What this plugin is not
It is not intended to keep track of links to other sites that you as a member of an affiliate program may have. For that, please try the Affiliate toolbox.
For the free version of Affiliates, on the login page of the plugin, when a user tries to login and fails, he will be redirected to the WordPress login page ( wp-login.php).
How to stop this redirect?
Hi, you could use this filter https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/login_redirect/
Hello, pre-sale question:
it’s possible to make general rules for affiliates like these?
5% 0-20 products sell in a month
7% 21-40 products sell in a month
10% 41-60 products sell in a month
Regards
Hi Paolo,
Thanks for considering our software! Yes, it is possible to set our system up using such a commission scheme. You would require Affiliates Pro or Affiliates Enterprise for that.
You would be using formula-based Rates and a customized plugin that implements your commission scheme based on the monthly number of product sales referred.
Our support team would help you with that if you decide to use our solution.
If you decide to give it a try, please make sure to post a support request here after your purchase and our team will help you set things up.
Cheers!
Hello, I am surprised to not see any option for changing the URL link for affiliates. All options are http://www.website.com/?affiliates=1 and the only thing that changes is the number at the end.
It would be much nicer to provide partners with a link that had their name, something like http://www.website.com/a/henry , or literally anything cleaner than ?affiliates=1
Is that possible?
Hi Matt, thanks for using our system! I think what you want is covered by an extension we provide which is documented here: http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-by-username/ – please have a look if that would be a fit.
Hello Kento.. Thank you for your job. Is there a way (from the side of the affilaiate) to keep the tracking on a vendor site where there is not shopping kart? If yes, Could you send me a link that explaines it? thank you a ton!
Hi Ronald, please have a look at http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates/setup/settings/integrations/ where you can see the different ones that the free version supports. Cheers!
Hello, I am using this plugin along with Woocommerce Integration Light. How do I set it up so that when an affiliate refers someone that purchases a subscription, that they get a commission every single month? As in, every time that the subscription order goes through, for my affiliate to get their commission?
Hi,
For this you would need to use Affiliates Pro or Affiliates Enterprise as those support commissions on recurring subscription payments. You can see details on that in these sections of the documentation so you can decide to use them:
– http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-pro/setup/settings/integrations/woocommerce/
– http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-enterprise/setup/settings/integrations/woocommerce/
Cheers
Okay I’ll purchase it now then. Yesterday I purchased the “Affiliates Permanent” plugin because I thought that is what was needed. How do I go about getting it refunded since it’s the wrong plugin?
Hi George, many thanks for your purchase! The other one has already been refunded to you.
Hello, I am creating a site with Affiliates
And I would like to add additional content to the Affiliates Dashboard page.
The problem is that if I put something on that page, it will automatically put it on all the others.
And I tried to make them seperately with shortcodes but they don’t connect with each other.
Can you help me?
Hi,
You can easily adjust things by customizing the templates – please have a look at this section in the documentation for details: http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates/api/templates/
Cheers
Hi i have use the normal affiliates with woocommerce light
i want the commission to apply only for one of my product and not all. how i can achieve that ?
Hi,
You would have to use Affiliates Pro for that.
Cheers
Hi, I’m looking at recommending this to a client. It works well for what they need. I have tested it using the Contact Form 7 integration plugin. But I’m concerned because the Contact Form 7 integration plugin hasn’t been updated in 2 years and whilst it currently works I wonder how much longer it will. Do you plan to update that plugin?
Hi TC,
Thanks for asking! Yes, we update meaningful extensions regularly and my guess is that we will be supporting the Contact Form 7 integration further on.
Cheers
Registration notifications to affiliates:
This mail contains login URL, username and password. I want to edit that mail content. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Please answer my question as soon as possible.
Hi,
You can use the notification filters documented here.
Cheers
HI admin, I’m trying to use this plugin for its “User Registration” (pay per lead) function with Memberful plugin. New user will subscribe/register via Memberful. Sadly from my end, it did track hit and visit but not referral. So I wonder if its really not working or its only not working at my end
Hi Richard,
I guess that the plugin you are using is doing it’s own thing and skips the usual actions and filters that are involved when a new user is created. In that case, it won’t be compatible.
Cheers
Hi
So Im responding for another issue and I have no clue where to submit it…honeslty your acces to support suck really really bad…I mean I have to log in to fill in a ticket…but i dont have an account…so th only option is to reset password…but I dont get one……Seriously Ive been figuring your support system out for the whole morning, this just doesnt add up at all
Anyways your recaptcha pluging is mailfunction (i also see it hasnt been updates for 3 yers??) It worked last week, than I add a reCaptcha to another form via elementor (so I copy pasted the exact V2 keys in Elementor integrations)……..and than all of a sudden the reCaptcha doesnt work anymore at the registration affilaite page. And yes yes I did everything coorect, its V2 generated multiple time new keys, cleared cache.
Currently I have set the lementor recaptcha at V3 (so other keys) and Affilaite recaptcha at v2…..still not working….
And again…make your support system more transparant, this is hugely frustrating…I mean with YITH affilaite there is a support email which get responded the same morning………………….
Hi Hugo,
The Affiliates reCAPTCHA still works correctly, although the extension’s compatibility info has not been updated, I can confirm that our tests with the latest version of WordPress show that it works fine. Of course we should update it to reflect that. The source of your problem seems to be with what you try to achieve with Elementor, if the recommended use does not work within an Elementor block, then they’re simply not compatible.
Cheers
Hi great plugin. I am aa bit confused though regarding linking a coupon-code to an affiliate: I understand that it should be possible via attributes, but I cant find it. Is that available in the free version?
Hi Hugo,
Thanks for the question, coupons are supported with Affiliates Pro and Affiliates Enterprise. You can see details in the documentation for Affiliates Pro under Coupons or for Affiliates Enterprise on Coupons. Extended features are available with the Affiliates Coupons extension which you will find documented here.
Cheers
