It is a known fact that having an affiliate program is the most powerful way to market your products or services online (Read more on the benefits of affiliate program).

If you own a WordPress blog/site and your answer to the following questions are ‘yes’ then the ‘WordPress Affiliate Platform’ is what you need:

  1. Do you sell products or services online from your WordPress blog/site?
  2. Do you want to increase your sales and explode your profits by using an affiliate program?
  3. Do you want to have your own affiliate program so you can cut the middle man and build your own brand?

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 plugin turns WordPress into the best affiliate campaign management platform

  1. Vespa says:

    Can I have different commission rates for different affiliates? I have some top earning affiliates that I want to give a better commission to can this be done?

  2. admin says:

    @Dave, Yes you are correct. The same can be done for WooCommerce also.

  3. Dave Herriman says:

    Found all your great documentation, so I just want to verify that I’m actually seeing what I’m reading.
    Using WP eStore + WP Affiliate Platform together I will be able to specify individual product payout percentages, not just an umbrella default of certain percentages for certain affiliates. The setting is on the eStore product side under Additional Product Details // Product-Specific Commission, yes?

  4. admin says:

    @Jo, Yes, please see the following documentation:
    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/integrating-optimizemember-plugin-wp-affiliate-software-974

  5. Jo says:

    Using optimize member can I set up recurring affiliate payments, so affiliates get paid a % every time a member pays their monthly dues?

    If so is there documentation somewhere on how to set it up?

  6. admin says:

    @Shannon, You can upload anything you want via the media up-loader. Then enter the HTML code to configure the creatives. Your affiliates will just copy and paste the HTML code of the creative from the affiliate portal.

  7. Shannon Jones says:

    I’m thinking about getting this. Are you able to add video creatives? If your are not able to upload a full .mp4 per say, could you use the html editor for a workaround? And are you able to add FLASH banners?

  8. admin says:

    Hi George, Go to the following admin interface of the plugin.

    WP Affiliate -> Clicks-throughs -> Individual Affiliate Clicks Data

    Then enter the affiliate ID to pull up the entries. Delete the entries off (the ones with the IP address in question).

  9. George Negron says:

    how can I block a specific IP from triggering commission? we enter a lot of orders in-house and for some reason, it keeps registering as an affiliate commission. we have tired cleaning cookies and history with no luck

  10. admin says:

    @Randy, The {first_name} tag should work fine in most of the emails that you configured in the “Email Settings” menu. Which email are you referring to (the signup or the commission notification email)?

  11. Randy Austin says:

    I have purchased this Affiliate Platform Plugin and it’s great. In settings we can send various Emails which works fine, however if we want to send personalized emails with the Affiliate First Name and Last Name how would we do that? {user_name} works fine of course but {first_name} does not.
    I was unable to find any documentation on this,
    Thanks,
    Randy

  12. Korin Iverson says:

    @George The person can leave and come back and the sale will be tracked. As long as the cookie is active and present the sale is tracked.

  13. George says:

    Hi,

    Does this plugin track sales that have come from a user who has returned to the site after they have clicked the affiliate link? Or does it only give credit if the sales comes during the session that results from the affiliate click?

    Thanks,

    George

  14. admin says:

    @Kahra, We already have an activecampaign integration addon for the affiliate plugin. Yes, the plugin works with woocommerce subscription.

  15. Kahra says:

    Hi,

    Do you plan to add activecampaign integration ? If so, do you know when ?

    Also, is it working with woocommerce subscription ?

    Thanks

  16. Korin Iverson says:

    @Georgia, Yes the Affiliate plugin has integration with Gravity Forms Stripe checkout.

  17. Georgia says:

    Does the Affiliate plugin integrate with Gravity Forms String checkout addon?

  18. admin says:

    @Michelle, Yeah you can setup the subscription through eStore and it will award commissions on the recurring payments.

  19. Michelle says:

    Can the recurring commissions work on subscriptions if it is set up through estore and not using Paypal buttons?

  20. Korin Iverson says:

    @Kane, Yes we have an add-on that makes it so the WP Affiliate can integrate with Constant Contact.

  21. Kane says:

    Do you have an option for integration with Constant Contact?

  22. admin says:

    @TK, Yes, you can edit an affiliate record from the admin side and set a different commission rate.

  23. TK says:

    Hello,

    Can I to set a different referral rate (commission amount) for each affiliate member?

    Best Regards

  24. admin says:

    @Alexander, Yes we have an integration with Optimize Member plugin.

  25. Alexander says:

    Hi,

    I’m setting up a membership website with Optimize Member (OptimizePress) to deliver an online course. Is this affiliate system known to be compatible?

    Thanks!

  26. admin says:

    @Aj, You are currently looking at the “Pay Per Lead” feature documentation. Looks like you want to capture leads. So look at the contact form 7 and affiliate lead capture integration documentation here:
    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/how-to-capture-leads-using-the-wp-affiliate-platform-215

  27. Aj says:

    Hi

    I would like to use this plugin with lead capture functionality with contact form 7. I have numbers of affiliate where each person have different commission criteria.

    I’ve checked your documentation https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/contact-form-7-and-affiliate-platform-integration-197 for contact form 7 lead capture where you have mentioned to add commission amount so how could I manage if I want to decide the commission once the lead is finalized or it will take the commission from affiliate area?

  28. Korin Iverson says:

    @John, Yes you can set different commission rates per affiliate if you need to.

  29. John says:

    I have used your eStore for sometime now and I am thinking about adding the Affiliate Plugin to my site.

    Can you tell me if the Affiliate Plugin allows me to set a different commission per affiliate?

  30. Korin Iverson says:

    @Lyn, Yes the Affiliate plugin has integration with MadMimi

  31. Lyn says:

    Does the Affiliate plugin have Mad Mimi integration options?

  32. admin says:

    @Ande, The most recent affiliate (who refers the customer) will receive the affiliate commission. Thats how it works by default.

  33. Ande says:

    Hello,

    Is there a way to give commissions to the most Recent affiliate that drives traffic?

    For example, if we do a big promotion, and 30 affiliates mail for us, let’s say 1 customer
    is on 3 of those 30 affiliates’ email lists.

    I’d like to set my program up so the most recent affiliate gets the sale…

    Can I do that?

    Thanks,

    Ande

  34. admin says:

    @Keith, Yes there is a two tier system option that you can enable from the settings.

  35. keith says:

    Is their a Two Tier system where affiliates bring on other affiliates and make commission on their sales?

  36. Pascal says:

    I have been using the Affiliate plugin since the start. I wanted to thank you for keeping your plugin up to date and continuing development of the plugin. This plugin has allowed me to have a successful affiliate program on my site.

    Pascal

  37. admin says:

    @Mick, Yes there is an option to that in the plugin.

  38. Mick says:

    Hi, I already use WP eStore & PDF Stamper, and am considering Affiliate Platform — is there a setting to stop people from using their affiliate link for their own purchase?
    Thanks

  39. admin says:

    @Carlos, Yes you can do that and award commission manually from the admin interface of the plugin.

  40. Carlos Vazquez says:

    Hi Carlos, The following is true:

    It has to be 50% of first payment (setup fee) and 50% of subsequent payments.

    Kind Regards,

    In that case, can I set up the affiliate to 0% and manually award payments as needed?

  41. admin says:

    @Kelsea, There should be no conflict with that. We actually don’t have any plugin called “affiliate integration light” so you maybe using another plugin and confusing that with ours. You can check the plugin author value to confirm if the plugin you are using is ours or not.

  42. Kelsea says:

    Will Affiliate platform conflict with WooCommerce coupons? Because I am having an issue when affliates and affiliate integration light are enabled, I am unable to use the woocommerce coupon code feature. It disables/cancels it.

  43. admin says:

    @Li, Please read the 2nd integration method for PayPal (it uses IPN). I think that will work better given your custom PayPal button setup.

  44. Li says:

    Hello
    The Affiliate Program seems right for us. Small problem – we are using our own custom paypal buttons which shouldn’t be an issue but we already have the button return page going back to a thank you page which is a .php page – we are using a script to prevent double downloads. Obviously we can’t have 2 return pages so could we just include the affiliate script that is on the thank you page and add it to our php file? I can’t see another solution.

    Thanks

  45. Korin Iverson says:

    @Davey, Yes you can export them to a CSV file.

  46. Davey says:

    Can I export the leads at are captured?

  47. admin says:

    @Ellison, Yes you can use our standard PayPal integration to integrate the simple membership plugin with our affiliate software.

  48. Ellison says:

    Hi! Good Day,

    Can i use this affiliate platform plugin even im using the simple membership plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-membership/)

    Im happy to know and im willing to buy this affiliate platform.

  49. Korin Iverson says:

    @Pat, Yes there is an option that will auto send out an email to the Affiliate when you approve them.

  50. Pat says:

    If you use the affiliates need to be approved option in the Affiliate Platform. Can you auto send out an email when you approve them? Or do you manually need to send out the email after you approve them?
