WordPress Affiliate Plugin Summary
The WordPress Affiliate Platform is an easy to use WordPress plugin for affiliate recruitment, management and tracking that can be used on any WordPress blog or site. This plugin lets you run your own affiliate campaign/program and allows you to reward (pay commission) your affiliates for referring sales.
The admin can configure banners, links and creatives which the affiliates can use on their site to drive traffic to your site. All the clicks, leads, sales etc are tracked by this plugin.

WP Affiliate Platform Questions (F.A.Q)
Please leave a comment below if you have any questions.
@Pedro, You can use the following addon and exclude that subscription product so it doesn’t generate any commission:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/product-specific-affiliate-commission-woocommerce-products-1004
Hi! We’re using WooCommerce Subscriptions and would like the sign up fee to be bypassed by the WP-Affiliate system (while the recurring fees are accounted for). Is this possible? We’re using the sign up fee as a deposit and can’t have that amount split to the affiliates.
Thanks for your help.
@James, yes you can do that.
Hi with WooCommerce is it possible to set individual commissions for certain products eg: widget one affiliate is paid 20% and widget two affiliate is paid 50 %
@Brandon, Yes it is possible to award affiliates recurring commission if they refer a customer to a Subscription via eStore or WooCommerce subscription addon.
Is it possible to award affiliates recurring commission if they refer a customer to a Subscription?
If so,
Is this possible with your wp e-store plugin?
and, is it possible with WooCommerce + Subscriptions plugin?
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
@ Ruth, Yes we have MailPoet integration with the Affiliate.
Do you have Mail Poet integration? I am looking for an Affiliate program that has this type of integration.
@Andrea, You mean to offer a bonus amount when the user signs up? It is in the settings menu of this plugin.
Hi where is it the bonus signup section?
@Arien, Do you want your affiliates to be signed up to your mailpoel list when they become an affiliate?
Hi,
I am using Mailpoet e-mailprogram. Can it be integrated with the Affiliate plugin?
Thanks.
@Yury, Yes there is a check-box in the Affiliate settings. If you check this option you (the site admin) will get an email each time a commission is awarded.
When an affiliate is awarded commission is there a notification email set to the admin?
@Avery, Yes you can pay your affiliates in Euro’s. You can pay them in any currency that is supported by the payment gateway you are using.
My purchases are made in Euro can I also pay my affiliates in Euro’s?
@Lizzy, Yes we do have integration with Gumroad. You can find all our integration options on our documentation page.
Do you happen to have Gumroad integration with the WP Affiliate?
~*~Lizzy~*~
@Andrew, You can set it in the Affiliate to either pay a once off commission or every time the recurring payment happens.
When using the Affiliate and recurring subscriptions, will the affiliate be paid one time or on the recurring amount?
@TanTan, Yes you can manually pay your Affiliate and manually upgrade membership levels.
I want to pay affiliate manually, is it possible?
Also, can I adjust member from free member to paid member manually?
Adding an Affiliate program to my site was a great thing. Using your plugins made it even better. It was quick to setup and understand. This has lead to a very successful Affiliate program on my site.
Thanks a million,
Nolan
@3wendy, This plugin is for users who are selling products or services and want to run an affiliate program. If you are an affiliate who will be sending referrals then you don’t need it.
How can i use this plug-in if I am the site sending referrals off to other ecommerce websites?
Thanks Admin,
I understand completely. Love this plugin. I will use it once my site is done. Thanks for your quick replies.
@Nyroka, Lets say you are using a PayPal subscription button to charge recurring payment. In that case you only need to integrate this plugin with PayPal. We have an integration for that:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/plain-paypal-button-and-affiliate-plugin-integration-168
This plugin will track the commission every time a recurring payment is charged and Thats it.
You usually use a membership plugin to handle the membership side of things (for example: if you want to do advanced content protection for your content so certain content can be seen by some members and not others).
I am creating a website where members pay a monthly fee to join and get paid commission for each person they refer. Do i need a membership plugin or can I use this to what I want?
@Nyroka, Yes you can but it really depends on which membership plugin you intend to use. We have integration with a few membership plugins. It also works well with our own membership plugin WP eMember.
Can I use this for membership sites and recurring bills?
@Mark, Yes the Affiliate has integration with Gravity Forms and the PayPal add-on. You can see these options here:
Integration options 24-26.
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/
Hey Guys i’m very interested in the plugin, does it support the latest version of Gravity Forms and Gravity Forms PayPal Add-On? Thanks!
@Yoshi, Yes you can integrate the Affiliate with PayPal. You can see the instructions for this here:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/?p=168
I just want to check that the affiliate program will integrate ok with a straight one off Buy It now Paypal button? i.e I dont need the eCommerce software as well?
Ah, nevermind. I think I answered my own question by perusing through this page – https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/how-to-setup-revenue-sharing-with-wp-estore-and-affiliate-platform-930
Pre-Sale question… I already have the eStore & eMember plugins, which are totally awesome, but I’d like to use the Affiliate plugin to track eStore’s actual “buy now” button… not a text link/ad that points to the page — the actual purchase (dynamic?) link that eStore produces for each product. I’ve watched the setup video for the Affiliates plugin and I’m not quite sure if that’s possible, so I thought I’d ask here. If there’s a way to associate an estore buy now button/link with an affiliate member’s ID through a shortcode, that would work, too (something like… [wp_eStore_buy_now_button id=1 affiliate_id=1]). Please let me know if this is doable =)
I agree with met, this is an awesome tool. I own all the plugins they have to offer and love each and everyone.
Martin
Awesome tool, thanks
@Harry, There are simple WishList integration options. You can read about this option here:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/wishlist-members-plugin-and-wp-affiliate-plugin-integration-723
Yes you can use it for once off payments and recurring subscription payments. The Affiliate will track both types of payments when using it with WishList.
how easy is it to integrate your affiliate software with wishilst members? will it work for one off payments and recurring subscription products? what steps would be required to have integration working properly? we are only using paypal for payments
I just wanted to thank the Tips and Trick team for making such and easy Affiliate plugin. I had my affiliate program up and running with in no time and it has been doing great since.
Thank you,
Wayne
@Alex, Yes you can manually change the affiliate commission on a per affiliate basis.
Hey guys. I have a question. Is there possible to change the commission for an affiliate? I mean, if the site it’s set for a 20% commission per sale, can i make the commission for affiliate X 25%?
thank you
@Rikho, Yes you can have 6-7 digits (Example 250,000.00).
I want to buy ‘WordPress eStore + WordPress Affiliate Platform’, but I wanted to ask first.
Can the currency changed? How many digits can be used? In my country it took 6 or 7 digits.
Thanks
I just wanted to say the T & T support team is off the hook . I was having a problem (that my theme was causing) with the WP Affiliate Plugin. The T&T team hooked a brother up and fixed the problem for me.
@Katie, Yes you can manually add or remove commissions in the WP Affiliate plugin.
Can I manually add commissions in the Affiliate Plugin? I have some people who purchase offline and I would like to award the Affiliates commission.
I have already installed and running perfectly.
100% recommendable.
Very visual & intuitive.
Thanks : )
@Lem, Yes your Affiliates can send the customer to any page on your site (where the Affiliate plugin is installed). The sale will be tracked site wide for as long as the cookie is present and active.
