Hi,
Could you suggest solution (maybe hook) to assign affiliate based on my algorithm?
ex: if there is no referal link, I would like to select random affiliate /or based on my method/ and persist it.
How could I make it?

Hi Dennis,
You should check the option to store Direct referrals, when there is no affiliate attributable.
Then you should use the filter affiliates_service_affiliate_id if the affiliate_id=1( Direct affiliate’s id), apply your method and return that affiliate_id.
add_filter( 'affiliates_service_affiliate_id', 'gt_affiliate_id', 10 , 2 );
function gt_affiliate_id ( $affiliate_id, $service ) {
if ( $affiliate_id == 1 ) {
//...calculate the new affiliate_id
//...set it as the affiliate_id
$affiliate_id = 7; //for example affiliate with id 7
}
return $affiliate_id;
}
Kind regards,
George
