Download the free Affiliates WP e-Commerce Integration for Affiliates, Affiliates Pro or Affiliates Enterprise.

Purchase a license for Affiliates Pro.

Demo

The following video is a demonstration of the Affiliates plugins using Affiliates Pro.

The video shows three main interactions for customers, admins and affiliates:

how a customer makes a purchase through an affiliate link
how an admin sees referrals and relates them to orders
and how an affiliate sees an overview of his performance

In addition to what is shown in the video, all features of the Affiliates Pro plugin are available.

Note: Although the video was recorded with Affiliates Pro for Jigoshop, it also applies to Affiliates Pro for WP e-Commerce.

Documentation

  Hi Ghina,
  really there isn’t an integration with a concrete booking plugin. But if you use a booking plugin based in woocommerce it should work fine.

      Not really, I don’t think that a plugin by itself would be a solution, you’re looking for something that constitutes a network and that would require a lot of customization (unless there is something out there that provides it OOTB).

I am currently using Joomla with Virtumart and its affiliate program however we getting ready to update our site and use wordpress with woocommerce.

Are the features pretty much the same on both affiliate programs? Also I sell subscriptions and sometime I might sell 2 subscriptions or more in 1 order is there a way to pay a commission to my affiliates per subscription instead of just on the order itself?

  Hi,
  
  I can’t tell whether the features are the same or similar as I’m not familiar with their system, but you can try out the free version and the integration for WP e-Commerce can be installed directly from your WordPress dashboard, too.
  
  Regarding the subscriptions, the commissions are per order. If you use WooCommerce, there are options to handle subscriptions and commissions on recurring payments but that requires Affiliates Pro and the advanced integration for WooCommerce.

Is there just a one time charge for the plug-in or Are there any additional transaction fees?

Hi,
I would like to know how the affiliate id is captured when coming from a site on which the referral has clicked on the affiliate link.
My problem is the following:
– referral clicks on link: http://www…?affiliate=5
– hit is registered in wp admin
– as soon as referral goes on with shopping, the id is lost
– once a purchase is done, it is not anymore referred to the affiliate 5, but to a direct purchase.
I would like to see where this information gets lost.
Any hint?
cheers

    Hi Antonio,
    
    Thanks for your quick answer.
    Ok, I can see that the Cookie is created and found the spot in wp-init.php.
    And that’s where it is recorded as a hit.
    But it is not used anymore after that.
    I tried to see if “class-affiliates-service.php” is called at checkout, but it doesn’t happen.
    Our page is http://www.yogapass.com.au.
    Maybe we missed to activate something in the back-end…

        If you create a test site, you can try to deactivate all plugins except the necessary ones > test > enable one by one > test
        In this test site we can help you to find the conflict.

Hi guys. Good looking plugin so far but does this work with Woo Commerce subscriptions? I purchased the regular affiliate plugin AND the Woo Commerce integration tool. But my numbers have extra digits on them. For example, $50 referrals showing as $500 and sales figures in 6 digits after just a couple of months. (I wish). Does it just not work with subscription products?

  Hi Larry, this sounds rather like your referral rate is set incorrectly. The rate that you indicate under Affiliates > Settings should for example be 0.10 if you want to grant 10% commissions.

        Thank you for the coupon. Got it loaded. I have loaded 15 affiliates and linked them. I go to the first one (top) and can see they are entered correctly. Can see the different levels. I did a test client and purchased a product. The refferred affiliate got a commission but the 3 tiers above him did not show a earnings. I have read all your instructions and tried several settings but no luck in getting it to work.What am I doing wrong. My programmer can’t figure it out as well.

I am using WP eCommerce 3.8.11. If I purchase the Affiliates WP e-Commerce Integration Pack will this allow me to set rates per product? I know I can set a rate per affiliate but I want the rate based on each item not the total of the order.

  Not OOTB but there is Affiliates Product Rates Skeleton which can be used to derive a version for WP e-Commerce. Note that this requires a developer who is experienced with WP e-Commerce, unless you want to hire someone to do that, I would not recommend it (nor should you purchase Affiliates Pro unless you are prepared for the additional cost and work it involves).

How can i set the two commission for different tier? for example, Person A is an affiliate. Person A sends Person B to the site. Person B becomes an affiliate too. Person B referes Person C who buys a product.

In the normal scenerio Person B will receive a commission for referring the sale.

In the tier affiliate model Person B still receives the commission but Person A also receives a small commission since Person A originally referred person B to this site.

How to set the commission in the admin panel?

Some of the products in my site are priced at $0. Obviously those are the most popular ones. The purchase flow is the same regardless of the (0) price.
How can I avoid purchases at $0 from creating referral notifications?
How can I prevent those purchases from being regarded as referrals altogether?

  You can’t really avoid that, you could uncheck the Store direct referrals option and reduce the number of referrals created when no affiliate is creditable with the purchase though.

I am not sure if we are on the same page. After someone registers, I want them to be re-directed to a page which will have a Salesforce.com form embedded. This form page will also use https because I need to collect their tax id/social. I will have an email that goes out with a w-9 form attached.

Is there a way to collect more data using your short code than just name and email?

Reply
1. kento
  
  July 23, 2012
  
  Oh I see, the shortcode is ok but the redirect won’t happen because of headers already having been sent. An update will add a Javascript redirect alternative for that case.
  
  The registration form fields are fixed but you can allow additional user fields using for example the Profile Builder plugin mentioned on the Useful Plugins page.

  This is most certainly caused by another plugin that interferes. The Affiliates plugin’s registration form does not require a password to be entered. I recommend you revise your active plugins for one that causes this.
