Hi,
I have Affiliates Pro plugin and the Affiliates Products plugin. I need to set a specific amount (i.e. $8) for a product, rather than a specific % (i.e. 0.73824%). Is this possible and if not, how can I achieve it programatically?
This is quite urgent, so any help will be appreciated. I couldn’t find any information on the forum or in the docs regarding this. The closest was this thread which is quite old:

I found the “Affiliates_WC_Method::product_rates method”
Also in the Affiliates Pro > WooCommerce Integration under the section “Product rates” there is the following text:
“Important : Note that you must choose the Affiliates_WC_Method::product_rates method under Affiliates > Settings > Commissions for product rates to be applied in general, or specify that method as an attribute for individual affiliates – otherwise the product rates will not apply.”
What is the “Affiliates_WC_Method::product_rates method”? Under the Affiliates > Settings > Commissions I only see:
None, Referral Amount, Referral Amount Method, Referral Rate – there is no option for “Product Rates”?
Thanks,
Smilyan
Oh I see, is it possible that I get a refund then? And regarding the amount per product (this is a side question), what’s stopping you from making this a core functionality in the pro version?
Thanks,
Smilyan
Hi,
Yes sure, we’ll proceed to refund the order for Affiliates Products right away. Regarding your suggestion, indeed that is already part of the new major release we are preparing. We can give you early access to it. I will forward the new version of Affiliates Pro and its advanced WooCommerce integration to you directly so you can test them. You will see that you can set rates or commission amounts per product very easily.
Cheers
Hi Smilyan,
The Affiliates Products functionality is the opposite from the normal affiliates routine. With Affiliates Products you can assign affiliates to products. Whenever a product is bought, the assigned affiliate will be granted with a referral and a commission based on the referral rate set for that product under Affiliates Products settings.
Cheers,
George
Also, do I even need the Affiliate Products plugin to do this? I bought it, but I can’t see it adding any more functionality compared to before I installed it. Maybe I’m wrong, but is it needed for this functionality – either the referral % or the referral amount?
Thanks
Hi Smilyan,
You can create a custom referral method to grant an amount per product instead of a rate. The API is available here for you to implement it.
Kind regards,
George
