Free Features

  • When a user visits the store with a refer ID in query string, the plugin saves the affiliate ID and credits commissions to him/her if this visit turns into purchase
  • Refer ID will be stored in user’s cookie for a time that can be set in admin panel; this way, even though visit and purchase do not happen during the same navigation session, commissions can be credited correctly
  • You can credit commissions only to affiliates that have registered and have been enabled correctly
  • You can create new affiliates directly from users registered to your site
  • You can use a shortcode to allow affiliate registration
  • You can set a general commission for affiliates for each order coming from their refer ID
  • Commission status changes automatically each time order status changes
  • The plugin manages automatically all totals concerning affiliates and updates them according to the status of commissions and orders
  • The plugin calculates automatically refunds and decrements the total of affiliate commissions in case of refunds
  • You can register payments that have to be made to affiliates
  • You can handle basic reports that can be filtered by date
  • You can customise parameters for the cookies managed by the plugin
  • Affiliates can access their own dashboard, where they find all information about sales trend
  • You can use the shortcode “Generate link” to generate links for taking users to your site with the correct refer ID
