    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Cheers!

      Hi,

      Hi,
      every time a user pay a subscription, the affiliate get a commission. If the subscription is monthly, affiliate get a commission monthly, similar quarterly and yearly.
      You must enable ” Enable product referral rates” in Affiliates->Woocommerce Integration, and set a default rate and/or a product rate in each product.

      cheers

            in Affiliates->S2Member, in section “Subscriptions & referrals” you must check ” Maintain subscription referrals for the initial affiliate.” and set limit mantaining subscription (If set to 0, there is no time limit).

            cheers

        It was only those two options. I finally got it to work by turning them off one at a time. If I turned them both off and clicked “Save,” they would come back. Doing them one at a time seemed to fix the issue.

    Does the multi-tier system work with Affiliates Products? So for a given product, can a designate a certain commission percentage to go to one affiliate, and then a different percentage to a second tier affiliate? And what if the products are downloadable products as opposed to tangibles?

    Reply
    • kento March 21, 2013 at 12:43 pm #

      It’s not supposed to support it. Affiliates Products is intended to grant a commission on product sales to one affiliate at a given rate.

        Hi
        ive solved all the problem and the only last is the commission for tier.

        i can set tier and from default rate, and the commission are correct, RM100 for level 1, RM30 for level 2, but i set to product rate, the zero to certain product commission payout for level 2 is RM0 which is correct, But the level 2 still RM30, i hope you get what i mean.

        thanks

          Hi,
          this is correct. Multi tier commissions are general, but when you set a product rate, this is only for the affiliate. Therefore product A generates a commission to affiliate A (level 1) of 0 (rule defined in product rate), but a commission to B (level 2) nonzero (rule defined in multi tier).

          we are working for commissions are based on the level above, and this solve your case. We will add it in future updates, please follow us on twitter to be notified (@itthinx).

    Dear support team,

    I am planning to purchase the Affiliate Enterprise Plugin. Before buying it, I have one question:

    -> will it be difficult to integrate it with the Magic Members membership plugin (http://www.magicmembers.com/)?

    Thank you for a quick feedback!

    Reply
    • kento March 9, 2013 at 9:15 pm #

      Hi Joachim,

      I’m not sure if it would be difficult to integrate with that plugin, as far as Affiliates/Pro/Enterprise is concerned, it offers an API and several integration examples that can be used and normally it’s easy to integrate with other systems as long as they provide a means of hooking into their process.

      Another option would be to consider an existing integration, for example Jigoshop or WooCommerce and Groups + its appropriate integration (either one of the free ones with Affiliates or a premium integration with Affiliates Pro or Enterprise) or Affiliates Pro/Enterprise & s2Member.

      If you have any particular questions regarding these integrations, you’re welcome to ask further.

    Hi.
    1) Affiliate’s “pretty link” – gets 404.
    (regular affiliate’s link works. I’ve pretty links on the site)
    2) I’m going to install a Graph Chart WP plugin (to use it with Affiliate Enterprise Affiliate Stat graph).
    How do I incorporate / use the plugin to work with Affiliate Enterprise?
    3) I’m try to differentiate affiliates from regular users.
    If I add a user Role “Affiliate”.(right now the affiliates are “subscriber” role).
    What / where do I have to change in Affiliate Enterprise so when a new affiliates signs up it is user Role “Affiliate”?
    Also, will that work Affiliate Enterprise.
    Thanks

      Hi there,
      #1 Please post the link you are using.
      #2 You would pull it from the database and feed it that plugin, this of course depends on what interface that plugin offers and what data you want to show through it.
      #3 Affiliates are their own entities, affiliate entries can – but are not necessarily – related to user accounts. So using a role to identify them would not necessarily provide what you would expect. If all your affiliates have related user accounts, then of course it might be a solution. What would you use the role for exactly?

        Hi Kento.
        #1
        AE puts out the links for affiliate:
        link: http://www.mysite.com?affiliate=1 – works-
        Pretty: http://www.mysite.com/affiliate/1 -doesn’t work-
        #2 What I’m thinking is: install the Graph Chart WP plugin – then, in AE where it calls the Graph display file – replace that with the Graph Chart WP plugin file name/shortcode.
        So when AE calls: Graph display – the Graph Chart WP plugin would display the graphs (not AE display)….does it make since?…
        So, in AE script – where is AE calls the “Graph” display file – that is where I need to make the change.
        #3 I use “User Role Editor” plugin to create different roles -which then helps in managing users based on roles- then assign capabilities based on they role. Like “Store Manager” -who can manage store products- but nothing else.
        Which also makes it easy when “change” people.
        So creating a role: “Affiliate” makes it easy to manage users who are affiliates.-aside from other users with “subscriber” role.

        Thanks

          Ok, on #1, do you have a page at .../affiliate? It might be a problem if there is a page sitting at the same URL.
          For #2 as I haven’t used that plugin I can’t say if that would work, but if you can feed it the data, I’d say it should. But I would recommend to do it outside in a separate plugin (don’t hack the plugin code).
          For #3 if you have a look at the registration form code you will see there are several action hooks fired which can be used to assign a specific role to the newly added user. Let me know if you know how to use that.

    I would like a nicer graph display.
    1)How do I change the affiliate stat Graph display style.
    example:
    a) a nicer style
    b)change to: Pie chart
    c)use Pictograph (icon display) show affiliates their sub affiliates
    2) how do I show the graphs side by side
    3) on affiliate log-out redirect to same page (I don’t want to send affiliates to main wp login.

    Thanks
    btw: what plugin you use for the numbers in this form

    Reply
    • kento February 28, 2013 at 2:59 pm #

      a) It depends on what you mean by ‘nicer’ as the perception of beauty is rather subjective.
      b) Pie chart is not an option (yet?), what aspect would you want to display?
      c) There is a shortcode solution coming up to show the network.
      2) You could use container divs for that.
      3) See Useful Plugins (also for the captcha plugin).

        Thanks for your reply. I was aware of that already but is there anyway to update the label text for the email form field that appears with the [affiliates_registration] registration form to inform affiliates that the email that they are to enter into the email address should also be the email address that they use to receive PayPal payments? I just want to avoid confusion as much as possible and the affiliates who signup may be aware of this.

    I’d like to log the suggestion/request for the ability to change which Affiliate a Sub-Affiliate is assigned to in the multi-tier hierarchy. For example if “Affiliate B” is a sub-affiliate of “Direct” but had intended to sign-up under their friend “Affiliate A”, I can shift “B” to be a sub-affiliate of “A” instead.

            I just upgraded to the new Aff. Ent. and Woocommerce integration. Now whenever a visitors gets to my site through an affiliate’s link, they’re sent to my blog posts. I don’t use blog postings on this site, so it looks to the visitor like my website is down. My WP Read settings are set to have “a static page” as my front page, not “my latest posts”… so I don’t understand how the Aff. plugin is redirecting visitors to my blog.

            An example of an affiliate link is http://mycapitalletters.com?affiliates=132

            Something else I notice with the new upgrade, is that when I visit an affiliate link… the URL bar stays on that affiliates link instead of redirecting to mycapitalletters.com (without the “?affiliates=132” part). I actually like the fact it doesn’t lose the “?affiliates=132” better, just a difference I noticed is all.

    Hi there,
    This looks really cool. Actually I have a client and we are running his whole affiliate system for him through multiple services and hold html pages. We’ve been doing it like this for years. Now he wants to upgrade and we usually do simple WordPress sites etc. We want to be able to use a crm maybe (wp-crm) woocommerce, and then this looks like a good system for the affiliate system. If you don’t mind can you recommend the correct version of the product I should purchase from here. Also if you can shed any light on integrating this with a crm/woocommerce of if there is even a need to do that, I’d really appreciate it. You can reach me at my email and I’ll be subscribed to this post. Thank you

      Hi Alex,
      I would first recommend to have a look at the free Affiliates plugin and the free WooCommerce integration to see if that suits what you have in mind. I haven’t tried WP-CRM but I have quite extensive experience consulting and developing for clients based on people and process-oriented solutions (where technology is the very least and last part of concern). If the free versions fit in with what you have in mind, then you could consider upgrading and going steps further ahead with regards to CRM.

    Hi.
    Another question:
    User goes to affiliate2’s site and clisk on the affiliate link – goes to my site but don’t buy.
    SAME User goes to affiliate3’s site and clisk on the affiliate link – goes to my site but don’t buy.

    Next day, the user goes to my site and buys.

    Who gets the refferal / commission?

    Hi.
    Just bought Affiliate Enterprise.

    in your email: You can access your account area here: https://www.itthinx.com/my-account/
    …..it’s blank…. no login.

    Question:
    1) Support is only this Internet forum?
    (no separate support for members?)

    2)Want to setup a (first affiliate) Aff1
    So Aff1 will get commission from all tier level….. from all affiliates / referrals / purchases.etc

    How do I do it?

    Please send me instruction.

    Thanks

    Reply
    • kento February 15, 2013 at 9:34 am #

      Re #1 Yes, questions regarding the Enterprise release can be posted here.

      For #2, the closest setting you could use for that is in Affiliates > Tiers Direct is a referrer and probably Always record referrers, note that if a new affiliate is actually referred by another affiliate, then that one will not be a sub-affiliate of Direct. Is there any particular motivation to have all affiliates as sub-affiliates of one particular account?

        On #2.
        The reason is. Let just say…it is a personal “reward” I want Aff1 to get a commission for all tier level. Question: #1. What if I set the links on registration page (and add the Aff1 ID to the links), would that make aff1 as the referrals – so like for a new affiliate registration (Aff2) then would make Aff1 as a referrals and Aff1 would get commission after Aff2. Right? #2. Then if Aff2 refers another affiliate/purchase, Aff1 will also get a commission….right? Since Aff1 was a referral….I don’t know if “sub-affiliate” or not..I just try to set it up so Aff1 get commission from everyone….
        I hope there is a solution…
        Thanks

          Ummm … to be honest I’m not sure if I do understand exactly šŸ™‚ If you just want to grant a commission on every sale to a certain affiliate, there is a filter that can be used to do that: affiliates_record_referral. A small plugin can be coded which would then record a referral for a specific affiliate on each and every normal referral.

    ok,
    im interested to use your affiliates pro/enterpr. version since the basic version does not cover the need of
    “Setting up a marketing resources page for affiliates”.

    (1)
    if after creating the resource, i can customize the links/banners landing page
    (i mean using custom urls for the links )

    (2)
    and the link/banner together (i mean as having a whole block containing all my links
    and pics resulting in something like a whole page with text/links/pics which can be copy pasted by the affiliates to their hosted websites)

    (3)
    if after creating the affliate key and using it in the affiliate’s link there is a payment per action/registration/purchase, meaning after a
    visitor registers or purchases a product of a custom url(1) resource link,
    if i get to record that kind of action so i can pay my affiliate with that option

    (4)
    alternative payment methods besides paypal

    interested in:
    entropay
    wire tranfer
    western union
    webmoney

    to be more presice.

    (5)
    if im able to make referals based on this website(my refferals) not my affiliates referals

    Reply
    • kento February 11, 2013 at 6:25 pm #

      #1 & #2 is possible with both free and Pro or Enterprise, the latter two make things a lot easier to set up though (see the documentation about shortcodes and links from there for more info on that).
      The other points really depend on the system you want to you as your store or membership plugin and you will probably need some customization for #3 depending on what is already supported or not. There is no restriction on payment methods you use, the system provides a totals section that generates a mass payments file which you can then use with those processors that allow to make payments using such a file or simply manually if required. For #5 I think you’re referring to referrals that are not attributable to any affiliate but have been made directly through the site, there is the Direct affiliate intended exactly for that.

    Hello again,

    Next questions:

    1. What is the difference between “hits” and “visits”?
    From my tests follows that hits correspond to the number of clicks in affiliate link. And “visits” correspond to the number of unique visitors.
    Is this true?

    2. How to show in the affiliate statistics number of subaffiliates per level and earnings from the subaffiliates?

    Reply
    • kento February 5, 2013 at 8:27 pm #

      Regarding #1 that’s correct.
      Currently there is no shortcode for #2 but adding shortcodes specific to affiliate relations is currently being considered. Of course it could be shown in a template file by accessing the data, if that’s what you want to do we could work out a code example for you to use.

        Another problem:
        Shortcode: [affiliates_affiliate_stats type = "stats-referrals" show_pending = "true" /] in the “Post” column shows a link to the order, not to the post. Link redirects to “not found” page.
        In “Post” column logged affiliate see:
        “Protected: Order – Feb 02, 2013 @ 09:42 AM”

        • kento February 5, 2013 at 8:22 pm #

          Emailed the .pot files just now. What appears in the Post column is correct, the integration stores the order’s post ID and that’s what appears, not found is because the affiliate isn’t allowed to access the order data. You should use the short code this way: [affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" show_pending="true" show_post="false"].

    I’m using Affiliates Enterprise / WooCommerce and I see how to add a PayPal email address field as an attribute for a specific affiliate but I need to add the PayPal email address field to the affiliate sign-up registration form. Please tell me that I won’t have to manually add the PayPal email address field to each individual affiliate, it would take me a very long time to do so.

    Thanks

    • kento February 1, 2013 at 7:52 pm #

      It’s quite simple, the address used when an affiliate registers is used as the default. If you want them to be able to provide an alternative email, you can include it and let them modify it as documented here.

    I already own a license for Affiliates Pro that I purchased from Pippin at EDD. Since you include all integrations with Affiliates Enterprise, how much do those of us who already purchased another integration pay for an upgrade from Pro to Enterprise? I don’t see any mention of an upgrade price on your shop page for the extension…

        Can it be set?

        2. Affiliates Products
        When I use this extension can affiliate earn commision set in “Affiliate Products” (his product) and standard affiliate commision together?
        For example, the author of the product receives 50% commission on each sale. But he also promotes the product through his affiliate link (the standard commission for partners is 25%). Does he will charge a 75% commission if the sale occurs with his affiliate link?

      You can either derive a registration form from the existing one (coding involved) or use a plugin such as Profile Builder (see Useful Plugins) to add the fields to the user profile.

      Another option would be to use your own form and call Affiliates_Registration::register_affiliate( $userdata ).

If you haven’t generated the default affiliate area yet, please try it (go to Affiliates > Options and hit the Generate button on top of the page). When logged in as an affiliate, on that page you will see basic HTML code that can be used to embed the affiliate’s link on a page.
      Please make sure to have a look at the documentation as well, there is a lot of useful information related to how you can create additional resources for your affiliates.

    More specifically, adding another variable to the affiliate URL
    http://url.com/?affiliateid=user&campaignid=facebookad

    This way affilaites would be able to know where their
    referrals come from and if they are doing paid advertising
    which are profitable.

      It’s been available all the time with customized deployments, that’s what seemed to make most sense because most projects have particular requirements that are difficult to cover with a generic solution. That said, a generic solution still is planned to be released but had to be postponed because of other priorities. Thanks for showing interest in this, with more interest shown in a generic solution it’s also much more probable to have it ready soon.

      I would suggest to the affiliates on one site to sign up with the affiliate program on the other site. To simply add them on a site where they haven’t signed up and agreed with the terms, could raise privacy and legal issues. If you invite them to join the other site as well, they can decide if they want to and accept the terms when joining.

        Kento,

        Thanks for the prompt reply. Iā€™m encouraged that your excellent plugin may be coded to support what Iā€™m looking for. I really believe you can fill an empty niche with an affiliate network management plugin, as Iā€™ve been unable to find one.

        Actually, the app at alstrasoft.com/affiliate.htm will do just about everything Iā€™d like. But, unfortunately, there are many adverse comments and reviews out on the web about this company. (I know nothing personally about them. I am only reporting what I have read, and which can be easily found in the Google SERPs when searching that company.)

        By viewing ā€œFeaturesā€ on the above page you can get an idea of whatā€™s needed. At this point I donā€™t know enough about your plugin to compare side-by-side and list what new coding is needed to adapt it to support a basic, lean affiliate network management plugin. Then, features could be added later, etc.

        I started to compile a list of ā€œmust havesā€ and ā€œnice to havesā€ but got lost in all the details of each program. Your plugin may already have many of essentially the same features in it. And you would be a good judge of what would be necessary functionality. However, I can make a complete list if necessary.

        At this point, does this still look do-able?

          About the features, I suggest you take a look at the feature comparison and then at the documentation. There are also videos about each integration, just visit the shop and watch a few. I would say you should then be able to get a clear picture of whether this meets your requirements in general and if it does, which of the integrations would be most suitable for your case.

      I suggest to have a look at the documentation, the Enterprise version is usually customized according to specific requirements. Please email me with your requirements.

    perfect so soon … at this time 1 tier is ok but over the coming months do you think that will be a feature that will integrate well into our current install without losing the data on our current affiliates?

    we can always role out a campaign to current affiliates promoting the new 2nd tier if that is an option.

      Yes it should certainly fit in without affecting the data integrity on an update or on ‘activating’ secondary tiers. And as interest continues to grow, I’d say give it a couple of months max to be available – that’s no promise, but a good guess šŸ˜‰

    does your pro version include a two tier affiliate program or will I require the enterprise to get two tier? …I have purchased pro already but have not yet installed seen this link in the readme file šŸ˜€

    thanks;

      The Pro version doesn’t provide multi-tiers yet … this seems to be getting more and more popular though and as it’s been asked for more often recently, I’m considering adding a generic multi-tier capability to Pro. Up to now the requests for that kind of affiliate program always were so different that a generic solution didn’t seem feasible to provide and each implementation was based on a customized Enterprise.

        I would like a multi-tier affiliate capability for Pro, please! Let me know when it comes. Will help to increase my coverage for the products I’m offering. Many thanks.

    I’d like information on Affiliates Enterpsie. Specifically: what is the license, and what features are included (we use the WP eCommerce plugin for most websites)? Do you have an unlimited site license?

      You can find the SUSDL that applies to the Pro and Enterprise plugins here.
      Unless you need to manage multi-tier affiliate programs or have specific requirements, the integration with WP e-Commerce based on Affiliates Pro is adequate for most deployments and you can download the Affiliates Pro WP e-Commerce Integration Pack here.
      For volume licensing please email me with an estimate number of licenses needed.
