Pay per Click

Description

Pay per Click Types

This extension allows to grant affiliates commissions based on the click or visits to their affiliate links. It integrates with Affiliates Pro and Affiliates Enterprise and allows to set up an advertising program where the participants earn commissions based on the traffic they generate to your site.

Commissions can be paid to affiliates based on clicks or visits to their affiliate links. For example, the system can be set up to pay affiliates $0.70 for every 100 Daily Visits.

Referrals are recorded based on the number of clicks, visits or daily visits to an affiliate’s link.

Access to this extension is included with Affiliates Pro and Affiliates Enterprise.

    Hi there!
    I’m looking for something that I can get to work with Download Monitor and bumped into your PPC extension. It lists PPC and pay per visit, the latter I assume tracks every visit that came through that affiliate link but how does the PPC differ? Can I get it to track certain click on my site? In this case it would be a download.

    In short, I’d like to pay affiliates for every download that they are able to generate. Is this any how possible with affiliate Pro + the PPC extension? My downloads are free.

    • Kento December 30, 2022 at 1:49 pm #

      Hi,

      For this case you would have to capture the download event. The PPC extension would not be appropriate. I would assume that the Download Monitor provides an action that fires before/after a download is made. You would hook into that action and use the Affiliates API to record a referral. You could do this with the free version, see our latest post https://www.itthinx.com/2022/12/11/tracking-user-actions-with-affiliates/ for examples on how to do that. The premium versions Affiliates Pro and Affiliates Enterprise provide extended APIs for such an integration.

      Cheers

    Can it work with AffiliateWp? It’s a good plugin for generating traffic, however I already use AffiliateWp. Thanks though.

  3. Bertotto February 6, 2021 at 7:23 am #

    Perhaps this plugin can be useful to me.

    I would like to know if it is possible to define values such as (0.0001 or 0.001) in the option (PAY BY CLICK)?

    In this case, we will use the plug-in only to promote the site and not sell products.

    If it is possible to perform
    a test of a few days would be incredible, or if you can answer me it would help me.

  4. Augusto bertotto February 4, 2021 at 4:45 pm #

    I need to test your pro affiliate system to see if your solution will make sense for my business.

    i need the function (pay per click) is there a possibility to test?

    our aim is only to promote our site through affiliates and pay them for that (cpc) we do not sell products.

    awaiting return.

    i am not able to understand “Daily visitor ” concept

    • Kento August 5, 2020 at 11:16 am #

      Hi Letina,

      Daily visits count as many visits in a day as only one. This is different from plain Visits of which there can be many in a day and all of them would be counted. So the most restrictive option would be the Daily Visits, offering the lowest but most individual count for visits. Documentation reference: Par per Click.

      Cheers

    Hello,

    Thank you for the provision of this solution – we have really wish to make a purchase – however I have the following questions:

    Is the Pay Per Click – for ‘paying affiliates only’? – can we use this as a Pay Per Click for Advertisers (sellers) so that when they create a post – we will charge them per Click?

    For instance – when you visit twitter – if you click on Ad (image and text) – you are redirected to that link (Page) – you do not pay anything for the click – rather the Company that Placed the ad is paying per click – do you have such an option?

    Thank you

    • Kento May 20, 2020 at 8:56 pm #

      Hi Ash,

      > Is the Pay Per Click – for ‘paying affiliates only’?

      You can make it so by combining our free Groups with our premium Groups WooCommerce memberships. With that, you can create a product that aspiring affiliates can purchase and get granted group access to participate in your affiliate program. You would protect the affiliate area using e.g. a “Affiliates” group, for which people can purchase membership via WooCommerce and our Groups WooCommerce integration.

      Cheers

    hi
    is affiliate pro has any similarity with bestchange.com website’s affiliate?

    and can I use the affiliate to promote my blog post without woocommerce?

    • Kento March 19, 2020 at 8:51 pm #

      Hi,

      I don’t know about that site but you can easily contrast what they use with the information from our documentation – here’s the link to the most complete version Affiliates Enterprise’s documentation docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-enterprise/

      You do not need WooCommerce to use the system, please have a look at the integrations section in the documentation where you can find details on other ways.

      Cheers

    Hi, using affiliates plugin with this extension is it possible count click just on link only after a conversion on form for product quote?

  9. Yvonne November 21, 2019 at 5:12 pm #

    I’m sorry but I’m not sure I understand the concept of ‘daily visits’?
    Does that mean that the use of the referral link will register only one visit per day for the affiliate OR will an individual user be counted only once a day?

    • Kento November 22, 2019 at 2:01 pm #

      Hi Yvonne,

      Daily visits reflect any number of clicks during the same day and from the same origin as 1. For example, if Jack hits a link 5 times during the same day, it will count as 1 daily visit. When Sarah hits a link 6 times during that same day, your daily visits will increment by 1, so you end up with 2 daily visits for that day.

      Cheers

  10. Kyle September 27, 2019 at 2:43 pm #

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to figure out a way of paying per visit to a specific URL (a thank you page)….. Pay per click seems close to being able to achieve that, however can’t work out if it’s possible to have pay per click active only on a specified page?

    Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Any advice on achieving the above would be a huge help.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kyle

    • Kento October 8, 2019 at 8:25 pm #

      Hi Kyle,

      Good question! PPC will be valid for any page and we don’t have an option to limit it to a specific page on the level of the affiliate program. But you could restrict it at the server level by using a rewrite rule that recognizes the incoming affiliate link and removes the URL parameter that identifies the affiliate.

      Cheers

      • Kyle October 9, 2019 at 7:23 am #

        Hi Kento,

        Understood! Thank you. I’m not sure this is going to solve my problem. Part of the conversion flow is sending users to another domain, and then back to the thank you URL on confirmation. I was hoping to use your affiliate plugin to use cookies to track that conversion and attribute it to the affiliate, however I’m not sure that’s possible?

        User lands on our site with affiliate ID in URL > submits form which takes them off our domain > redirected to our thank you page hosted on our domain.

        Any advice is greatly appreciated.

        Thank you

        • Kento October 9, 2019 at 9:45 am #

          Hi Kyle,

          For the case you describe, customer is referred to domain A, submits form which takes customer to domain B, gets redirected back to domain A :

          1. The affiliate ID that is recognized on domain A does not need to be carried over to domain B.
          2. When the customer is redirected back to domain A, use the API to record the referral for the successful transaction.

          Knowing the transaction parameters, you can use the system’s API as described under Referrals to record a referral. The link points to the documentation page for Affiliates Enterprise which also supports Pixel Tracking which I think could also be useful for your case.

          Cheers

          • Kyle Gibson October 13, 2019 at 7:45 am #

            Hi Kento,

            This is the solution I have been looking for. Thank you so much!

            I just added the below to the thank you page template and it’s now triggering as a referral. Awesome!

            $post_id = $wp_query->post;
            $r = new Affiliates_Referral_WordPress();
            $r->evaluate( $post_id );

            • Kento October 22, 2019 at 9:13 am #

              Perfect, glad to see that it was easy in this case!

    • Yvonne November 22, 2019 at 2:09 pm #

      Great, thank you. That’s what I was hoping for.

  11. Steve M September 30, 2018 at 12:02 pm #

    I am looking for something to use for my customers that want to pay per view of their personal pages by potential clients. However i do not want to have my customers lose their admin page

    • Kento October 10, 2018 at 5:35 am #

      Hi Steve,

      Pay per Click in the Affiliates system is not related to admin pages, it will count visits via an affiliate link to the front end.

      Cheers

  12. Temmy June 26, 2018 at 12:41 pm #

    Hi, with affiliate enterprise, can I set a referral commission like 5×5 matrix?

    • Kento August 1, 2018 at 1:05 pm #

      Hi Temmy,

      Currently it doesn’t support a forced matrix as you suggest, as it will allow to have any number of affiliates in any level of the downline.

      Cheers

    Hi Antonio,

    I purchased Affiliates Pro awhile back. Is a valid license required to install extensions?

    • antonio March 27, 2018 at 6:23 am #

      Hi Vicent,
      Yes, you need a valid license to install / update the extensions.
      Kind Regards,
      Antonio B.

  14. Domenico February 8, 2018 at 11:19 am #

    Hello!
    Does this plugin only counts the UNIQUE clicks? Or is there a possibility to set a frequency cap, like 1 visit per 48h?
    What if an affiliate refresh its affiliate link several time in minutes? Does it count 1 anyway?

    • Domenico February 8, 2018 at 11:23 am #

      Also, will the affiliate be able to see his stats?

      • antonio February 9, 2018 at 3:34 pm #

        Hi,
        You can use the [affiliates_visits] and [affiliates_hits] shortcodes.
        Kind Regards,
        Antonio B.

    • antonio February 9, 2018 at 3:26 pm #

      Hi Domenico,
      You can select between Clicks, Visits (unique IP),and Daily Visit, please have a look at the documentation page.
      Kind Regards,
      Antonio B.

  15. Yahya August 9, 2017 at 11:37 am #

    Thanks, it helped me a lot. In pay per click integration, I couldn’t display decimal values of their earning, it only gives integer. eg, I want to pay USD 1.03 for every 1000 views. but it only display when it is full number. example if their earning is 23.45, it doesn’t display 23.45, instead it displays either 23 or 24. And also I need to set up custom currency instead of using pre loaded currencies. eg. I need to use ETB instead of USD. How can achieve this?

    • antonio August 11, 2017 at 3:29 pm #

      Hi Yahya,
      Only integer value is allowed. Maybe playing with the Amount and Frecuency fields you can get the price per visit/click.
      You can use the ‘affiliates_supported_currencies’ filter to add ETB, the filter is documented here: http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-pro/api/filters/
      Kind Regards,
      Antonio B.

  16. Yahya August 5, 2017 at 11:38 am #

    Hey Antonio, I recently have bought Affiliates pro for the sole purpose of using its Pay per Click integration. I need my users (affiliates) to be able to get all links on my site on one page so that they could share it easily on Facebook and other social medias, I played a little with the short codes but, I couldn’t figure out how to do that. Only one link is displayed. I need it to get all links and display it on one page for them, like fetch the rss or anything like that. And also my Add this button doesn’t show up unless I login as an administrator.

    • Kento August 5, 2017 at 3:09 pm #

      Hi,

      Please have a look at this page in the documentation where you will find details on a shortcode that you can use to produce any links you want to have displayed on a page. Also I’d suggest to have a look at this generator shortcode which is useful to produce further affiliate links when your affiliates need them. If you need further help please post here in the premium support forum where our support team will be happy to help you further.

      Cheers

  17. Geoffrey Gordon May 8, 2017 at 7:33 am #

    Hi There

    Please tell me if your plugins can achieve this.

    1)I have a website which has listings of products for display only.
    2)These products are not bought on our website.
    3) When a visitor clicks on the product is links out to the website that is selling it.
    4) I simply want to add a pay per click system for clients that list products on our website.
    5) We could have a credit system of points to monitor this.
    6) We want to charge our customer for clicks generated from our website to theirs.

    • antonio May 8, 2017 at 8:37 am #

      Hi Geoffrey,
      With Pay Per Click you can “count” the visits/clicks and set commissions to the affiliates every X visits/clicks
      Really the plugin works with currency, not “points”, but you could use the ‘affiliates_supported_currencies’ filter to add the “POINTS” ID, the filter is documented here: http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-pro/api/filters/
      Kind Regards,
      Antonio B.

  18. Orhan July 7, 2016 at 12:56 am #

    Hi, is it possible to get pay per click work on external links, maybe in emails too?
    thank you for help

    • antonio July 7, 2016 at 8:21 am #

      Hi Orhan,
      Pay Per Click works counting the visits from an affiliate’s custom link. The affiliates can share their custom link by email, but the destination url must be the wordpress website.
      Kind Regards,
      Antonio B.

I m really frustrated now. A detailed solution may help since I am just a novice to wordpress, I dont think I will be able to follow some of the technical jargon that I have come across in the help forums.

    Yes, I do see the word Affiliates… When clicked it goes to an application to become an affiliate. Once I fill it out it only gives me information if indeed I am an affiliate.

    By the way… I was able to get the contact form integration to work…. YEAH!

    • Scott May 18, 2015 at 8:11 pm #

      DUH… Okay, I see it. I had been searching your website under affiliates. Got it

  25. Scott May 18, 2015 at 1:33 am #

    In an earlier answer you stated that integrations could be found at: Affiliates->Settings:Integrations
    I clicked on Affiliates and it gives me an application to join your affiliate program.
    Filled out the form… Nothing there.

    • antonio May 18, 2015 at 9:04 am #

Could you please let me know if this is possible.Possibly a secondary log in screen or something along that line

    • antonio April 7, 2015 at 10:15 am #

      Hi John,
      with the plugin you can generate commission when someone visits your page using the affiliate’s link. Your users don’t lost their page, simply need to share their link.
