Configuring Affiliates with 5% commission on check out

—

Hi I recently bought the affiliates pro plugin and cant seem to find how to configure it so that affiliates receive 5% commision for every referral that checks out. Also can we assign affiliates a code so that the end consumer gets a 5% discount on checkout and the affiliate gets 5% for the usage of the code.

Also How do i change the link to show username instead of ID, and how do i add in the south african rand(ZAR) as a currency.

Your positive response will be highly appreciated.

Regards

    Hi Shaun,

    You can set the Referral Rate to 0.05 under Affiliates > Settings under Commissions tab. That would grant 5% of the net sale amount for each referral. Furthermore, if you haven’t already installed, you will also need the appropriate integration for your eCommerce system. The list of supported systems can be found here.

    Regarding ZAR currency code, your affiliates earnings will use the same code as your ecommerce system. If that doesn’t work then you should paste the following snippet in your functions.php file of your child theme:

    add_filter ( 'affiliates_earnings_display_currency', 'gt_new_currency' );
    function gt_new_currency( $currency_id ) {
    $currency_id = 'ZAR';

    return $currency_id;
    }

    In order to display username instead of ID, you need to install the premium extension Affiliates by Username. After installing you should add the shortcode like this in your affiliate area page.
    [affiliates_by_username][affiliates_url][/affiliates_by_username]

    Kind regards,
    George
