I purchased and installed the Affiliate Enterprise today and turned on the WooCommerce integration and all worked well. I have a couple of configuration issues that I wanted to ask about on how to set this up for my business.
1. My affiliates have different commissions based on their company history, sales, etc. So, to configure this, I’m just setting their rate by adding a referral rate attribute (so far so good).
2. When one of my sales guys recruits an affiliate, I’d like to pay him the difference between his rate and the rate of his downline, what is the best way to do this? So if he is at 25% and he refers me someone at 15%, Id like him to earn 10% on the downline sale.
3. My products are all subsription based, and I want to have a 50% rate for everyone on the initial sale, and then their normal rate on the recurring sale. What is the best way to do this? I’m not sure if a product referral rate would override the affilate referral rate or vice versa.
I know I may have to do some programming, if so, if you can tell me the hook I need, I should be able to make it work.
Hi Jim,
2.- You can use the ‘affiliates_added_affiliate’ action. This code can help you.
3.- You can set the same rate to all the subscriptions payments. But you could create an extra referral when the subscription is created/pay the first time, with the difference (50% – normal rate). Here you have Subscriptions actions.
Kind Regards,
