Hi,
We have a membership area with a Wholesale shop and we don’t want our normal affiliates (who are also members) to receive commissions from products purchased from that wholesale (member) shop.
Other than setting zero % rate for that category, what is the best way to ensure that they 1) don’t get notifications 2) are restricted from purchasing as an affiliate in that x category?
Hi Melissa,
Welcome to our support forum and many thanks for using our affiliates plugins on your site.
What you can do in this case is by using the filter hook affiliates_record_referral, decide whether the referral should be recorded or not. Once you retrieve the order id from
$referral_data['post_id']you should check if this is an order and if it contains products from the restricted category.
If these conditions apply, then you should return false to the hook’s callback function, or otherwise true.
This boolean as you already figure out, will prevent the referral from being recorded when these conditions apply.
Kind regards,
George
