This means you can use this on as many sites and you own and operate. However if you would like to use this on your clients sites you will need a license for each client.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Can I integrate the WP Affiliate Platform plugin with my eCommerce solution?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The WP Affiliate has API that can be used to integrate with any eCommerce solution. Please see the &#8220;Integration Options&#8221; section in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tipsandtricks-hq.com\/wordpress-affiliate\" target=\"_blank\">documentation page<\/a>\u00a0for more details.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Is there a limit to the number of affiliates I can have with the WP Affiliate Platform plugin?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">No, there is no limit on the number of affiliates you can have with the WP Affiliate Platform plugin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Does the affiliate software prevent buyers from purchasing with their own affiliate link?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">No,\u00a0the affiliate software doesn&#8217;t prevent buyers from purchasing with their own affiliate link. This is so they can buy more for other people if needed(eg. if the customer is a web developer and building a site for someone else). This in my opinion is a very good practice as it also gives the potential customer incentive to buy the product and be an affiliate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">How do you stop people who become an affiliate purely to get a discount on the product? Most people handle this by setting the minimum payout balance to an amount that requires an affiliate to make a few sales before getting paid out. For example, the minimum payout balance of my site is $25, so you will have to make a few sales before you get any money (which will prove that you are a genuine affiliate promoting the product and not just trying to scam the system to get a discount on the price). There is nothing more I like than to pay my affiliates who promote my products.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Does the affiliate software have the option to manually award commission?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Yes,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Can the affiliate software automatically reverse the commission for refunded products?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Yes, the affiliate platform plugin can automatically reverse the commission for refunded products when used with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tipsandtricks-hq.com\/?p=1059\" target=\"_blank\">WP eStore<\/a> plugin. If you are using it with any other ecommerce solution then you will have to call the commission reversal API or do it manually.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>If I have more than one type of payment on my site will the Affiliate track each payment type?<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Yes the Affiliate Platform will track the payment if you use different types of payment buttons (Example: Buy Now, Add to Cart and Subscription payments). The Affiliate plugin can track the sale as long as the e-commerce solution (that you are using) supports it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Majority of my customers prefer to pay for my product manually through bank transfer instead of paying by paypal. Is there a way to track the affiliate commission in this manual transaction?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Yes, the affiliate commission is tracked even when your customers use the manual checkout option of the WP eStore plugin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is WordPress Affiliate Platform compatible with the latest version of WordPress?
