    hi,
    I’m interested in buying your AFFILIATE PRO plugin and had some pre-sales questions:

    1. is the plugin compatible with PAID MEMBERSHIP PRO plugin?
    2. do I pay my affiliates directly through the plugin?

    thanks a lot

      Hi,
      1.- Sorry, there isn’t integration with this plugin.
      2.- You can generate a mass payment file which can be used to pay affiliates through PayPal or other processors.
      cheers

    Is there a version that allows the WordPress admin to easily change the affiliate registration form or would that require editing the registration class file in the plugin? I need to know ASAP as I want to use this for a client. Thanks

    Quick question. I sell subscriptions. If someone subscribes my services through an affiliate link, it is possible to link that to the affiliate everytime they renew?

    What does this plugin do? Plugin Name: Affiliates Members (Example)

    will it display referrals new signups in their back office? If so how do i get it working and what is the shortcodes?

    cheers,

    James 🙂

      Hi,
      you don’t need to add any shortcode. With the plugin installed and activated, if a userA comes from an affiliateA link, and the userA s registred as wordpress user, then AffiliateA get a commission.

    I am trying to find where to adjust the affiliate rev share, I am using the FREE version at this point and will be buying the PRO version as soon as I can get this up and running.

    Right now I have no idea where to change the revshare for my affiliates. Please help Kento, please help.

      Hi,
      Affiliates free version needs an integration to set the rev share ( Woocommerce Light/pro, eshop … ). in Affiliates Pro/Enterprise you can set a general commission method ( fixed, rates, cuatom method ) in addition to integrations values.
      cheers

        Antonio,

        Thanks for responding to my question. I am using Restrict Content Pro and have the integration plug via Pippin installed. Does that help you any?

        Would love to get this set up and tested before upgrading to PRO.

              Yep, looks like he wasn’t aware of that 😛

              I’ve checked the integration, there’s a little flaw in how it obtains the referral rate when you’re using the free version of the Affiliates plugin. It tries to obtain the referral rate from an option but that option doesn’t exist unless you’re using Affiliates Pro. A workaround is to modify the corresponding line in the integration, look for this line:

              $referral_rate = get_option( 'aff_def_ref_calc_value' );

              and, assuming a referral rate equivalent to 10% commissions, change it to:

              $referral_rate = 0.1;

    Hi, I am trying to set up the banners page. I uploaded the images myself and copied and pasted the code on this page: http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/setting-up-affiliate-resources/setting-up-a-marketing-resources-page-for-affiliates/affiliate-banners/
    With regard to the photo ids – where do you find these? I just used the words my pictures were called.

    Also I need specific pages for my banners, not the main home page. How do I do this?

    So example of my code so far is: (where the photo is called “banner tim”)
    [affiliates_affiliate_link attachment_id="banner tim" /]
    Use this code to embed it on your site:
    [affiliates_affiliate_link attachment_id="banner tim" render="code" /]

      Hi,
      you can see your image id on Media menu. When you put the mouse over the image link, you can see the id in your browser bottom.
      http://i41.tinypic.com/29wl8r4.jpg

      If you need redirect to a specific page, you can use “url” attribute, for example: [affiliates_affiliate_link attachment_id="51" render="code" url="www.yourdomain.com/yourpage"/]

        Hi Antonio,

        I downloaded the *.POT files from github but my translations is not appears on the site.

        Could you please check it out and tell me what I’m doing wrong?

        Here’s the steps I did:
        1. I created the “New Catalog from POT file” to get *.PO file
        2. I translated *.PO and get *.MO file
        3. I put *.PO and *.MO file to the next folders
        affiliates-2.4.2.pot >>> affiliates-ru_RU.po/mo >>> to lib/ext/languages
        affiliates-pro-2.4.2.pot >>> affiliates-ru_RU.po/mo >>> to lib/core/languages

    Hi Kento,

    Can I apply the “terms_PAGE_id” attribute instead of “terms_POST_id” for [affiliates_registration] shortcode? Because I don’t use posts fom my e-commerce project.

    In tutorial video you created Term&Cond PAGE but apply “terms_POST_id” as attribute.

    Thank you in advance.

    • antonio November 4, 2013 at 8:26 am #

      Hi,
      as attribute “terms_post_id” you can use post or page ids. For example, if you have a page with id 23, you can use [affiliates_registration terms_post_id="23" /]

    Hey,

    I have a question about cookie.

    I am about to launch an online training with registration page (www.MitVliv.cz) and followup videos.

    To promote it I have an affiliate program.

    My partner will send out emails with links to different videos. However, I need that people how have not registered for the program would not be shown the web page with video, but the registration page.

    Do you have any plugin or code for it. So people who did not went through registration would be forwarded to registration page.

    Thank you.

      Hi,
      you can use Groups and Groups 404 redirect for this purpose.
      Creates a “protected” page with the videos. If the user is registered, then he can see it, and if the user is not registred, then he is redirected to registration page.

    Hello,

    I have a problem with a plug in conflict. I have been using affiliates pro for quite sometime now and just discovered that it is the plug in causing a conflict with my events calendar working properly. Here’s the page to see what it is doing… http://omvcostarica.info/resort-community/events-calendar/ Under the “Post Your Event” button there are some buttons to view the coming month or past month. The affiliates pro plug in renders those buttons unable to perform the task of moving to the next month. It starts to go and then freezes. Occasionally it will go through to the next month but if I move again or try to go back to the previous month it will freeze again. I have meticulously gone through and eliminated every other possibility and it is definitely this plug in causing the conflict. Any help would be appreciated. Both plugins are very important so I can’t just get rid of one for the other. I need them both to work in harmony.

    Thanks,

    Duane Overturf

      Hi Duane,

      Why do you think that it’s Affiliates Pro? Have you tried disabling it and see if things work as expected on that page? I’m asking because after having a look at the page, I don’t see where it could actually be related. Also the plugin doesn’t actually influence how these buttons are rendered … let’s see if deactivating makes a difference on the page. Let us know when you’ve checked that please.

    but the affiliate does not have a page control generated by the affiliates own? in case it by logging on the website, it does not meet your sales, commissions, etc? I would have to create this on your own page with shortcodes and host it on the site?

    When you say [affiliates_url]http://www.store.com/product/chair[/affiliates_url, how it will be the final link for the affiliate spread?

    Hello , I have a woocommerce e-commerce and I’m interested in this plugin affiliates PRO but have some questions : How is the screen to control the affiliates ? I did not find any video or picture shows how are shown to Their his sales , commissions , date , etc. . . You can make payments to affiliates in manual way and not by paypal ? For example asking the bank account information and then Selecting the affiliate paid them manually ?

    How does the integration of affiliates with woocommerce and payment gateways ? I’m from Brazil and here use another payment gateway called PagSeguro . The affiliates commission account after I approve the sale in woocommerce ? Or is it done automatically When the status of the sale is changed ? if so to what status ?

    How does the disclosure of affiliate links to specific products ? for example , my website is called http://www.store.com and I have a product called chair with link http://www.store.com / product / chair . As the can advertise your affiliate link to sell this product in specific ? It adds to your affiliate id to the end of the link? Is there any shortcode to display the affiliate link on specific product page under banners of affiliate? ( as is done with own banners in the video demonstration )

    And finally, this plugin has PT_BR translation ? If it is not possible for me to translate at least part of the affiliate control ?

    Thanks, waiting for the answers 🙂

      Hi,

      – You have available a lot of shortcodes that you can use to generate the “affiliate-area” page to show to affiliates their data.
      You can use Affiliates Extra Fields to create new fields where user can set her bank account information. On Affiliates->Referrals you can see the commissions, and “close” when you paid.

      – Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration uses Woocommerce notifications. If your payment gateway is available for Woocommerce, it must work. With pro version you can config it to change the status according to the order status automatically.

      – You can use [affiliates_url] for example: [affiliates_url]http://www.store.com/product/chair[/affiliates_url], similar with [affiliates_affiliate_link]: [affiliates_affiliate_link url="http://www.example.com/products/" /]

      - The .pot files have been available here: https://github.com/itthinx/affiliates-translations – if you want to contribute translations back, please fork the repo and create a folder with your translations using the locale, e.g. pt_BR

      cheers

      I think you mean a multi-tier, for example:

      If AffiliateA get a comission, then AffiliateB gets a percentage of this.

      In this case, you need Affiliates Enterprise version.

          Always make a backup before and be sure you have NOT checked “Delete all plugin data on deactivation” on Affiliates->Options.
          In your downloads page you have a coupon to upgrade.

    Is there some way to include two domains on the affiliates plugin?

    I have a social network and am working on a marketplace that will be linked to it (Writaz & Writaz Market). I’d like to be able to give those who link to the social network site any commission that comes from a buyer seeing a marketplace item and going to the new site to buy it.

    This way, affiliates won’t mind just giving out the social network URL, which is where we need to start getting more members.

    Thanks for all your help to date guys… everything running smoothly with plugin and survived a payday lol 🙂

    I do have a request though. a lot of referrals/affiliates would love to see their downlines/referrals names and emails. Can this be done. i am pretty sure that I have seen it before either it was in a previous version or a setting/shortcode i am now missing.

    I would really love this feature added as it is asked to me often, almost daily by my users. A simple shortcode which would pull in and display names and emails of paid/free affiliates with a filter system. Or can this already be done with the stats shortcode?

    Many thanks guys, look forward to hearing more from you on this.

    Have a great day, James 🙂

      This is usually related to the emails that the site send ending up in the spam folder of the recipient or by the receiving server rejecting the incoming email. Give WP Mail SMTP (see http://www.itthinx.com/useful-plugins/) a try.

    I’m having problems with an affiliate. For some reason each time I did an order (I’m the owner of the website) he is getting a commission as if It was his referral.

    How can I clean this tracking ?

      Hi,
      you can remove the referrals in Affiliates->Referrals (you have a X icon). But you can’t remove visits/hits (you could do it directly in database).

    Hi,
    I created a page with registration short code [affiliates_registration terms_post_id="xxx" /] in my s2member site, and the page is only for members to apply.

      Hi,

      I would try the free version of the plugin to see if it fits in within what you require. You can use any of the free integrations with e-commerce solutions along with it to set up a test or live site. You can also consider having customizations done once you are sure that the system essentially works for you.

    Hi, I bought Affiliates Pro for EDD a couple of hours ago and ran a couple of purchase demos. I’m wondering why is it that
    each time I login as a buyer to a login page protected using EDD shortcode [edd_login], I can’t access the Affileate Area generated by AP. The affiliate page says I have to login before I can access the page. Isn’t it supposed to be one login sign on?

    Reply
    • kento September 8, 2013 at 7:26 pm #

      Hi Amanda,

      The default affiliate area checks if the current user is an affiliate and asks to sign up if she or he is not. It’s not related to the shortcode you mention, rather it’s because the system is restricting access to the content within the page to those users who already have signed up as affiliates. If you have a look at the shortcodes that are determining this behavior on the page and taking the Shortcodes into account, you’ll get a clearer picture of that.

        Hi Kento, I think I know what’s causing the problem. It’s because when I conducted the test I actually have not yet become an affiliate. I assumed that whenever someone make a purchase, she’ll automatically become an affiliate. I just realized that this is not true. To make a buyer become an affiliate automatically I have to install other addon (http://www.itthinx.com/shop/affiliates-users/). Am I correct? If I am, is the addon (Affiliate Users) compatible with EDD?

    I need some clarity. After I installed the plugin, under Affiliates/Settings it reads:

    If you have not been granted a license DO NOT USE this plugin until you have BEEN GRANTED A LICENSE.

    * Use of this plugin without a granted license constitutes an act of COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT and LICENSE VIOLATION and may result in legal action taken against the offending party.

    Being granted a license is GOOD because you will get support and contribute to the development of useful free and premium themes and plugins that you will be able to enjoy.

    Thank you! Visit http://www.itthinx.com for more information.

    1. How do I know if I have been granted a license through my purchase?

    2. Is the license an actual license number that I must purchase separately and install into my Affiliates Pro or Affiliates EDD somewhere?

    3. Or, is the license based only on my installation and recorded by itthinx automatically?

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Hi,

    I’m very interested to purchase Affiliates Pro for EDD. A couple of questions if I may:

    1. Do I have to purchase Affiliates Pro+Affiliates Pro for EDD integration or Affiliates Pro for EDD integration has already Affiliates Pro built into it?
    2. I notice that Affiliates Pro for EDD integration is also available at EDD website. So, where should I buy the plugin from? What’s the difference (if there’s any).
    3. I believe Affiliates Enterprise is a bundle package (all integrations are included). Is my understanding correct?
    4. Is there some sort of affiliate fraud prevention mechanism built into Affiliates Pro? Such as this: http://www.postaffiliatepro.com/features/fraud-protection/
    5. What is the license for Affiliates Pro for EDD and Affiliates Enterprise? On how many domains I can install the plugin.

    Thanks in advance. Apology for asking many questions.

      Hi,
      1.- Affiliates Pro for EDD integration already contains Affiliates Pro. You only need purchase the integration.
      2.- Both are the same, but I recommend buying it directly in itthinx.
      3.- Affiliates Enterprise provides all features integrated in Affiliates Pro and advanced features including support for unlimited multi-tier marketing programs.
      4.- Relating to sales the system does not allow duplicate orders. But not controlled if the orders come from the same IP, because behind an ip can be a business center or different users. With referrals status you could control the acceptance of commissions.
      5.- Affiliates and integrations have SUSDL license.

      kind regards

    Antonio, I understand that the plugin design doesn’t currently do this. I would suggest however that it should. I am not a developer. Creating an “Add manually extended” through the API is not something I would be able to do. Perhaps this is a suggestion as an “added feature” for your next release of the plugin.

    Thanks, Mike

    • kento August 13, 2013 at 12:28 pm #

      Hi Mike,

      Thanks for the suggestion, the main reason why this isn’t linked in there is because the semantics of the field that links to the order is ‘origin of the referral’ within an automated context. So basically that’s why I didn’t provide it as an editable field when adding or editing a referral. On the other hand, I can understand that for those orders that have had their referrals added manually, it would be convenient to be able to add the reference. I would suggest to note the order number in the Description field for that. Although you wouldn’t see the link, you would be able to locate the referral by order number using the filters.

      Cheers

  41. mike@eurekaproducts.com August 12, 2013 at 11:43 pm #

    I’ll expand my thought from the above comment. The process of adding a referral manually is missing an important bit of information – the linkage to the underlying order. Currently, if you add a referral to an affiliate and you display the information at affiliates ->>>Referrals these manually-entered referrals do not have any linkage to the order, the display under the column heading “Post” is nil. This makes for very clumsy handling of the referrals a month or two later when nobody can remember what order this manual referral is connected to. Surely there must be some way to add that bit of information and the link-back to the order, just like the other referrals than come in through the automatic work flow.

    Thanks for reading my rant. It’s just that a little bit of missing information can cause a lot of work later – which is what I was trying to avoid by using your cool plugin in the first place.

    Mike

      Hi,
      “Add a referral manually” doesn’t add reference to the order, because it is not designed for that.
      You can use the API to create your own “Add manually extended”.

    I went to your download section and updated version. It appears the new version now has the “ADD” button. Still a mystery why my WP dashboard doesn’t notify me of updates automatically.

    Here’s a suggestion for improving the “ADD” referral feature: Allow the user to tie the referral to a specific Order (one that has already been created) just as if it was a referral from the start. That way, certain affiliates might be “rewarded” a referral fee at their proper rate, to a specific (existing order) manually and all the related information would populate the referral.

    Reply
  43. MIke Wells August 8, 2013 at 3:04 pm #

    There is no “ADD” button anywhere on the page Affiliates -> Referrals page as described in earlier posts. Nor do I see similar functionality on any other applicable pages to do what you suggest. I’d be happy to send you a screen shot of the page in question if you require.

    Are we talking about the same thing? Am I somehow running an earlier version even though WP does not notify me of an upgrade? Is there some configuration option that I need to enable? Or is there a bug in this code somewhere and the “ADD” button is not showing up in my environment?

    This is getting a bit frustrating, as it should be a simple chore to do what I need.

          Also, this was working before, and nothing changed during that time so i’m not sure the issue? The only thing I did change was the price of a product however that should have affected anything.

          Permalinks are set to = Post name
          Product permalink set to = costom (/shop) however it won’t change to another option when I try, not sure if that means anything.

    Further to this subject. In re-reading the documentation and considering your earlier advice, I think we have a mis-understanding. Since the coupon was claimed on the sale, but the coupon was not tied to the affiliate, there is no connection of the sale to the affiliate. And the link affiliate -> referrals does not present and orders that were not created with the appropriate connection to the affiliate.

    It appears to me that if an order was created with the proper connection, then affiliate -> referrals would allow me to change the state of the order/referral fee. This is exactly the opposite of the situation I am trying to correct. I need to create the proper connection so the order is in fact assigned to the affiliate, which it does not now.

    Hope I haven’t confused the issue further, but I think we’re at a dead end on this solution. The tool does not appear to support what needs to be done. Perhaps the only solution is to manually create another order to mirror the older one, thus creating an order with the proper connections for the affiliate.

    Antonio, I am not seeing how to do this at affiliates -> referrals. The orders were placed with the coupon code, but the affiliate did not have a connection to that coupon code at the time the order was placed. So when going to the link you suggested, those two orders do not appear. I am using Affiliates Pro v 2.2.1 and woo commerce 1.6.5.2 if that matters.

    It appears to me there is no way to give an affiliate a commission for a order once the order is entered? What am I missing.

    Thanks, MIke

      Hi Mike, what he suggests is to add the referrals manually – if you go to that section, you will see the Add button which then leads to a form where you can input details about the referrals you want to grant the affiliate. In this case, as you had not assigned the coupons to the affiliate, you would add the corresponding referral manually using that facility. New orders, assuming that the coupon is now linked to the affiliate, will produce that automatically.

    I created a coupon code for a new affiliate, but I forgot to add the coupon code attribute to the affiliate. I then received an order and the customer used the affiliate code. The customer got the discount correctly, but of course the affiliate did not get a commission registered for the sale. Is there a way I can create a commission for an affiliate after the order has been placed?
