Hello,
I have an issue with the affiliate registration form I can’t get the captcha to show up with the form. I didn’t even now captcha was available until got an error.
cERROR: Please enter a valid CAPTCHA value.
Do I post get a captcha plugin for this to work? what do I do?
Hi,
it’s probably related to another plugin interfering. Do you have the reCaptcha plugin installed? It messes with the registration form (see also this comment).
cheers
I have Captcha plugin installed not the reCaptcha. So turn off the captcha and now the form doesn’t do anything. I added a affiliate and I don’t even know the password.
I must say this affiliate script pro sure is disappointing I’ve been setting with this plugin for 2 weeks and I still not able to use it.
So when I add an affiliate where is the password? and why does it take username? it’s not taking it.
Hi,
If a new user uses the registration form, then a wordpress user is created (an email is sent to user with password) and associated to the new affiliate.
If you add an affiliate manually (on Affiliates->Manage affiliates), you can set the username to associate this affiliates with an existing user.
cheers
I must be missing something form not working.
Does your plugin work with SSL?
Do my htaccess file have to be writble
The form is not working when I enter details and click submit nothing happens?
Hi, please give us the url.
Hi,
I’ve tried to find the information on your documentation but it’s not too clear. Does Affiliate Pro support multiple level of affiliates and commission tier?
Regards,
Bastien
Hi,
multi-tier is supported by Affiliates Enterprise.
cheers
Thank you Antonio for your answer.
One last thing I’d like to ask. Is it possible to have paid memberships to give affiliates a greater commission?
Regards,
Bastien
Hi,
to have paid memberships, please have a look to Groups Woocommerce.
To define different commission according to affiliate’s group you can use Affiliates Groups – Custom Method.
cheers
I believe this will work but I want to run it by you first.
We have a client that wants to set up affiliates that organizations can use for fund raising. They want to track sales to each member of the organization. To do this I can set up an affiliate for the organization and then set up a unique coupon code for each member of the organization.
This would credit the sale to the organization and allow us to see who is making the sale. Correct?
It sounds like a match but even the free versions would be sufficient for this unless the coupons are really needed.
A big thing for them is to be able to track which individual is getting the referral from within each affiliate. The coupons seems to be an easy way to set this up.
I guess it is nice if the free version does this but we like to support developers by purchasing when we can.
This looks like a nice fit for what we are wanting to do. Thanks for your work and help.
Many thanks Alex, I appreciate that a lot. It helps us to develop useful stuff and thus it helps those who use it 🙂
I’ve just started having users register as affiliates and have noted two issues and wondering if I can get some guidance.
1) Affiliates purchasing for themselves via links using their own code are receiving a referral hit for their own purchases–so technically it’s a way for anyone signing up as an affiliate to get an immediate discount on an item by however much the affiliate rate is. Is there a way to disable this? It’s not a HUGE issue, but it is annoying for signed-in affiliates to get an automatic indirect discount via the affiliate program.
2) A larger bug: When an affiliate made a purchase via our shop recently, they were credited TWICE for the referral, evidenced by 2 e-mail notifications and a record in the referral log. They only made 1 purchase, so any idea why this happened?
Thanks.
Hi,
1) You can use Affiliates Excluded.
2) Please, be sure you have not checked “Allow duplicate referrals” on Affiliates->Options.
cheers
Thanks, I’ve downloaded the plugin. As for the duplicate referrals–I had it checked before but turned it off now. Hopefully that will solve the problem. What is the purpose of that option, then?
Hi,
With this option gives greater freedom in developing integrations.
cheers
Bug:: Same problem i got. When an affiliate made a purchase the referral got duplicated 4 times, the reason I found is customer took 4 attempt to complete the order, the status was 3 times pending and in 4th time it completed…. the plugin you have mentioned affiliate-excluded url above is not available… the 2nd option above mentioned i have checked … 2) be sure you have not checked “Allow duplicate referrals” on Affiliates->Options…. pls advice.
Hi Huzaifa, what you describe is to be expected and there’s nothing wrong with it. Those pending orders and referrals wouldn’t affect the Totals anyhow as long as they stay that way. The option on duplicate referrals does not apply to those as these are different orders.
Thank you so much for you response.
I want if a customer has order status=completed then only it should be capture as 1 referral. But it is not showing that way, even the order status is pending or failed, it counts as a referral and shows in the total. Pls advice how to go about it?
You’re very welcome. Please have a look at the Totals section in the documentation where you will see how this works. Only accepted referrals should be included when producing the totals for affiliate payouts. This excludes any referrals from ineligible orders.
The error message has finally disappeared: deactivated and then activated Affiliates Pro, Woocommerce Integration and Woocommerce itself.
perfect 😉
Hi Kento and Antonio,
The plugin is awesome!!!
It is doing exactly what is advertised. Its just great.
I have a a question however, I will create a Btcoin affiliate site, so, instead of the paypal email attribute , I want a Bitcoin address attribute for my affiliates, where they can input the bitcoin address (Bitcoin addresses are alpha numeric charsets)
Is there a way to create a new attribute or I can just rename the paypal email in the source code to Bitcoin Address option.
Thanks,
you could use Affiliates Extra Fields and add a Btcoin field.
cheers
If I use this plugin, will the affiliate see the field in his affiliate profile page and able to edit it.
Users can edit these new fields in their user profile.
cheers
The folder name is affiliates-pro.
After manually updating to version 2.4.2 I get this error message in the admin panel: Affiliates WooCommerce Integration plugin requires an appropriate Affiliates plugin to be activated. WooCommerce integration pack is v. 1.3.4. Tried to deactivate and activate all plugins (incl. WooCommerce) to no avail. Previous version worked OK. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi,
please check if your Affiliates folder has the correct name (affiliates or affiliates-pro or affiliates-enterprise)
Hi, Kento and Antonio!
Your plugins is great!
It’s just pre purchase question:
I can’t find the information regarding differences between Pro and Enterprise versions (except multi-tier levels). Could you please explain What are their main differences? Or maybe you have some kind of comparison table?
Regards, Vitaly
Hi,
Affiliates Enterprise supports all features of Affiliates Pro, comes with all available integrations and supports unlimited tiers. In this page you have a list of integrations that includes.
cheers
Hi,
I recently purchased Affiliates Pro for woocommerce, and I have to say that I’m really, really confused. I’m doing this for my company as the on-board tech person, but I’ve got little experience doing more than running a straight woocommerce shop–so it’s my first time doing affiliate stuff.
Is there any sort of read-me for dummies? I’m not entirely sure what the difference between an affiliate and a referral is, I’m not sure how affiliates can link to specific products with their ID, and I’ve only managed to figure out how to set up things like a default rate after much hunting and pecking.
The wiki and videos have been practically useless for someone new to this aspect of e-commerce, so do you have anything a bit more ‘dumbed down’?
Hi Courtney, the first place to start would be the documentation pages. An affiliate is usually a person or an organization that links to the site where the affiliate system is installed. When a customer who has been referred by an affiliate makes a purchase on the site, the system records a referral which reflects the commission amount granted to the affiliate. Take the time to read through the documentation, it’s well worth it as you will discover very useful features that allow you to set up a very flexible affiliate program for the site.
As I mentioned, I read through the very documentation you linked–it was easy to find, which was helpful, but the CONTENT was not particularly helpful for beginners, because it doesn’t cover the most basic things like what an affiliate is or what a referral is, or my question which was: how can an affiliate link to a specific product? The affiliates area page only gives a generic link to the site like “http://webshop.com?=affiliate1”; will the same work with “http://webshop.com/product-a?=affiliate1”? This isn’t clear from the plugin’s affiliate area page, nor was I able to tell from the documentation.
You can link to any page like that and there is a section explaining this clearly: Affiliate Links.
I’m afraid that isn’t clear at all–that seems to suggest that I have to embed the shortcode to generate an affiliate link in every single page I want there to be an affiliate link for, which seems…rather roundabout. Is there not some static affiliate link, as I asked?
It would be far easier to just remind affiliates that all they need to do for an affiliate link on their personal websites is append their ID to the end of a product URL. Is that not possible?
All of the ‘affiliate link’ language is buried in talk of shortcodes and banner generation on my website–I’ll have to put explanatory language on the affiliate area page now to instruct people how to find their own affiliate link.
No, it doesn’t suggest that at all. It means that you can construct a link to any page using the shortcode. You can also instruct your affiliates that they can link to any page on your site by appending the affiliate parameter with their id.
I’m also not wild about having some text box sitting there for everyone to see, affiliate or not, saying “Your affiliate link: [link shows up here]”. Is there not just some blanket way of formatting URLs that I can instruct affiliates to do? Or is everything generated dynamically? I don’t really want to have to ask my affiliates to come back every single time they need to find a new link…
I’ve tried embedding the code, and while it spits out something useful, it leaves a huge eyesore for anyone not logged in with raw code just sitting there that isn’t even useful (as the code tacked on to the end of the product is just “affiliate-ID” if you’re not logged in as an affiliate.
Is there any way to make the affiliate code ONLY show up to logged-in affiliates? If not, I’m just going to stick to telling affiliates how to code everything, since it’s fairly simple.
Yes, the [affiliates_is_affiliate] shortcode is used for that. See http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/shortcodes/ for details. If you post how you are using the shortcodes, we can help you improve them if needed.
Yes I do own the WooCommerce Subscriptions which is the reason I was looking at the Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration.
One more concern: With the Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration can I pick a particular Subscriptions product and pay out fixed commission with Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration?
Hi,
You can set different commissions for each product. But always in percentages, not fixed amount (you can solve it by calculating the percentage)
If you set a product rate (for example: 0.15), this is used in the beginning and recurring payments (you can not specify different percentage for fees).
Can the affiliate pro now track subscription plans with woocommerce and payout fixed rate to affiliate on a monthly base?
hi,
you need Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration + WooCommerce Subscriptions, referrals on recurring payments are credited to the affiliate who referred the initial order.
Hi,
Thanks. Do we need to do anything to use it? Is it automatic with no settings?
The plugin looks like it would work for someone who does strictly wholesale, but we can’t lose the affiliate link tracking for the retail side. It looks like we are back to creating two accounts for an affiliate.
The ideal fix would be to have the affiliate plugin track retail and wholesale separately so that the affiliates and Coupons plugin functionality isn’t lost.
Thanks
Hi,
the plugin works automatically.
if the customer is a wholesaler, then the referrals is registered if it is applicable. If the customer is not a wholesaler, then the referral is not saved(or save to Direct if this option is enable).
Hi – Thanks for the link. Can you explain how it works? I don’t see any options within Woocommerce or the wholesale plugin to utilize it.
We’ve been able to achieve the same functionality as the link by creating two accounts (one for coupons, one for affiliate codes). The ideal solution would be to allow tracking of both affiliate links and coupon codes at different rates within the same account. The typical scenario would be, selling to store at wholsave, and also driving traffic via affiliate links. Both need to be tracked at different commission rates and separated.
Thanks
Hi,
the plugin filter the commissions. An affiliate only get commission if the customer is a wholesaler.
If you need different commissions, then your solution is the correct.
Hi Antonio – The wholesale plugin is a commercial product so I can’t upload it, but if you send me your email I can setup a login for you to check it out. Thanks

Hi,
you can send us dashboard admin access to support at itthinx dot com.
cheers
Hi,
you have available an integration with Woocommerce Wholesale Pricing here.
Only if the customer is a wholesale then the affiliate get commissions.
cheers
Hi,
Would it be possible to allow the same affiliate to be tracked for only wholesale and retain commissions? We’re using the Woocommerce wholesale plugin and only need the affiliates getting tracked and commissions for teh wholesale sales and not the retail. Thanks
Hi,
Can you send us a copy of the plugin to have a look?
I purchased the Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce plug-in and I need to upgrade, yet in my downloads section, only the plug-in for Affiliates for WooCommerce is there, not the Pro version. Please advise.
Hi,
in this case, inside the file, you have both plugins, you must unzip this.
I am using the following shortcode to display the referrals that have occurred.
[affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" /]
I get a nice list of all the orders allocated to each affiliate.
The issue is that all the orders are labeled beveiligd. (that’s dutch for secure) When you click on it you get a page 404.
How can i make the details on the list visible ?
There is https://github.com/itthinx/affiliates-woocommerce-views – I suppose what you get is the column for the post which in this case should rather be hidden.
Hi Kento, Thank you that did what i wanted it too.
problem with woocommerce – 2.0.14 – the pro and affiliate plugin all report this error:
The Affiliates WooCommerce Integration plugin requires the WooCommerce plugin to be activated.
Although it is already installed and activated…
Hi,
That should not happen. You can send us dashboard admin access to support at itthinx dot com, and we’ll have a look.
cheers
Hi itthinx team,
My client is wondering if we can setup certain period of time before the affiliate can withdraw their earnings just in case the product is returned? Maybe 2-3 weeks.
I’ve review your demo video and didn’t see this feature.
Let me know soon.
Thank you,
Ailene
P.S. I’ve send this message to itthinx@itthinx.com and it’s returning back.
Hi,
you can control this through the states.
By default you can set “pending” state and for example once a week you can update the referral’s states to “accepted”.
cheers
Hi Antonio,
Thank you for the information.
I already purchase and installed affiliate pro + woocommerce integration to our site.
Upon setting up the plugin, I know that the plugin works with the paypal mass payment. But I’m wondering is there a settings that affiliates can withdraw their own earnings instead of doing the mass payment thru paypal?
Let me know.
Thank you
Hi,
You can use this file to pay by another system (eg bank transfer).
You can also manually generate coupons and pay affiliates via coupons.
Hi there,
I’m wondering as to the compatibility of this with older WooCommerce plugins – I’m currently running WooCommerce 1.6 on a site, and wonder if this will still work, and then, when we upgrade to the latest version of WC, if that will cause any problems.
Thanks
Laurence
It should still work with both but I would switch to the latest WooCommerce as soon as possible. In any case, make sure to give the free versions a try first.
Hi there,
I’m interested in the Pro or Enterprise version. Enterprise is with multi tier levels so affiliates can bring new affiliates and earn on their commisson, right? is it possible to upgrade from Pro to Enterprise if I want to do that later on?
Is there a translation for German language available? or can it be translated with like localize plugin?
Thx for your feedback,
Thomas
Hi,
Enterprise version support multi tier levels.
You can upgrade from Pro to Enterprise when you want, no data will be lost (when you have pro version, you have a coupon pro2enterprise ( 50% discount ) to upgrade).
Right now there isn’t German translation, but you can easily create a .po file.
cheers
I added light integration plugin and it is not working
Hi,
if you want you can send us dashboard admin access to support at itthinx dot com, and we’ll have a look (please indicate this comment in the email).
I am using ready ecommerce
Hi,
if you want generate commissions when a customer makes a purchase, you need Affiliates Ready Light Integration.
cheers
I have affiliate Pro and is my Theme is ready ecommerce and I setup the commision but it is not working. Can you help.
Hi,
what ecommerce system are you using? (Woocommerce/Jigoshop/TheCartPress….)
I must be doing something wrong in setup because everything works BUT the affiliate is not getting anything more than $0 credit but the system is set up for 30%. After checkout should they be forced to a certain page for this work and if so is there coding I need to put into that?
Hi,
Do you have set the referral rate in Affiliates->Woocommerce Integration?
I don’t have an option under Affiliates -> “Woocommerce Integration” … Mine is Affiliates ->Settings which is where I add the percentage.
There is actually no “woocommerce integration” button under Affiliates.
I you want generate commissions when a customer purchase anything, you need Affiliates Woocommerce Integration Light or Affiliates Pro Woocommerce Integration.
I have Affiliates Pro
Hi,
if you only need a general rate, if you set in Affiliates->Settings Referral Rate to 0.3 it must work.
If it doesn’t work, you can send us dashboard admin access to support at itthinx dot com, and we’ll have a look.
cheers
Thank you, finally got it to work. I deleted and reuploaded. Tested and it worked great. Now the question I have is, what is the affiliate sign-up page? Do they have a dashboard where I can give them images to use?
Got it to work, found your short codes 🙂 Thank you. Maybe on last question, can I have the affiliate links SEO friendly?
Hi,
please take a look to this conversation.
If you want use username instead of affiliate_id, you have Affiliates by Username plugin.
In “Affiliates Area” page they can see their personal links to share, commissions, etc … you can add banners here.
You can generate this page in Affiliates->Options->Page Generation.
You have been so much help today. I almost have it all set up. I think last question … how do I set it up so that I can approve registration rather than it be automatic. I don’t want to get just anyone using this.
Hi,
you can close affiliates registration (in Affiliates->Options) and create affiliates manually (using “username” in Affiliates->Manage Affiliates->New Affiliate).
I am looking to buy your Affiliate system, but have had a lot of trouble with fraud in the past and it got so bad I had to completely turn it off. I need a system that can automatically deny commissions if the one buying is a pre-existing customer based on a match to any of the 3: IP address, e-mail, and wordpress account (we don’t use full names so just those three criteria). I see “Affiliates Excluded” is a great step in that direction as well as cancelling commissions when order status goes to cancelled/failed…. If it does not come with such a feature, would it be possible to pay you to get it added?
Hi Andrew,
There are even more options that one could consider, but with the 3 you mention it would already be very restricting. We can discuss extending that plugin to include those it doesn’t cover (it already considers user accounts and matching emails between the user and the affiliate).
Hello, is it possible to remove the commision if the referrer is the same as the user who placed an order?
Hi,
you can do it with Affiliates Excluded.
Thanks alot, I’ve been trying to customize the plugin and it gives me a monster headache, you saved my day. Cheers!
Hey I have a question. Does affiliate pro allow for you to show genealogy? Meaning that if I sign up an affiliate and that affiliate signs up another affiliate, will i be able to track and assign sales percentages per affiliate who falls within my genealogy tree?
Hi,
you can get a multi-tier system with the Enterprise version.
My admin panel keeps telling me there is an update to Affiliates Pro and Affiliates Woocommerce Integration. How do I go about getting the update. I paid for both of these products and I would like to be emailed a link to the update or instructions on how to access it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Danette,
You have the latest versions in the Downloads section.
Thank you Kento, so in other words, in order to install update you have to download and install the whole plug-in again?
Yes, what you do is replace the old version with the new one. We’re working on making the process automatic for the system, but it’s not ready yet.
Hi,
I have installed latest version of Affiliate Pro 2.41 and noticed that 2 new pages have appeared. Affiliate scout check and affiliate seeking. Can you please provide any documentation where i can learn how to use this pages.
Thanks
These pages have not been created by the plugin. The only page the plugin creates on demand (and not automatically) is the standard affiliate area which you get when you press the Generate button under Affiliates > Options.
Hi, we are about to install a shop (not yet decided if woocommerce or jigoshop) and people (affiliates) will send their customers to our shop to buy products. These should register “saying” who send them and those should get a commision on every sale done by “their” customers. Would that be possible? No link, some of the affiliates will not even have a homepage, only email. No tiers/levels.
Thanks Joachim
Hi,
you can use coupons for this purpose. For example:
– You create a coupon in woocommerce “antonio10”
– You assign this coupon to an affiliate.
– When affiliate “A” shares this coupon, and user “B” uses it in the purchase, affiliate “A” gets the commission.
cheers
Hi,
Will the pro version support different level of commission pay? i.e., sales of 1k and below gets 10% and >1k and <=2k gets 11%.
Thanks,
Hi,
you can create your own custom method to calculate commissions. This conversation can help you.
cheers
We’re busy exploring affiliate systems for WordPress and would like to know what different is there between the lite version on WP, and the pro version?
Hope to hear from you soon,
There’s a minimum set on the Feature Comparison page – minimum set because not all the differences are mentioned there, but it covers a decent amount of them 🙂
Hey there – I have some pre-sale questions about this suite of WC Affiliate Pro plugins…
– Can the affiliate be tied to the Add to Cart link (the actual product) instead of working through a banner ad/text ad that people click on?
– Can the affiliate and commission rate be set through the custom meta fields/values? So something like “wc-affiliate” for the key, which would be the username and “10” which would be the value for the commission rate (10% in this example).
– Finally, can this plugin also work in conjunction with PayPal Payments Advanced (http://docs.woothemes.com/document/paypal-payments-advanced/)?
Hope to hear from you!
Hi Mike,
Yes you can link to products directly, you can try that out with any of the Affiliates plugins – see the Documentation for more on that.
Commission rates are set on the affiliate entity rather than the user entity (which is optionally related to the affiliate).
The plugin works with any payment processor for WooCommerce, it doesn’t rely on those but rather the way WooCommerce handles orders.
Cheers!
Hi Kento,
Is it possible to do a tiered affiliate commissions structure, eg:
1-9 sales: Your commission rate is 30%
10-19 sales: Your commission rate is 40%
20+ sales: Your commission rate is 50%
Appreciate your feedback. Currently using the free version and light woo integration, if it’s possible I’ll upgrade straight away.
Hi Josh,
you can use Affiliates API and create your own custom referral method.
In your case function “custom_method” would be:
public static function custom_method( $affiliate_id = null, $parameters = null ) {
$result = ‘0’;
if ( isset( $parameters[‘post_id’] ) ) {
$affiliate_id = $parameters[‘affiliate_ids’][0];
$referrals = affiliates_get_affiliate_referrals( $affiliate_id );
if ($referrals < 10) {
$commission = 0.3;
} else if ($referrals < 20) {
$commission = 0.4;
} else {
$commission = 0.5;
}
$result = bcmul( $commission, $parameters['base_amount'], 2 );
}
return $result;
}
cheers
Antonio.. you’re a bloody legend 😀
Thank you! Saved me a bunch of time for sure.
I’m glad 😉
My Inquiry is about Affiliates Pro for Woocommerce. Sorry I forgot to mention the whole name of plugin. Thanks!
Ismael
No problem 🙂 It’s the same here, the basis is Affiliates Pro which is common for all the integrations.
A developer setup Affiliate pro on my elearning site, selling video tutorials as a way to use it for commission sales on site products for teachers, as well as for referral affiliates.
He abandoned the projects before setting it up or explaining it. Does this even work as a “commission type” program to give user A commission on all sales of PRODUCT X? Thank you.
Hi Gabby, for this case it would rather be the Affiliates Products extension.
I’m recently using affiliates pro and woocommerce, I’m testing the process of create a coupon assigned to an affiliate, the problem is that purchases are not assigned to the affiliate with the coupon assigned but direct affiliate, the affiliate created don’t receive the referral, only appears in “direct”.
Best
Hi Kento,
We had customer try to buy from us and when inputting their details and clicking buy now, the following error appeared:
Fatal error: Class ‘woocommerce_order’ not found in /home/nickyzee/public_html/2for1wednesdays.com.au/wp-content/plugins/affiliates-woocommerce/class-affiliates-wc-method.php on line 2
It did not allow the customer to purchase. Please advise, thank you.
It seems that the version of the integration plugin you are using is not up-to-date. Please download the latest version from the Downloads section.
Hi Kento,
I want to buy one of your product : Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce. Question first is, can I also make affiliates recruitment payment?
Example :
I have store using woocommerce, I want to paid affiliates who selling item from my ecommerce website. (that is normal)
Also I want to PAY affiliates who refer friends to become affiliates at my website. So at the same time, I can have many affiliates because affiliates also recruit affiliates and I pay them and automatically in the system show this affiliates recruit how many affiliates. Did you provide this system ? If not what your suggest, maybe you have any other product that suit me well.
Second question, did you provide widget system like amazon ?so affiliates can put the widget and display product from my ecommerce website, and it change everytime refresh.
I really interested to buy your affiliates pro, and I wonder which one suit me well..sorry for my english.
(this also has been sent to your email)
Hi Moshed,
There is an option that you could use directly to record a referral when an affiliate signs up and has been referred by another one, see the post Recording Sign-Up Referrals here. Please try it out using the free Affiliates plugin and WooCommerce integration light before purchasing.
Regarding the widget, that doesn’t exist yet but it sounds like a great idea 🙂
Hi Kento and team, Additionally, can you use URL Coupons plugin (http://www.woothemes.com/products/url-coupons/) to work alongside the affiliate plugin?
So that We can create a discount coupon code using the woo commerce coupon plugin and assign it to an affiliate’s unique link?
So that the customer who clicks affiliate link will automatically be given the discount & affiliate can get a commission for the referred sale?? Please advise ASAP.
Thanks,
You can already assign a coupon to an affiliate, only the automatic part is what would be missing. Certainly a very worthy feature!
Hi Kento and Team,
Can a discount code be embedded in affiliates unique link?
Hi Daniel, let’s say “almost” because I’m looking at throwing out an extension that can 😉
Perfect plugin , i’m use woocomerco too . It working fine in my site . Thank antonio!
I see several comments that indicate the plugin works with recurring payments and the Subscriptions extension. My question is how does that functionality work with paying commission on recurring payments?
Is commission ongoing for every recurring payment installment as long as the subscription exists OR is commission payout length configurable some how in terms of time or number of recurring payments?
It can be limited to up to so many days, here’s a screenshot of the option: http://www.itthinx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2013-06-14-at-11.02.55-PM.png
Hi,
I just wanna ask if the $59 is one off payment and there’s no renewal fee on the software after purchased. Our clients is asking about this so he can decide whether to integrate this plugin or not. Also, what are the payout options inside affiliates pro aside from paypal.
Thanks!
Ismael
Hi,
please take a look to this comment.
cheers
Ok thanks!
I had a quick question about the affiliate “attributes” and the way the plugin integrates with the woocommerce subscription plugin. Basically right now you can setup a custom referral amount. What I’m wondering is if it’s possible to setup a custom recurring referral limit/timeout so that the individual rate overrides the one set under the woocommerce integration. The reason I’m asking this is because there may be different rates for different affiliates (which you can currently set) but currently there’s no way to individually change the recurring limit/timeout. The situation I’m in is that I have basically two classes of affiliates – those that get a higher commission for a short period of time and those that get a lower commission for a longer period of time. Hopefully that makes sense.
Hi Will,
sorry, it’s not possible.
cheers
Hi Kento,
We are a customer of yours with the Affiliate Pro plugin.
We are having trouble setting the plugin up to reward affiliates with commission via an affiliates unique affiliate link.
The plugin identifies the affiliates \’Visitors\’ & \’Hits\’ stats, but does not credit affiliate with \’Referrals\’ when customer purchases product via affiliates link.
It recognises purchases made via an affiliate link as \’Direct\’ when I had the \’Store direct referrals\’ checked.
I have set up the \’Default referral calculation\’ (referral rate) successfully.
Basically, When a user signs up as an affiliate, they are given a special unique affiliate code. This is all working. I want the affiliate to be able to get traffic through their affiliate link, and if a customer makes a purchase, they (affiliate) are rewarded with .2 (20%) of the purchase price as a referral commission.
What have i done wrong here?
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi,
try this comment.
if it does not solve the problem, you can send us login access to support at itthinx dot com, and we can take a look.
cheers
Hi Antonio, I have set this up & will test soon.. One other question.. does the default referral rate .2 (20%) cancel itself out if an affiliate has his/her own attributes of a different referral amount of $40?
Hi,
affiliates attributes override the other options. In this case, this affiliate would take $40 commission.

This plugin is sounding amazing so far. One question before I purchase though. Does it work with Woocommerce Extension Product Retailers? Most of my products ar being bought offsite. So multiple carts are involved. All of which are Woocommerce powered.
Maybe a list of compatible woo extension? That would be nice.
Thank you and I look forward to using your Plugin.
Hi,
as long as the product is sold on your site, affiliates get their commission for the orders, but if it’s sold on the retailer’s site, that won’t result in commissions being recorded for the referrer.
cheers
Hi, is it possible to use a wordpress installation running on a dedicated domain only for the affiliate program, and manage different websites that I own and that all websites use a shared shopping cart running on another domain? I.e. Affiliate site refers to site A, and the visitor clicks on a “add to cart” on site A and is redirected to Cart.ShopXYZ.com, and place his order there. The thank you page is Cart.ShopXYZ.com/thankyou . The affiliate program runs on Affiliate.mysite.com . Is it possible to use Affiliate program this way considering that site A, Cart.ShopXYZ.com and Affiliate.mysite.com are my own websites ?
Using WooCommerce?
Yes!
The first thing I would try to figure out is how to use WooCommerce as a solution where you want to ‘share’ the shopping cart across domains. You could then use a similar approach as to what has been mentioned here.
