Demo

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.

    1)Can it be made to approve or disapprove new affiliate registrants?
    2)How can I set up tiered commissions formula for all affiliates. I.E. up to 100 = 5%; 101 to 200 = 10%; etc?

      Hi lee,
      1.- Affiliates are automatically approved. You can set your default referrals status to ‘Pending’ in Affiliates->Settings:Referrals.
      2.- You can create your own custom method. Maybe ‘by sales’ method can help you as reference.
      Regards,

    I’m just looking at different ways of working out the affiliate commission, is there a method to set referral rates for individual products?, or alternatively create categories so for example category a, category b & category c products each earn the affiliates a different referral rate?

    Cheers,

      Hi,
      maybe Affiliates Products can help you. With this plugin, the relationship is one-by-one between affiliate-product.

    Hi

    I have the affiliates pro plugin and use jigoshop.

    I’d like to allow affiliate commission only on specific products and not store wide. Is this possible?

    Hi Kento, is it possible to just go through PayPal and not jigoshop? So I would have some products through paypal and others being sold via jigoshop? And the ones I wanted sold via the affiliates could be sold via one or the other?

      That would complicate things for you rather than solve what you want to achieve – it’s really better to have the product rates.

      Hi, This is available with the WooCommerce integration but currently not with the one for Jigoshop. It could be implemented but you would have to cover for the cost.

    Hi,

    I am not sure if i got it right, so I will reformulate my question.

    I run Jigoshop on domain http://www.JanPatrman.cz with the Affill pro and plugion for Jigoshop.

    I would like to run the Affil pro plugion on domain http://www.AffilGuru.cz because it would be more confortable for the users and cound the the visits and referals on the domain with Jigoshop http://www.JanPatrman.cz

    Is this possible?

      Hi Jan,

      You should have the system running on the site where the sales are recorded. Running it on one domain and tracking hits on another would only be possible if you literally map the hits on domain 1 to domain 2 – that can be achieved in a variety of ways, but it’s something that you cannot do OOTB. You would need to place specific code on the first domain … for example using an iframe that pulls in a page from domain 2 while it recognizes the affiliate link hit on domain 1 and appends it to the URL for the iframe that pulls in content from domain 2. In other words, it can be done, but it’s not something you would normally like to do unless it’s really necessary.

      Another way would be to create a link to domain 2 which recognizes the affiliate link from domain 1, takes the affiliate parameter and adjusts the link to domain 2. It probably depends on how the whole process should work for your clients.

      When you say to make it more comfortable for users, in what way would it be more comfortable? Maybe there’s the clue and an easier solution would be to just run two separate affiliate programs on both sites? With sales on both domains?

      Cheers

    Hi,

    I would like to ask. Can I have Affiliate Pro installed on one WP installation (with its own domain) and Run the Jigoshop on different WP installaton (with a different domain). Will the affiliate program still work?

    Thank you. Jan

      Hi,
      Affiliates works only with a domain. In this case you will have several affiliate systems running, but not connected.
      If user A is an affiliate in domainA, this user A doesn’t exist in domainB, and isn’t an affiliate in B.

    Hi, i want to ask is it can be achieved by your plugin.
    I use jigoshop as my shopping cart, and I want to limit only Product in One specefic category will have referals.
    For example , I sell Ipad and Iphones and Mac Book Pro in my store . I want those 3 product in a category will have referrals for affiliate.

    Other product such as PC-software , Mac software won’t generate referrals for the affiliate.

    Very Cool. I just bought Affiliate-PRO and it’s great. I have one small issue though that’s probably my cause, I can’t get the graphs to show up.
    I’ve used the basic shortcode [affiliates_affiliate_graph]and [affiliates_affiliate_graph interval="month"]but can’t seem to get them to show. Only have 2 test affiliate accounts with small number of test purchases/referrals.

    Do I need to add something? Thanks.

      Can you post a link to the page? It might be a Javascript error caused by another plugin that happens before the ones necessary for the graph to show up are processed.

    I have Affiliates Pro for Jigoshop and just noticed that all new affiliates who sign up are signed up three times under the same username when they complete the form.

    I just did a test myself and nothing funny happened on form submission, to make me think it is user error, but when I looked at my list of affiliates, I have the same test affiliate username listed three times with all the same details except for three different (sequential) IDs.

    Looks like the user only gets the first ID, so I can manually delete the two extra, but I wonder if this is a known issues that can be resolved?

    how much does the enterprise cost and also does it have a feature where you can charge someone to become an affiliate.

    moreover, can we customize it in a manner that the affiliate must buy something within a certain price range before he can withdraw his commissions.

    the reason behind it is to keep trained affiliates who will be given an understanding of the products we sell for which we wish to charge. And monthly when its time to withdraws his commissions he is directed to a new product that he should buy from his commissions. So he gets trained in the new product.

    If the above is not available can we still integrate it as a custom solution. please advice directly to my email should you have difficulty answering on the forum.

      The cost of the Enterprise version depends on the amount of customization that is needed as it normally includes at least some consulting and/or development to suit specific needs. The best would to have a closer look at your requirements and assess the customization you need as some of what you mention is not part of the solution OOTB. You can forward details here.

    hi I need to know whether you have any tier levels integrated to your affiliate system like in wp affiliates its very important i am using jigoshop and i like your plugin but this feature is a must. at least to have two tier levels for the affiliate system.

      Still only with Enterprise. With so many requests coming in for multiple tiers though this is being pushed up in the priorities list to offer a generic solution.

    Hi I was wondering if you could help help me. I’m not sure if your affiliate plugin will do what I’m looking for or not. Basically I’m building a shop site on Jigoshop, this site will have 3 suppliers retailers. My client will handle orders for these 3 different suppliers. Ideally I would like it that when a product is purchased the system can link this product to a certain supplier. Then after payment a percentage is paid automatically to my client and the remainder to the supplier. I was wondering if this would work with your affiliate plugin? Is there anyway to apply affiliates to individual products?

      You shouldn’t use the permissions as you have them for the Subscriber role on the Affiliates > Options screen. Make sure to uncheck all for that role, as this would allow any of the affiliates to control your affiliate program and access private information about affiliates.

      I tried to place a test order but it throws the ‘Invalid shipping method’ error. The referral is created once you have submitted the order – please check that the settings are correct both for the Affiliates Pro plugin (did you set a referral rate in Affiliates > Settings?) and the integration plugin for Jigoshop.

    I have some questions. I use Jigoshop for my site and I downloaded your free plugin. I just found out that you are selling Affiliate Jigoshop Plugin. Do I have to buy this Jigoshop Affiliate plugin in order to make affliate works in my website?
    The the other thing is that since it is a free plugin and some paid plugins. Do you advertise yourself like CJ, Shareasale and Linkshare?
    How do you find affiliates to join you and help to sell products?
    Thank you.

      You don’t have to buy anything, things work with the free version. The decision to use the premium version is pretty much based on whether you need the enhancements.

      This is integrated with Jigoshop’s coupons, so if you have a coupon XMASDEER assigned to an affiliate, the customer will use that code on checkout and the affiliate gets credited with a referral.
      The next release is due shortly, if you have an urgent requirement for this, please get in touch with me and I’ll see if we can speed things up a bit on this.

    There’s a chance that affiliates might send friends/referrals to a site after telling them about it but not have them click a link or banner. Is there a way for shoppers/visitors to enter an affiliate ID in the Jigoshop checkout, similar to a coupon code, to indicate who referred them?

    Thanks,
