unthemed’ yet … but other than that it works nicely.
Awesome, I’m seeing the same thing. WooCommerce was working on the issue, maybe they fixed it
Thank you!
Great
Hello!
I was wondering if there is a way to add:
1. Clickthrough data that did not generate sales, so the affiliate can see if people are going to the site (but not making purchases)
2. CTR – click through rate
3. Are there any fancy charts or graphs that I can integrate, or that are already integrated and usable via shortcode?
Thank you again!
Hi Rami,
Regarding 1, yes, actually you can use several options to show stats including hit and visit counts, take a look at the documentation subsections here.
For 2, you can show them the conversion ratio (see above) but the actual CTR based on visits to the affiliate’s site is not available (yet).
There is work being done on including charts for affiliates to see on the frond end for the next release of Affiliates Pro (this is for 3).
Awesome response, Thank you!
Kento,
is it possible to customize the affiliate id via a new attribute, or use the username? A client is *really* wanting this functionality.
So instead of ?affiliates=24 it’d be ?affiliates=username
Thank you
That can be done, I will have to schedule this probably to go along with an option for the parameter id.
Thank you, I look forward to that update!
Hello,
I recently purchased and installed your plugin Affiliates Pro WooCommerce Integration Pack. I’ve looked everywhere and do not see a place for the affiliate to enter their Paypal email address.
Is their sign up email address assumed to be the same as their PayPal address or is there another field I just haven’t located yet?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
You can define the affiliate’s PayPal email address as documented here but unless the affiliate’s PayPal email address is different than the affiliate’s email address you don’t need to define it explicitly – if you just want it to appear when generating the PayPal mass payment file, the affiliate’s email address is used unless the PayPal one is added as an attribute.
Hello,
After looking into the documentation further I have figured out how to add attributes to the individual affiliates.
My question is how can I make the PayPal email address field apart of normal registration so that I do not have to add an attribute(paypal) for every single affiliate.
Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to sort it out by yourself, I just got to answer your previous comment
Although the affiliate registration form does not provide an explicit option, would it be an option to tell your affiliates to sign up with their PayPal email address? If not, they can also edit their profile and provide it there. You can set up an affiliate profile page that allows them to edit their details, including their PayPal email address. The shortcode is documented on this page, an example usage would be
[affiliates_affiliate_profile show_attributes="paypal_email" edit_attributes="paypal_email"].Hi.
1. If I buy Affiliate Pro Woocommerce Integration + Affiliate Pro S2Member Integration will I have two different admin panels or will it all be blended inside one panel?
2. Is there any discount for buying two plugins at once?
3. Why SUSDL (comparing to all other Woo extensions)?
4. Does SUSDL also applies for WP Multisite? For example, I will have a system with lots of child sites so visitors can choose to which site they want to signup to (become members). All those subsites are part of the same story? Will I have to pay for all those subsites. If I do than this is the most expensive affiliate plugin out there. Even more expensive than iDev Affiliate software. I mean, if S2Member and Woo allow me to use their plugin on all subdomains then I would expect to have the same privilege with any extension. Yeah, I know, you make the rules around here
Everything’s handled under the Affiliates menu. Have you considered using the free version? It features more than enough for when you’re just starting and when your business volume justifies it, you can then benefit from the features that Pro offers.
Kento,
Is it possible to customize affiliates pro to work with the WooCommerce coupon codes? Thank you
It’s being developed, so that coupon codes can be related to affiliates. Is that what you’re looking for?
That’s awesome news – thanks again.
Hi Kento,
This seems great, but only if I can use it paired with coupon codes, that is exactly what I’m looking for. I see you say you’re working on that. Any idea when it will be finished?
Make that happen and we got a deal
//Oscar
To be honest, I need it myself like *yesterday* so it’s a top priority
Good stuff! Looking forward to the good news
It’s finally available, the WooCommerce integration now supports coupons
Hi Kento,
I got a problem with my affiliates area: http://www.phonejoy.us/affiliates/
When you try to register I just get a:
ERROR: This username is already registered, please choose another one.
ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one.
No matter what user name I have chosen. I don’t know it used to work before, but it somehow stopped working, not sure why.
Also, could you add classes to the registration form, otherwise I can’t really customize it without editing the shortcode scripts.
Hope you can help,
Martin
I just checked, the registration actually goes through. But the error is not that great. Also is there an Email template? Or would I have to edit the script for that as well?
I did a couple of test registrations as well and get the same thing. The registration goes through but the error is displayed. Let me know about the plugins or if you want to grant access to take a look at the back end that would be fine as well. The email is the standard sent by WordPress, it’s not controlled by the Affiliates Pro plugin. If you want to change it, you should be able to find a plugin that allows to customize the standard registration email sent by WordPress.
Hi Martin, It might be that something else is interfering, what other plugins are active on the site please?
You can style the form and its field quite easily without hacking the scripts (and please don’t because you’ll have to do it over and again after updates): The form’s class is affiliates-registration-form and the fields can be targeted by their ids.
I want an affiliate system which will allow me to specify a fixed amount rather than percentage of the sale. and the amount will vary depending on the product type. Is it possible using affliates woocommerce?
please let me know…
thanks
Thanks for asking. This is an option that has been requested before and is scheduled for an upcoming release. You can already use a fixed amount per referral and it is possible to use your own custom method to do implement very flexible commission schemes, including any variation on commissions per product, but it’s not yet available as a standard feature in the integration. It won’t take long to be made available though.
We downloaded and installed free version with Woocommerce Integration Light. Looks good so far. We’ll probably buy Pro soon.
Cool, thanks!
Hey Kento, everything seems to be going well with Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce, but we’ve had a couple of people question us on whether the links work once shared through Facebook and other social media. If someone shares our affiliate link through social media, I assume that Affiliates Pro will still recognize it when clicked? Reply to confirm and thanks.
Hi Bradley, sure, the links work if shared as well. Same thing applies for link shorteners etc.
Fantastic. Thanks as always for the speedy response!
My pleasure
How do we actually download/receive new versions, Kento?
- Martin
There is a completely new updates section being prepared where you will be able to download new releases. Will be announced very shortly.
I am using the affiliates pro for Woo commerce and all good so far. I have one issue. The email that is sent to new affilates after they sign up on the form provides a link to the wp-admin page rather than to the affiliate login page.
The problem is when they login through wp-admin they are presented with information about shop purchases nothing to do with affiliate info.
Where can I edit this email/set this so that the email provides a link to the affiliate sign in form?
Many Thanks
Colin
Hi Colin, you can use a plugin for that, the SB Welcome Email Editor plugin has been suggested in this comment. Cheers
Thanks!
Hi there! I see you can assign a coupon to an affiliate but can you assign a customer to an affiliate once the coupon or link is used?
Hi Ty, if a customer makes a purchase and has visited the affiliate’s link before or is using a coupon that is assigned to an affiliate, the affiliate will get a commission for that purchase. So ‘assigning a customer to an affiliate’ is not technically correct, although in practice – depending on how things are set up – it can be equivalent: through a) zero referral timeout and/or b) non-expiring coupons.
