Hi Admin!
I hope you can help us!
We are looking to set affiliate commissions based on product, but for set amounts.(Product X has $5 commission, Product Y has $10, etc.)
We cannot currently do this with your product, that we’ve been able to find.
Is there an update or work around?
We did try doing it by percentage, but the admin section rounded the percentages down. Instead of 0.1005025125628141 (the percent we needed to get the desired affiliate payout amount), it just became 0.10- which is not quite the same when dealing with a big ticket item.
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
What we can do is add a method that allows you to set fixed amounts, it will be easier to use than the odd percentages anyway 😉
Cheers
Hi Kento!
That sounds fabulous! Is this in a future release? Can we custom order it? Plug in?
Would love to hear about it!
I think the best is that I just add it to the integration plugin as an option. Maybe it will be useful for others as well. I’ll try to take care of it within the week, would that be on schedule for your needs?
Hi Kento,
Sounds exciting! Hope to see it.
I have this installed in my client’s site and we used it on her first launch last Spring. Now we create a new page on the site for the new product, affiliate referrals are coming but this time, whenever we click the Affiliates and Referrals, and click the order for certain affiliate…it brings to a 404 error page.
Before, it used to show the page with the affiliate’s referral order details.
Also, where do I get the upgrade pack for WooCommerce integration? It’s showing that I need to update but there is no login or email send to me for any new updates?
Cheers!
Hi,
you can download the latest version in: Downloads
Please update and if your error continue, please let us know.
cheers
I had a question regarding the short code [affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" /]. In the documentation it says that the attribute data can be used but I’m unclear on what the possible attributes would be? It uses the example message but that doesn’t give me any data when I use an example. Are there specific keys that it can pull in? What I’d like to be able to do is include the order number that is normally contained in the “description” of the affiliate. Also just another quick thought on a feature would be to include the Woocommerce product that the order was for so you could filter by product to see which affiliates are selling which products. Not sure if there’s already another way of doing that but just a thought!
Hi Will,
the possible values in the “data” attribute are: order_id, order_total, order_currency
Your ideas are welcome, we will study it, thanks for sharing it with us.
cheers
Great! That’s exactly what I was looking for specifically order_id.
I am interested in having affilates for numerous products many with different Affilate Percentages.. is this possible.. Also Some of my ebook Products are By Donation.. is it possible to integrate this so that people get 50% of the donation..
Lastly, the above said ebook by Donation.. 1/2 goes to Charity.. is it possible to Integrate myself as a Affilate so that 1/2 of all donations from “outside affilates” or general traffic, is marked.. Or basicly every sale of that particular ebook, beyond affilates sales, is marked so i can easily see how much to transfer monthly to the charity…
Lastly, If I have a dozen affilates does this system track them all, all their totals then all I need do is Send them their commissions manually, or can that be set up automatically in bulk or Per order..
Thanks so so so much, Ive been looking for this servie to fit my By Donation products for a long time..
Much
PLSF ck
With the Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce integration you can set rates per product, you can also set different rates per affiliate so at least part of what you describe should be covered.
The other part where you effectively share product sales with the charity would be covered by the Affiliates Products plugin.
Affiliates Pro has a section where the totals are calculated and where you can generate a file which can be used for mass payments with PayPal, or if you do manual payments, to know what amounts to pay per affiliates for a specific period.
I hope that makes it a bit more clearer but please ask if you have any additional questions. Also make sure to try out the free version before deciding 🙂
Well my feeling is the integration is already there given I can assign the coupons to the affiliates once they’re created. One thing that would be great is if there was a bulk coupon generator in affiliates so you could create the coupon code & generate it automatically while assigning it all in one step. I know bulk coupon code generation is possible because I can do it using the smart coupons plugin from woocommerce – but then I have to individually assign each coupon to the affiliate.
What I see is the piece that is missing is really the “First 3 months X% or $X off”. I think it would need to have options for the length of discount (ie X days/weeks/month or X number of recurring transactions – so if they’re being billed monthly it would automatically go until then)). Other options would be to have a “deadline” so for instance save 10% until August 31st – so any recurring billing would be reduced up to that date & then reset to full price. Would push people to book earlier perhaps (ie more savings over the long run). Of course with all of these I’m assuming people are using the subscription plugin. In my eyes this is the main drawback of this plugin is the lack of temporary coupons.
Thanks for detailing that, there is an extension which has not yet been released which is related to affiliates and coupons, it allows to reward affiliates with coupons and the bulk coupon generator for affiliates would be in line with this extension. I’ll be happy to add this feature to the extension.
Regarding the coupon expiration, the second option you mention is already available in WooCommerce OOTB – in case you weren’t aware of it, there is an Expiry date option at the bottom of the page when editing a coupon. But I think the ability to limit a coupon to X days etc. after registration is quite appealing and would give a more flexible way to reward new customers. One could even offer discounts for a period of time after having purchased a particular product. What I’m missing is an efficient visual way of presenting that to the customer: a coupon countdown. I’ve started to create a plugin which adds the limit per user based on registration date and also the countdown. If the coupon expiration date based on product purchased is also interesting, it can be added, too. I think that would even be interesting for the case of recurring payments, as every payment is essentially for a repeat purchase of the same product or service.
You’re right with the expiration date – hadn’t considered that functionality was already built in. From what you’re saying here it all sounds awesome – exited for the features coming down the pipe. If you can figure out this subscription coupon thing (ie X% off next X payments) I think you’re going to have a great plugin as a lot of people have been looking for this functionality in the subscription plugin. As for how to display a countdown on the coupon what option would be to integrate it with this plugin http://www.woothemes.com/products/limited-deals/ which is already available. It would need some customization to make the times etc all linked to the individuals’s signup date etc but it could be a starting point. Thanks for all your hard work on this plugin.
Hi Will,
I think a solution for the case you mention with subscriptions could be combining the number of times a coupon can be used per person with the ‘Recurring Fee Discount’ coupon type that is added by WooCommerce Subscriptions, but we’ll need to test that (with the plugin in development this would already be possible, we’d just have to see if it works as expected).
Regarding the Limited Deals extension, it would probably be easier to just add the option to that plugin itself. I haven’t tried it myself, but from the looks it seems it doesn’t use coupons to do it’s ‘thing’, or am I wrong there?
Many thanks for the input, it’s really valuable!
Cheers
I agree – the recurring fee discount coupon would be the way to go. You idea to add it ot the limited deals extension makes way more sense – great idea.
Perfect! Plugin is on its way to be released by the way 😉
That’s awesome! That’s very exciting to hear. Thanks for all the hard work on it!
Also just curious how long “on it’s way to be released” generally is. Obviously no rush just excited to roll this out :p
Probably in a few days 😉
Oh wow that’s way sooner than I had expected! Awesome!
Will, would you like to try out the current version? It hasn’t been released yet but I’d appreciate your feedback.
I’ll try it for sure – where can I get the plugin? Is it downloadable?
Cool, I’ll give you access to it.
For anyone interested in this plugin, it’s available now here.
First off the plugin is great – does exactly what it says it’s supposed to do. My comment is more of an extension or idea for an additional plugin with the Woocommerce integration. Essentially right now with the affiliates plugin you can assign coupons to affiliates which is great. The problem is this coupon is FOREVER. Currently there is no way to provide something like “50% off your first 3 months” in a coupon on Woocommerce. For me this is such a common way of getting people to adopt early I think it would be great to give affiliates coupons that would behave this way. I know it’s possible to do it (the variables are there but no one has done it yet). I think a separate plugin that could do this combined with affiliates would be amazing.
I think the idea is great – coupons that last for a period after a user has joined the site. Is there anything in particular you would like to see on how this relates to affiliates?
Hi Kento,
I purchased your affiliate-pro but it’s not providing me some of the features you mentioned in this message list (namely subscription – recurring payments, individual product commissions ) with woo-commerce. Do I need to buy the additional Affiliate pro woo-commerce plugin or did I purchase the wrong product?
thanks,
Gary
Hi Gary,
It would be the WooCommerce integration pack, but you don’t need to buy it in addition, as Affiliates Pro is already included with the pack. We can upgrade that, I’ll email you.
Cheers
Where can I find more info about the Method signature? Or Custom Method?
I need to create two % rates, one for the fist purchase and the other for the rest of the orders.
Hi,
you can find more info in Affiliates API Documentation

Hi~ I have installed and tested the light version of affiliate and woocommerce integration…
And I want to purchase the Pro version… I just need to know, what do I need to do with the current light version installation? to deactivate and delete?, then instal the pro?
Also I want to know after I make the purchase, where do I get the package?
Thank you
Ailin
Hi Ailin,
You would replace both the Affiliates plugin and the Light integration plugin with the Pro versions that come with the pack. The data is kept as long as you don’t activate the ‘delete data’ option before deactivating the Affiliates plugin. When you purchase a license you get access to the pack here on the site.
Cheers
Hi,
In your comparison chart it says “Affiliate links to any page”.
Under “Affiliate Area”:
http://www.itthinx.com/affiliates-plugins-feature-comparison/
Both Pro and FREE are able to do this it says on comparison chart.
How am I able to get different links to different pages?
I cannot find this?
Thanks,
Riley!
Hi,
you can use shortcode [affiliates_url]. More info in Affiliates Shortcodes Documentation.
cheers
Hey Antonio,
This doesn’t seem to be working.
What happens is it cancels out all my other [affiliates_url]. It takes note of the [/affiliates_url], but not the first [affiliates_url].
I created an affiliate area via your dashboard, and have now done my tweaks to make it look how I want.
I am now wanting to add page links to specific products!
But as mentioned, [affiliates_url]http://www.example.com/somepage[/affiliates_url] is not working. It does not read the first [affiliates_url], but does take note of the [/affiliates_url].
It also does change to the affiliates link, but cancels out all others.
I am using mystile theme from woothemes.com
Hi,
are you editing in text mode? you must do it.
If you want, you can use pastebin.com for give me the post’s text, for me to take a look.
cheers
Hey Antonio,
Is it just a matter of adding the affiliate #ID at the end of the link?
For example:
http://www.example.com/product-page?affiliates=3
If the affiliate ID is 3 of course.?
Hi, exactly. You can see in Affiliates->Manage Affiliates the links format.
cheers
Hi Guys!
Got the affiliates pro for Woo commerce.
We would like to offer our affiliates the ability to be paid by check, and would like to collect other information from the affiliates (phone number, mailing address, etc.)
How can we add these?
Thanks a lot!
Hi, you can use another plugin to collect this information.
You can see Useful Plugins
Affiliate keeps affiliate registration as simple as possible.

Kento,
Just wondering if you have released the recurring subscriptions integration yet. I will be purchasing the plugin the day it is released! Thanks
– John
Hi John, yes that’s already been added 🙂
Hi there, can’t find this in the forum, but wondering if we can allocate different referral rates per affiliate.
We have affiliate pro.
Thanks
Hi,
you can do it, editing the affiliate and adding new atribute, more info in Setting referral rates or commissions

Have you considered adding PayPal Adaptive Payments to the plugin to allow for instant affiliate payments?
Mike
Thanks for asking Mike, actually I’m considering PayPal Payments Pro – if you’d like to have a look at this thread, you would also be welcome to participate with ideas.
What I am looking for is the ability to both pay partners who have products on my site (WooCommerce) and Affiliates at the same time using PayPal Adaptive/ Chained Payments. Quite a few affiliate services are using this payment model now and it really increases the promotion rate on products when everyone sees the payments hitting their inbox right when the sales happen. I know you have the other Add On plugin here for paying Partners Commissions on products hosted on your site and I think this add on would be a great fit for it.
It’s certainly worth considering, given that refunds/chargebacks would be handled automatically on all payment receivers for a transaction, it’s an interesting alternative. Probably the main reason is that receivers will see their money sooner on their accounts. I just wonder if this wouldn’t increase PayPal’s fees substantially, based on the examples in Adaptive Payment Fee Calculation Analysis it looks to me that at least the per-transaction fee is multiplied by the number of receivers. It’s not a big deal if you have a few transactions per day, but if you have a fair amount of transactions and a lot of business comes in through affiliates, I’d say it’s one aspect to consider (in making a decision on monthly or instant payouts).
I am also be VERY interested in Paypal Adaptive because I have a client who needs instant commission payouts. Have you moved this forward to a release version, or is it in the schedule, or still in the ‘idea’ phase…? We’re looking to integrate this with the Product Vendors plugin in a marketplace environment, hopefully with minimal tweaking. 🙂
Thanks for your input on that but I’ve completely discarded the idea mainly for security reasons. Unaudited sites issuing payments automatically are a big no … even though a plugin itself were secure, it would still need the whole site audited for security so an OOTB solution isn’t really feasible IMHO.
Hi,
Is it possible to make a specific referral (commission) rate per product rather than by affiliate.
Cheers
Hi,
it’s possible, you must setup:
Affiliates > Settings
– Default referral calculation : Referral Amount Method
– Default referral calculation value : Affiliates_WC_Method::product_rates
Affiliates > WooCommerce Integration
– [x] Enable product referral rates
– Default rate : (rate must be set here or on individual products)
Products > edit a product > Product Data > Affiliates :
– Referral rate : (rate must be set here or in general with the Default rate)

Hi there,
Will this plugin allow me to give the customer who comes to my website from an Affiliate link an automatic 10% off their shopping cart. This is rather than the Affiliate getting any commission.
I am using WooCommerce.
Many thanks,
Stefan
Hi,
you can’t do it with links. You can do it with coupons.
1.- Create a woocommerce coupon with discount for customer.
2.- Assigns a coupon to an affiliate (for generate a commission when customer use this coupon).
cheers
hi Antonio,
to assign a coupon to all affiliates? I have to assign one to one?
ah! ok..
” The same coupon code can not be assigned to more than one affiliate”
http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/setting-up-affiliate-resources/coupons/
exactly, cheers
Thanks for your response.
I would like the 10% discount to be automatically added to the shopping cart when they come through the affiliate link. With the coupons, the customer needs to enter it to receive the discount.
Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks for your time!
Hi,
this is the normal use. Right now you can’t enter coupon automatically.
cheers
Hi,

Hi,
Is possible to see which website arrive references? (In affiliate area)
Thanks.
Hi Roberto,
It’s not possible.
cheers.
have buy the plugin, but it is in Spanish (I think) how can I change the language?
Hi,
the plugin and the integration are written in english, but it uses the language used in wordpress.
What wordpress language do you use?
cheers
Thanks Antonio, I have wordpress in Italian, but the plugin does not appear in Italian .. 🙁
Hi,
the italian traduction is based in spanish traduction, and it’s partial.
You can modify it in: wp-content/plugins/affiliates-pro/lib/ext/languages/affiliates-it_IT.po (for example with POEdit software)
If you update it, we appreciate if you send us the update.
cheers.
Ok Antonio, where to send? (email)
Hi,
you can send it to support at itthinx dot com.
Thank you very much !!
Hi kento, future updates are free of charge? forever? Thanks (I have not read anywhere)
Currently updates aren’t restricted in time and you will have unlimited access to the current primary version purchased for as long as it is maintained. Forever is a rather vast concept 🙂
We have implemented the Affiliates Pro WooCommerce Integration pack and have been quite happy with it.
Question: In the email notification to the affiliate is it possible to pass information about the WooCommerce transaction such as the client contact information? We are using this to track referrals for sales reps and it would be easier for them to follow up on the transactions without having to log into their affiliate page to see them.
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
You can’t pass this information in the email notification. The params you can use are:
[site_title] : Itt
[site_url] : http://itt.tuslistas.com
[affiliate_id] : The referring affiliate’s ID
[affiliate_email] : The referring affiliate’s email address
[affiliate_name] : The referring affiliate’s name
cheers
I am running 2.2.1 is that the latest affiliates pro for WooCommerce? Have there been any enhancements to the email notification params? If not, do you do custom programming to add the feature I need to the emails?
Thanks!
Hi,
in the next update, the API will be extended to handle this. When available, we can look at your specific case.
cheers
Follow on question, the affiliate dashboard shows the order result after completion as “Protected”. Is there any way to show the actual order customer name?
Thanks
It’s not possible. You need use Affiliates API, and create your own shortcode.
cheers
Hey Kento-
I noticed above you said users who were previously registered could sign up for an affiliate account through the form- but when I test this, it gives me the “error: username is already taken”. How do I get around this? We have over 400+ users on our site as it is, because we have online courses offered. So- if someone who already is registered as a user, they currently cannot sign up to be an affiliate (unless I do it manually).
Thanks for your insight!
Maeve
Hi Maeve,
They can sign up but they have to log in if they already have an account. This is how it works: if you don’t have an account on the site, you just fill out the form and the system will create a new user account which is linked to an affiliate (users and affiliates are treated as independent entities). If you have an account and try to register, it will complain about the username (or the email address when taken). To allow existing users to join the affiliate program, they would visit the page where they can join, if logged in it will show their existing data (it will complain if required data is missing). You can add a notice on the page advising existing users to log in before they try to join the affiliate program.
Cheers
Hi,
I can not find my request that I sent.
Affiliates Pro WooCommerce is compatible with WooCommerce 2.0.2?
Thanks if you want to answer.
Hi Roy,
Yes they are compatible (I think I replied to you earlier today).
Cheers
Hi, the plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.0.2?
Yes, it’s working smoothly with WC 2 and above 🙂
I am using Affiliates Pro 2.3 with Woo Commerce and do not see the new “Coupon Codes” feature for affiliates. What am I missing?
Do you know a way to offer “Affiliate Pricing” which would basically be a “Wholesale Cost” and not allow the affiliate to earn a commission on that deeply discounted price?
Thanks!
Hi,
you can create coupons editing an affiliate, and add new attribute with key “Coupons”.
Maybe if you want offer wholesale cost, you could create a coupon, and not set affiliate these users.This is just an idea.
cheers
Hey Kento-
I am switching from our old affiliate system to this new one- already purchased and installed- but wondering if there is a way to import all users from my old affiliate system (vs importing them individually)?
Let me know! Thanks!
Maeve
Hi Maeve,
Had a similar question a few days ago, please have a look at this reply.
Cheers
Hello – Is there a way to export all affiliate email addresses, or send them a message? Thank you! – Scott
Hi Scott,
Yes, you can run a query directly on the database for that:
SELECT DISTINCT email FROM wp_aff_affiliates WHERE status = 'active';An export feature for this is scheduled for development but not available yet. Please let me know if you need help with using the above.
Excellent! Thank you!
I see that there have been previous comments requesting Stripe/Subscription integration and that it was a feature that was in the works. Has this been implemented?
I am currently running a subscription site with Stripe that I would love to have affiliates for. However, it would need to have the ability to pay a commission on signups and work with the Stripe payment type.
As it stands now, if a commission is paid through Paypal I would have to fund the Paypal account to pay the commission, right?
Hi J.P.,
While having already added support for product commission rates, the part for recurring commissions which I wanted to release along with that update needs a bit more testing, but it will be made available this week.
You do not need to make commission payments through PayPal, the mass file payment generation utility that is included with the plugin can also be used to just provide the pending sums and you can make the payment either manually or through another processor.
Hi Kento,
A few questions before we commit to purchasing the affiliates pro plugin for woocommerce;
1) Is there an option to accept or reject affiliate sign ups as we want to approve all registrations manually?
2) Can the affiliate registration form be customized with additional fields such as file upload?
3) Can we lock the site down & only grant customer access if they enter an affiliate coupon code for access to the site?
I look forward to your prompt reply.
Thanks,
Nick
Hi George,
#1 I would recommend a manual sign-up process through a specific contact form then. You could add a page with a form where they can submit their request to be accepted, gather the necessary data there and if you accept a new affiliate, create the user account and link it to an affiliate account. You can easily try out the process with the free Affiliates plugin and Contact Form 7 for example (I’m not referring to the integration with Contact Form 7, that isn’t needed in this case).
#2 See this comment on how you can use a customized form. Again, this doesn’t require Affiliates Pro or Enterprise, you should try it with the free Affiliates plugin before deciding whether to use one of the premium versions.
#3 This sounds like a very specific requirement, I’m not aware of an OOTB solution for that. Have you checked the extensions on WooThemes?
I am considering purchasing the Affiliate Pro plugin, but I first want to know if I can set specific commission rates per product with this plugin connected to WooCommerce. Thanks!
Final tests are being run today before publishing the updated release that allows to do that.
It is available now with the Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce pack and the Enterprise pack. The WooCommerce integration plugin now allows to set commission rates for products.
Thank you so much!! Your work is amazing 🙂
Hi, I’d like to use Affiliates pro for Paypal but I would like to be able to use coupon codes to credit affiliate referrals. I see this feature in the Woocommerce plugin but not the Paypal one. Would something like this be available for Paypal anytime soon? Thanks.
Thanks for asking Jennifer. Actually I don’t think so, WooCommerce is just really awesome at that and already provides the facilities to manage coupon codes in a great way, I wouldn’t see the point in recreating that functionality for a plain PayPal-based solution.
Hello, i have tested an order using an affiliate id.
The problem is, when an order is processed, the affiliate gets credited instantly.
I guess they should be credited when the order process is marked “complete”. Because what if the order has been canceled. or people are just playing around ordering and just messing with the affiliate section to make money.
Is there a way to fix this, or is it included on the pro version?
please advise..thanks!
The WooCommerce integration with Affiliates Pro synchronizes the referral status with the order status automatically.
Hello,
I have a couple of pre-sales questions:
1) Has the plugin been updated to work with the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension yet?
2) When creating links to affiliates, is it possible to link to external domains and still have the affiliate sale track properly? Sometimes I run special offers on forums so the affiliate link would need to redirect out of my main site.
3) Do you have some demo URLs I can take a look at?
Thanks in advance for your help.
~Ruth
Hi Ruth,
Working on #1 which will be provided with an updated release of the integration shortly.
On #2, you don’t create links to affiliates, you create links to pages on your site that identify the referring affiliate and thus allow to track when sales are made thanks to that affiliate. As long as the affiliate links are used correctly, it doesn’t matter where they are used.
For #3 please use the free Affiliates plugin and light WooCommerce integration which you can both install directly from your WordPress admin section.
Sorry, I phrased question 2 wrong. What I need to know is that I can create a link for an affiliate that will track sales but link to a page outside of the domain I install the plugin on?
So for example, I run the site xyz.com and I have woocommerce there. But I set up an external sales page on othersite.com, using a payment button from my woocommerce installation at xyz.com. Does your plugin allow me to create a link for an affiliate to othersite.com and still credit them for that sale?
I hope that makes sense!
That would require some adjustments on the secondary site, if an affiliate link points to that site and you want to direct them to the WooCommerce site, the affiliate info would have to be ‘carried on’, technically, the affiliate ID would have to be appended to the URL that points to the WooCommerce site when an incoming affiliate link has been recognized on the secondary site.
Any news on the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension integration yet
It’s going to be released during this week 🙂
I purchased the Affiliate Pro WooCommerce Extension.
Right now it appears that all affiliates will get a base rate for all store items when an item is purchased via their affiliate link.
I want to set it so that all affiliates are limited to certain product categories and they get the base rate when an item is purchased from those categories. Can this be done?
You will be able to set rates for products with an updated version of the integration, it will be released shortly.
Hi,
I have the pro version of woocommerce affiliate with integration pack. There is a conflict with the social coupon plugin from codecanyon. http://codecanyon.net/item/social-coupon-for-wordpress/3417466
Can you help me solve this please.
Can you please give some details on the conflict please and do you have a test site where you can grant access to the back end?
I applogize for the lengthy comment, your email kept giving me a bounceback error.
I am curious if your Affiliate Pro plugin has all the functionalities I’m in need of before I purchase it.
Here is the workflow of our site:
-A new affiliate account is automatically for a customer on checkout.
-After payment, the customer is redirected to their profile page where they see their unique referral link.
-When they refer someone to make a purchase with their affiliate link, they are credited free shipping on their next transaction. So if they refer 3 customers, they get free shipping on their next 3 transactions.
-At anytime a customer can see how many impressions/referrals they have made on their profile.
So here are the core features I foresee we will need:
-Auto create new affiliate on checkout
-Display unique affiliate link and sharing buttons on profile
-Credit an affiliate after a referral purchase so when their next reoccurring transaction happens the price will be automatically deducted X amount
Please let me know if your plugin can seamlessly satisfy these functions. Feel free to email or call me anytime.
Thank you & looking forward to hearing from you!
Matt
Hi Matt,
Regarding the workflow: you’re using the Affiliates Users plugin which is creating the affiliate account – that would have been my suggestion but you were quicker 🙂 You can use the shortcodes on the user’s account page or link to a specific page if preferred where the affiliate’s details are presented. You can use Peter’s Login Redirect (see Useful Plugins) to redirect users to their account page after they log in.
For the free shipping requirement one solution would be to use a new plugin that is going to be released shortly which allows to issue coupon rewards instead of or along with normal referrals. The current development version (which is not yet publicly available) doesn’t allow to issue coupons for free shipping but I’d be happy to add that option if you want to use it.
Thanks for getting the plugins even before I got a chance to answer your questions 🙂 Please let me know if the above would help, I’d be happy to let you try it out before it is released.
Cheers
We just purchased the Affiliates Pro Integration Pack for WooCommerce as an upgrade from the free version. The Affiliate links generated by the plugin in the WordPress backend are formated as such: http://www.mysite.org?affiliates=affiliateID
WE would like the links to be as such: http://www.mysite.org/sub-page?affiliates=affiliateID
I have read how to accomplish this with shortcodes on the front-end, but this does not change the links shown for the affiliates on the back-end. How do I make sure the links on the dashboard also reflect the fact that the affiliate area is on a sub-page rather than the main page?
The links shown on the back end are more a convenience for the admin as these would not normally be displayed for the affiliates. You can add a link suggestion for your affiliates in the affiliate area and use the generic form to link to a specific page, where the affiliate ID is appended to the URL.
Hello Support- Is there a way to deactivate certain products from participating in the affiliate/referral system, maybe by category, or on a per-product basis? My client has 100 products, but there are about 10 she doesn’t want included in the affiliate program, as the profit margin isn’t that great on those products.
Also, is there a way to set referral rates unique to each product, which will override the default settings?
Thanks,
Bryan
You can limit coupons assigned to affiliates to certain products, that would be a way of limiting, or you could limit referrals to certain products by using a custom method that iterates over the products and for example checks for a flag on a product.
Just wondering if you now have this plugin working with repeat commissions for Woo’s Subscriptions extension? Would be real handy 🙂
It will be available soon, still revising the integration plugin and that is a key new feature that will be included.
Awesome, look forward to it. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Jake 🙂
Hi Kento, still wondering when you will have this plugin working with repeat commissions for Woo’s Subscriptions extension? Look forward to it!
Trying to get it ready with this week’s updated.
Awesome, look forward to it!
It wasn’t possible to have it ready with the new release from yesterday, it still needs some development but I hope to have it ready soon.

Please upgrade to the latest version, the previous version you are using is for up to WordPress 3.4.2 only.
Hi, It seems to be an old problem, but I’ve recently updated to the latest version of wordpress and I started getting this warning in class-affiliates-registration.php on line 470.
Can you help? I am using affiliates pro for woocommerce 2.2.1
Is there a newer version of the plugin which resolves the issue? If so were do I download it?
Thanks in advance
Hi Michael, the plugins are at 2.4.2, you should update – the latest version is available in the downloads section of the site.
Hi, Thanks for reply. Sorry to be a pain but I don’t have the username and password – I read in one of the earlier replies “When you place the order you have the option to create an account”, but it seems I did not and my download link has expired. Can you help? My order number was 3582. Thanks. Michael
Hi Michael, you should have received access details by now.
Thanks. All received. One last question. How do I update correctly as there was no instructions in the zip files. For now I deleted the old plugins and installed the new ones but not sure if this is the right way of doing it…
Hi,
in your “downloads” page you must have an “Affiliates Pro Readme” link to download a txt file with instructions. The correct method is:
cheers
Stupid me! of course there is a txt file with instructions 🙂
Thanks for help.
I have purchased Affiliates Pro with Woocommerce integration. Is it possible to attribute a sale to an affiliate either the sale? We have large ticket items and some were manually ordered before the use of the plugin or an order may be occasionally missed being attributed to an affiliate for various reasons.
Thanks
You mean manually adding a referral? This is in development right now and will be available hopefully within the week.
Hi!
Sorry for posting again. Just wanted to know the plugin pays the affiliate based on each item sold or a sale?
i.e. As I told I will pay affiliate a flat rate of $10 for each item. If a customer buyers 2 items, will the affiliate be payed $20 (2 items) or is he payed $10 counted as a single sale?
Hi!
Need to get clarified. Please reply ASAP. I am pretty confused about which plugin to use from you site. You have number of plugins.
1. I am using woocommerce for WordPress.
2. I need an affiliate system for my woocommerce site where every affiliate gets a flat rate of say $10 for each successful sale.
Now if an affiliate refers a new person and signs up for an affiliate link, then the one who referred should again get a flat rate of say $5. i.e. If A signs up as an affiliate and if A refers B to make a sign up as an affiliate and if B makes $10 then A should be paid $5. I don’t need percentage commissions here?
Is this possible with your plugin?
3. Do you have an affiliate link as aff_id=1 something like that or aff=name?
Also which plugin I need to purchase? Is it Affiliate pro for woocommerce or Affiliates Pro WooCommerce Integration Pack or Is it both? Can you explain what does what?
What is the best way to set up the affiliate link as http://www.abc.com/tjones rather than the provided format of – http://abc.com?associate=1
Hi Kento,
Before I purchase the plugin, I just wanted to know if this plugin fits my needs. I will ask you some questions and if you feel this plugin fulfill my requirements let me know and I will more than happy to buy.
I have purchased this theme that supports woo-commerce. http://themeforest.net/item/boutique-shop-responsive-woocommerce-theme/full_screen_preview/3311375
I have a eCommerce site that sells custom items. I need to create an affiliate network for that site. I want these features:
1. I want to give my affiliate a fixed amount for a successful PayPal payment regardless of the item value. (I don’t want the percentage based commission. I am looking for a fixed commission.)
2. I want the payment status for all the affiliates to be “pending” by default. Even if the item is purchased successfully using PayPal it should not be marked as “completed”. Because I offer money back guarantee and I need to pay the referral only after the time frame ends, like after 2 days or 10 days. (Got my point here?)
3. Can affiliate use the link not only on their own website, but also on any other medium like forums, twitter, Facebook etc.,?
4. Will affiliates have the information about the click through rates, sources from where their visitors visited the site and purchased the item etc.,?
5. Also affiliated get a fancy link like aff=username like that or its just like aff_id=3?
If you feel that these can be achieved which plugin I need to purchase from your site? (Point 1 and 2 are compulsory)
Waiting eagerly for the reply.
Regards,
Magic Blogger
#1 you can assign fixed amounts per affiliate; there is also an extension coming up that allows you to credit affiliates with a % commission on product sales
#2 yes that’s possible, although if you get a lot of referrals at some point you might consider using a payout policy that covers for refunds etc.
#3 yes
#4 some of it, see the documentation
#5 not OOTB but there’s a plugin for that
Yes, so they ca buy from my shop instead of cash payouts.
An extension for that will be released shortly.
Great 🙂
Hi,
I tried the light version before purchasing the pro. When I am logged in to wordpress and click on my own link on an external website I still gets commission! It seems wrong that you can get commission by clicking your own link.
Is it possible in pro version that the commission can be used for purchases instead of PayPal payouts?
Commissions are credited to affiliates when a visitor has come through an affiliate link, whether the affiliate may get credit when they make a purchase through their own link or not is rather part of the program policy, if you absolutely prohibit your affiliates to purchase through their own links, you will have to control it, or you can allow or even encourage them to purchase through their own links.
Regarding payouts do you mean coupons issued to affiliates?
Hi
How can I make the shortcode [affiliates_affiliate_stats] to show the product title instead of “Protected: Order – September 18, 2012 @ 05:01 PM”
How can I remove the filter (from until) and the results per page option?
Kind regards
Dominik
The shortcode isn’t capable of showing the product, you would have to retrieve the order ID from the referral and list the products in the order.
You can hide the filters and pagination by applying
display:none;but I would not do that, the results are paginated and you would hide an essential element that allows the user to view the data.Hi Kento
I am an affiliate, would this plug in work so i can track the number of click throughs from my site to the merchants. I need a plugin that gives me the data and the merchant does not have to add anything to their site.
Cheers
That’s not what it is intended for.
