Hi
I took a look at the plugin and it seems great.
I still have a few questions :
– can I integrate clickbank or other affiliate programs in it ?
– I think I understood that, but to be clear, do affiliates have their own private area in the site dashboard ? (like a regular wp access ?)Thanks
It’s not intended to work with external affiliate programs, just to maintain your own. Yes they have their own area, check out the documentation 🙂
Hi there,
I purchased Pro for WooCommerce thinking it would give me the option to add tiered affiliates and maybe a banner area for html downloads but I’m not really seeing any difference from the basic version yet.
Whenever I delete the referral rate from Woocommerce integration lite and insert individual rates for affiliates nothing is carried through to their sales – a sale is still recorded but nothing goes into totals.
I’m also really struggling with setting up the affiliate area, it just doesn’t want to work for me – if you’ve got any online tutorials, that would be great, thanks.
Hi Paula,
First thing you should do is take a look at the documentation pages. Regarding the totals, make sure to check the filter settings at the top of the page, the status would normally by Accepted so that only referrals pending payment are included (this is different from the Pending referral status where the payment for the related order has not been received yet). Also, you should disable and remove the light integration plugin and only use the integration plugin that comes with Pro. Please let me know if you have any questions after checking the documentation.
Cheers
Ah ha – brilliant thanks. I’ll have a good play in the morning but this is looking much better. Many thanks!
Hi, Man, one more thing…
The registration it’s not working properly, take a look: http://sitiosguau.com/recomienda-sitios-guau-y-gana-dinero/
the most of the times doesn’t do nothing when hiting the sign up button… some other times works, but none email is deliver to the user
please, help 🙂
thanks
Seems to work fine for me, I’ve just tried it. Probably when they don’t get an email, they receive the confirmation in their spam/junk mail folder.
Hi, Kento!
Now that I have the po files translate them, how can I make them work? I create a folder in the pro folder plugin called “lang” and put there the mo file… Iv’e tried nameing it es_ES.m coz that’s the language in the config.php and also tried with this affiliates-2.1.5.mo, but it’s not pulling any translation…
can you help me?
Cheers!
For Affiliates Pro you must place the compiled core language file
affiliates-es_ES.moin the folderwp-content/plugins/affiliates-pro/lib/core/languagesand the Pro additions also compiled toaffiliates-es_ES.moinwp-content/plugins/affiliates-pro/lib/ext/languages. You can also forward them for inclusion.
Hi, mate!
I just bought the pro and woocommerce integration. God work! Until now everthing is working great.
Just one question. How can I translate it? I don’t see any Po file or so…
I’ll translate it to spanish, in case you want to have the translation to add it to the plugin…
Cheers!
Hey that’s great, I’ll be happy to add them when you’ve got them ready.
You can use these templates for the translation:
current Affiliates .pot file
current Affiliates Pro .pot file
I’m busy evaluating the free version, and looking forward to buying the enterprise version which has multi-tiered system, thanks for all your help Kento…
My pleasure Haroun, let me know how it goes 🙂
Hi
I purchased Affiliates Pro for Woocommerce today and so far everything works fine except the [affiliates_affiliate_graph] shortcode.
With the standard theme (twentyeleven) it is working but with none of the premium themes that I tried.
I know the file that renders the graph ist “class-affiliates-graph-renderer.php”
I am getting insertet tags in my sourcecode that are causing the following error message(Uncaught Syntax Error:Unexpected token <). Well there mustn't be a tag so i tried to remove the spaces in the file so that there is no tag added.
Well then I am getting the following error message(Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL) between the following 2 code parts.
$.plot($(“#affiliate-graph-1”),data,options);
function statsTooltip(x, y, contents){$(‘–>ERROR<–
‘ + contents + ‘
‘).css({Please give me a small hint or tip what I could try cause I definitely need this to work (only reason for buying Pro).
May this be a autop filter problem?
Best wishes Dominik
It sounds like the themes you are using are messing with how content is rendered when they shouldn’t. Which ones have you tried? Can you post a link to the site where this happens?
Important: If you have modified any code of the Affiliates plugin please install the original version of the plugin first – there is no need to hack any files in Affiliates or Affiliates Pro.
I have purchased Affiliates Pro with Woocommerce. I am having a few issues as I test it. 1. I have the default referral status set as “Accepted”. However I just placed an order and the affiliate received an email but the referral was not updated to accepted. I had to change it manually. 2. I am not receiving email notifications of referrals. I checked the default email address under Settings then General and it already has the correct email address. Also, my affiliates want to know if their referrals are working. When they log in they can see referrals or payments but not hits. This would be very helpful to affiliates not only to show that the program is working but also if their hits are generating sales or not.
Note that the referral status is updated automatically by default, so when an order is not completed, the referral status will usually be pending even if the default status is set to Accepted.
Regarding the emails, if the notifications are enabled and you don’t see them, they probably end up in the junk/spam folder?
Please refer to the documentation to fine-tune your affiliate area (there are several shortcodes that you can add to the affiliate area).Hi Kento,
is there any way so that the referral status changes to closed automatically when I receive the payment via Paypal?
What I need is that my Affiliate Partners have an overview in their account only of the referrals which have been payed.
Is their any way that Affiliate Pro does this automatically without me checking every single order?
Thanks for your help.Hi,
“closed” status indicates that you have paid this referral to the affiliate. So I think the logic is when you receive the payment set the referral to accepted, and close it when you pay the commissions.
With the integration this status is updated automatically according to the order status.
If you need to show to the affiliates only the accepted referrals, you can use the shortcode [affiliates_referrals status="accepted"].
cheersHi Antonio,
thanks for the quick reply.
Therefore, my deferral status should be “pending”, right? But does the status switch automatically from “pending” to “accepted” when a client realizes the payment over Paypal – because that is what I need.
Because it happens often that a client makes an order and when he is about to pay, he cancel. This order then appears as pending. But if he pays, it doesnt switch to accepted automatically. How can I do that?
Thanks again.Hi,
when a customer pays with Paypal, your order changes to “processing” and the referral generated changes to “accepted”.
You need to have selected “The referrals related to the order will automatically be marked as accepted, unless they are closed.
” in Affiliates->Woocommerce Integration
cheers
HI,
Is there a way to deselect certain woocommerce products from giving a referral commission? For example we want affilaites to get commission for our CDs and books, but not for our vacation packages. Thanks!Hi Aaron,
It can be done through the API when a custom method is used to calculate the referrals, but OOTB you can’t exclude products from being included to compute the referral amount.
Cheers
I sent by twitter… that’s ok?
Hello.
How can I report an error on plugin?You’re welcome to post here 🙂
thanks! is there a way to get notified when a new version or plugin comes out?
Hi,
I’m looking for some functionality that was once offered by the Commission King plugin for Woocommerce, which was discontinued for some reason.
I want to pay money to the creator of the product for each sale of the product (let’s say you’re the painter of some artwork, so you will get $10 every time the art sells). So this is like a “permanent afiiliate” which is tied to a specific product, and not to a referral.
It should also support product variations (so for the XL version the artist will get $10, and for the small version $5 etc.)Will you consider filling the gap that was created when Commission king for off the air?
The simple answer is yes. I’ve been asked before if that would be possible and it will be made available either as part of the integration or an additional plugin.
is this functionality already available in your plugin? because it is exactly what I need.
BTW Commission King is very much alive and updated regularly but not listed in Woocommerce Extensions directory, for whatever reason, they only sell their woocommerce extension on their own website.
I really don’t know the main differences between your plugin and Commission King, since I want to buy the one that suits me better and offers good support.
Thanks
Hi Mario, the plugin that covers product commissions is Affiliates Products – note that for product variations only a single rate can be specified. As for the differences between that plugin and Commission King, Affiliates Products is designed to integrate with the Affiliates plugins so that you can control payouts to product partners in the same manner as you do with normal affiliates.
Kento,
Very interested in this plugin as it is integrated with the wonderful Woocommerce shopping cart system.
I am also using the subscriptions plugin for Woocommerce as my product is a monthly subscription. Will your plugin work with subscriptions so that affiliates get recurring monthly commissions as monthly subscriptions are processed? I am using the stripe plugin with the subscriptions plugin so my gateway works with subscriptions as well.
If your plugin works with recurring payments… I’m in.
Rick
The next revision of the integration plugin should take these into account. Can’t give an exact release date yet though.
Just bought Affiliates Pro and I was expecting this to work. Before I go in and build this in Stripe, I wanted see if you have a release date for this yet?
It should be ready before the end of the year, I’m preparing several updates also for the core and premium plugins and this should be supported when they are released.
Any update on when this will be available?
Trying to include it in this week’s updates.
Hi,
Very nice looking plugin. I have a question before purchase, however.
Is it possible to permanently attach an affiliate to a customer account? For example, the affiliate program we’re considering is for apparel based purchases. Ideally, we want the ability to do something like this:
– Customer clicks in from affiliate link and completes a purchase (fixed commission amount)
– Affiliate/referrer is assigned to WooCommerce customer ID/account
– Customer returns at a later date (lets say within 180 days) without clicking the affiliate link, but the original affiliate is still rewarded for this purchaseIs this something that’s possible?
Basically I’d say this would be possible, the referral timeout setting would have to be set accordingly (e.g. to 180 days, this doesn’t require Affiliates Pro as it’s a standard setting for the Affiliates plugins).
Great, thanks for the quick reply. We’ll give it a go!
Hi! Is it possible for affiliates to use earned comissions directly on checkout when buying from my shop?
You could issue discount codes for them based on totals but currently there’s no direct way to do that.
Are there any plans for this to be implemented in the future, or preferably, near future? Have a new client that runs an extensive affiliate/licensee network (1000 & counting, each running a unique site built specifically around the promotion of the product.) A large number of the affiliates spend all of their commissions on the product itself though, so they’re actually not interested in payouts, just credit towards their next purchase.
Yes, that and direct commissions for product sales.
Hi,
I’m starting to get there with this now. It’s not complicated, which is always a good thing, it’s just a case of finding the right bit to go where.
Do you have a way that I can have users automatically create an affiliate account when signing up in the usual way?
I noticed that when I signed up to make the purchase, I was also able to create an account for the site.
To be honest, I just want things to be simple, so a user can sign up once, either as a customer or affiliate at first, but it will be simple for customers to become affiliates on a single form.
The affiliate registration form is designed to handle that. Visitors who are not registered with the site can join through the form as well as registered users – registered users don’t create an account, they just join the actual affiliate program.
Hi Kento,
Do you have time today to discuss custom requirements?
Best,
MichaelSometimes 😉 – got your email btw, sure let’s have a quick chat about that.
Do you currently have any coupons that I could use? If so, I will purchase now.
Currently not, sorry.
Never mind, it was worth asking 🙂
I went for it anyway, I’m going to have to test it before offering it to clients 🙂
Sure, and your feedback is more than welcome 🙂
Hi Kento,
I forgot to mention that we are using WooCommerce. Thanks for the help.
Best,
MichaelPerfect 🙂
Hi Kento,
Great plugin! One quick questions regarding commissions:
Can the affiliate commission be a coupon instead of a monetary commission? We are trying to support a model where the affiliates are regular customers who refer products to their friends and as a reward get coupons to purchase additional products at a discount. (eg: commission = 25% off coupon)
Thanks,
MichaelHey Michael,
Basically it’s possible to do that with some appropriate customization.
An OOTB possibility would be to grant discounts to your affiliates based on the accumulated commissions and issue coupon codes for them. So instead of making an affiliate payment, use the totals to create coupon codes that they can use on their purchases.
The first option could be automated but would require some consulting/development, second one is manual with no additional efforts.
I’d say it depends whether the additional effort of making it automated would pay off or you could just handle it manually.
Also I think to grant a % commission based on referral could make it more complicated because you would have to take into account minimum amounts on the referrals etc.
Hey Kento, we’re starting to see some instances where two different affiliates are definitely getting credit for the same sale. Any idea what’s causing that or how to correct. It’s obviously a big problem… Thanks in advance for your help. FYI, we’re using Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce.
Hi Brad, this would only happen when two or more coupon codes from different affiliates were applied to the same order. In that case the commissions are split and it’s supposed to be that way. Can that be the case?
I don’t think that would be possible… too much of a bizarre coincidence. What’s also weird is that under “Visits & Referrals” it gives credit to two different affiliates, but under “Referrals” it clearly just gives the credit to only one of the affiliates.
Can you provide some detailed screenshots for these please or grant access to have a look? In any case, if you have several discount codes that can be applied on an order and these are related to affiliates, then it will certainly split the commissions – it is designed to be that way.
Will do. Where do I email the screenshots?
I emailed you the other day, did you see it?
HI!
I just have purchased Affiliate Pro for Woocommerce and I wonder if affiliates must have an internet site to take part of this or anybody withoug a website can do it? Does this work throug social media as well like facebook, Twitter, Google ect.?
ThanksYeah it does work that way as well. Simply by using the affiliate links or the discount codes that are assigned to affiliates, the affiliates can publish these on social media and get rewarded without the need for their own site.
Hello,
I have buy Affiliat Pro + Woo commerce integration, no problem for the moment, thank you.
I have a question:
With Affiliat Pro, i can have a different referral calculation by product ?Thanks in advance
* Sorry for my bad english
best regards
Hi Olivier,
Currently there is no direct way of assigning a commission rate to a specific product although I’m considering adding the option because it has been asked for several times now. It can be done through a custom method though, this would involve iterating over the products in the order and checking if a rate should apply, but it would require someone to code that custom method. An example is shown here.
Cheers
What I have done is to make the product commission rate “1” (i.e. 100 %). And so instead of saying commission = $50 I say that “Total Sales Generated” = $500 and then would go and manually figure out the commissions for each product (e.g. some at 3 % and some at 15 %). You can change the wording according to the manual.
Am just experimenting with this “hack” but perhaps it might help in the short term until there is a commission by product.
This feature (rates per product) is available since quite some time now in the Affiliates Pro fro WooCommerce integration, is that the one you are using currently? Have a look at the section Affiliates > WooCommerce Integration, you should see the options there. If not, you’ll need to update.
Thanks Kento,
I am currently using the free plugin to test the whole process but was having one main issue as the registration email is not being sent.
I read through: http://www.itthinx.com/topic/no-password-field-on-registration/
and installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin and know that I am getting emails from WordPress that tell me a new user has registered (so I know the platform is able to send mails) but the actual username/password is not sent to the user and can not figure it out (http://webpreneuracademy.com/affiliate-area).I am just trying to ensure both the free & pro plugins work as I teach this solution to thousands of students and moving over from shopify/bigcommerce type platforms as I was being asked for more economical ecommerce solutions – so ideally I can recommend the free plugin to those on a budget to try out and the paid plugin for those that want a better solution.
Once free plugin is working I will also upgrade to the pro as I do need the commissions by product feature (and now that I can see you put in a lot of time on support etc you deserve to get paid!).
I am assuming that even if I upgrade to pro that problem of emails not being sent to new registrations will not be solved?
Also one final question is this solution scalable – my concern is that emails to thousands of affiliates might not scale or you feel comfortable that bigger sites also have affiliates working without issues?
Thanks,
Amir
Hi Amir,
I’ve registered a test account and got the username/password email right away (affiliate id 21), maybe they’re landing in the spam/junk folder on your side?
Regarding large deployments, the plugin is capable of handling “unlimited” affiliates – both the free and premium versions, as long as the supporting infrastructure is appropriate. It’s not going to be the weakest link in the chain 😉
Cheers
dear
i buy the software
where can download it?thanks
You should have received an email with a download link, if not, you can also log in and get it from the Downloads section.
Hi,I’m about to purchase the woocommerce integration however I have a query.Suppose a sale is made and affiliate commission is tracked,later the client asked for refund and in woocommerce the status of the order is changed from completed to refunded then would it get reflected in affiliate and commission is deducted back?
Also the commission is reflected the moment payment is completed or it would wait till we change the status of the order to “completed”?
Kindly lemme know.
Many thanks in advanceHi Marc,
In case an order is refunded, the status of the referral reflecting the affiliate’s commission would automatically change to ‘Rejected’.
The referral is accepted automatically when the order is completed, so you don’t need to manually adjust it.
Cheers
Hi there! I see you can assign a coupon to an affiliate but can you assign a customer to an affiliate once the coupon or link is used?
Hi Ty, if a customer makes a purchase and has visited the affiliate’s link before or is using a coupon that is assigned to an affiliate, the affiliate will get a commission for that purchase. So ‘assigning a customer to an affiliate’ is not technically correct, although in practice – depending on how things are set up – it can be equivalent: through a) zero referral timeout and/or b) non-expiring coupons.
hi there, i’m looking for just this function to.. the function to assign a user to an affiliate and then be able to say affiliate 1 is going to get 5% of all sale forever (or 2 years if I like) and affiliate 2 will get 20% of all sale made of the user assign to that affiliate.
How can i do that with you plugin and do I need the pro version ?
Thanks
JacobHi Jacob,
there isn’t “permanent affiliates”, as kento says, it can be equivalent: through
a) for example 365×2 = 730 days referral timeout (Affiliates->Options) and/or
b) non-expiring coupons.cheers
I am using the affiliates pro for Woo commerce and all good so far. I have one issue. The email that is sent to new affilates after they sign up on the form provides a link to the wp-admin page rather than to the affiliate login page.
The problem is when they login through wp-admin they are presented with information about shop purchases nothing to do with affiliate info.
Where can I edit this email/set this so that the email provides a link to the affiliate sign in form?
Many Thanks
Colin
Hi Colin, you can use a plugin for that, the SB Welcome Email Editor plugin has been suggested in this comment. Cheers
Thanks!
How do we actually download/receive new versions, Kento?
– Martin
There is a completely new updates section being prepared where you will be able to download new releases. Will be announced very shortly.
Hey Kento, everything seems to be going well with Affiliates Pro for WooCommerce, but we’ve had a couple of people question us on whether the links work once shared through Facebook and other social media. If someone shares our affiliate link through social media, I assume that Affiliates Pro will still recognize it when clicked? Reply to confirm and thanks.
Hi Bradley, sure, the links work if shared as well. Same thing applies for link shorteners etc.
Fantastic. Thanks as always for the speedy response!
My pleasure 🙂
We downloaded and installed free version with Woocommerce Integration Light. Looks good so far. We’ll probably buy Pro soon.
Cool, thanks!
I want an affiliate system which will allow me to specify a fixed amount rather than percentage of the sale. and the amount will vary depending on the product type. Is it possible using affliates woocommerce?
please let me know…
thanksThanks for asking. This is an option that has been requested before and is scheduled for an upcoming release. You can already use a fixed amount per referral and it is possible to use your own custom method to do implement very flexible commission schemes, including any variation on commissions per product, but it’s not yet available as a standard feature in the integration. It won’t take long to be made available though.
Do you still anticipate offering “variation on commissions per product”? If so, do you know the timing? This would be a great feature for us. particularly with Woo Commerce. Thanks!
The WooCommerce integration with Affiliates Pro features product rates that allow you to specify different rates per product since quite a while now 🙂
Hi Kento,
I got a problem with my affiliates area: http://www.phonejoy.us/affiliates/
When you try to register I just get a:
ERROR: This username is already registered, please choose another one.
ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one.No matter what user name I have chosen. I don’t know it used to work before, but it somehow stopped working, not sure why.
Also, could you add classes to the registration form, otherwise I can’t really customize it without editing the shortcode scripts.
Hope you can help,
MartinI just checked, the registration actually goes through. But the error is not that great. Also is there an Email template? Or would I have to edit the script for that as well?
I did a couple of test registrations as well and get the same thing. The registration goes through but the error is displayed. Let me know about the plugins or if you want to grant access to take a look at the back end that would be fine as well. The email is the standard sent by WordPress, it’s not controlled by the Affiliates Pro plugin. If you want to change it, you should be able to find a plugin that allows to customize the standard registration email sent by WordPress.
Hi Martin, It might be that something else is interfering, what other plugins are active on the site please?
You can style the form and its field quite easily without hacking the scripts (and please don’t because you’ll have to do it over and again after updates): The form’s class is affiliates-registration-form and the fields can be targeted by their ids.Hello there,
i’m having the same issue, were you able to fix it…was the interfering Plugin identified?
In my installation this happens, when a User is already registered as woocommerce customer.
Funny thing is that i am able to add existing Users as affiliates in the Backend without errors.
Hello again,
i did some more Tests an now i know the problem. Wen i register in woocommerce and go to the affiliate registration the fields are pre-populated. Exept for prename and last name…those are prepopulated with nothing , but disabled.
This is why:
The woocommerce registration asks for a billing adress, but doesn’t save the prename and last name as wordpress username. The affiliate plugin requires those. So i can make two solutions:1. Get the affiliate plugin to use the billing adress name of woocommerce to pre-populate.
2. Get woocommerce to save billing name as WordPress User pre and last name.I hope i made it clear…any hint?
Hi Bastian,
The registration form requires these to be filled in because it uses the info as the Affiliate’s name when the affiliate entry is created. The registration will show this message “Please fill in the required information in your profile first.” when it is missing required information from the user.
The Simple Facebook Connect plugin was involved but it was resolved with an update of Affiliates Pro after that. Do you have any plugins installed that can interfere with the registration process?
Hi Kento,
This seems great, but only if I can use it paired with coupon codes, that is exactly what I’m looking for. I see you say you’re working on that. Any idea when it will be finished?
Make that happen and we got a deal 🙂
//Oscar
To be honest, I need it myself like *yesterday* so it’s a top priority 😉
Good stuff! Looking forward to the good news 😉
It’s finally available, the WooCommerce integration now supports coupons 🙂
Kento,
Is it possible to customize affiliates pro to work with the WooCommerce coupon codes? Thank you
It’s being developed, so that coupon codes can be related to affiliates. Is that what you’re looking for?
That’s awesome news – thanks again.
Hi.
1. If I buy Affiliate Pro Woocommerce Integration + Affiliate Pro S2Member Integration will I have two different admin panels or will it all be blended inside one panel?
2. Is there any discount for buying two plugins at once?
3. Why SUSDL (comparing to all other Woo extensions)?
4. Does SUSDL also applies for WP Multisite? For example, I will have a system with lots of child sites so visitors can choose to which site they want to signup to (become members). All those subsites are part of the same story? Will I have to pay for all those subsites. If I do than this is the most expensive affiliate plugin out there. Even more expensive than iDev Affiliate software. I mean, if S2Member and Woo allow me to use their plugin on all subdomains then I would expect to have the same privilege with any extension. Yeah, I know, you make the rules around here 🙂Everything’s handled under the Affiliates menu. Have you considered using the free version? It features more than enough for when you’re just starting and when your business volume justifies it, you can then benefit from the features that Pro offers.
Hello,
After looking into the documentation further I have figured out how to add attributes to the individual affiliates.
My question is how can I make the PayPal email address field apart of normal registration so that I do not have to add an attribute(paypal) for every single affiliate.
Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to sort it out by yourself, I just got to answer your previous comment 🙂
Although the affiliate registration form does not provide an explicit option, would it be an option to tell your affiliates to sign up with their PayPal email address? If not, they can also edit their profile and provide it there. You can set up an affiliate profile page that allows them to edit their details, including their PayPal email address. The shortcode is documented on this page, an example usage would be[affiliates_affiliate_profile show_attributes="paypal_email" edit_attributes="paypal_email"].
Hello,
I recently purchased and installed your plugin Affiliates Pro WooCommerce Integration Pack. I’ve looked everywhere and do not see a place for the affiliate to enter their Paypal email address.
Is their sign up email address assumed to be the same as their PayPal address or is there another field I just haven’t located yet?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
You can define the affiliate’s PayPal email address as documented here but unless the affiliate’s PayPal email address is different than the affiliate’s email address you don’t need to define it explicitly – if you just want it to appear when generating the PayPal mass payment file, the affiliate’s email address is used unless the PayPal one is added as an attribute.
How do I allow affiliates to add their own PayPal address? The whole process could be streamlined if the affiliate could add their own PayPal email address? Having them email me that information is confusing and time consuming. I hope you create a way for users to manage enter and manage this information within their account. Thank you! – Scott
Thank you for your response. I did not get an email notice that you responded, so I apologize for the delay. Here is the code I am using per the instructions from the page your provided:
[affiliates_affiliate_profile edit_name="true" edit_email="true" edit_attributes="paypal_email" /]
All that comes up on my new profile page is my name (first & last) and email address, but both are uneditable.
Can you help me? Not sure what I am missing here 🙂
Thanks – Scott
I figured out the issue. When I copy / pasted the code from your site, i should have pasted it into the Text editor, versus visual. Your code is using some italics () tags and that was breaking the shortcode. All is working now 🙂 Thanks – Scott
Thanks for following up on that 🙂
Thank you, I look forward to that update!
Kento,
is it possible to customize the affiliate id via a new attribute, or use the username? A client is *really* wanting this functionality.
So instead of ?affiliates=24 it’d be ?affiliates=username
Thank youThat can be done, I will have to schedule this probably to go along with an option for the parameter id.
Awesome response, Thank you!
Hello!
I was wondering if there is a way to add:
1. Clickthrough data that did not generate sales, so the affiliate can see if people are going to the site (but not making purchases)
2. CTR – click through rate
3. Are there any fancy charts or graphs that I can integrate, or that are already integrated and usable via shortcode?
Thank you again!
Hi Rami,
Regarding 1, yes, actually you can use several options to show stats including hit and visit counts, take a look at the documentation subsections here.
For 2, you can show them the conversion ratio (see above) but the actual CTR based on visits to the affiliate’s site is not available (yet).
There is work being done on including charts for affiliates to see on the frond end for the next release of Affiliates Pro (this is for 3).
Awesome, I’m seeing the same thing. WooCommerce was working on the issue, maybe they fixed it 🙂 Thank you!
Great 🙂
Kento,
Great, thank you; I will send wp admin details via your contact page now 🙂
Thanks Rami, I’ve made a test purchase and got to the PayPal payment screen without problems. Also the referral for the order #4060 has been created correctly, as well as other referrals which have been recorded for previous orders. Whatever you observed is not related to Affiliates Pro or the integration. One thing though, the checkout and cart screens look rather ‘unthemed’ yet … but other than that it works nicely.
Hello,
I purchased Affiliates Pro and did the WooCommerce integration. When a customer checks out using paypal, it’s var_dump-ing their email address and the order string, causing the site to never load the paypal payment page.
Is this the correct place to request support regarding this? Thank you for the great plugin!
-R
Let’s have a look at your site. The dump isn’t something that Affiliates Pro or the WooCommerce integration would do.
Hi Kento,
I don’t want to use PayPal mass payments, since I’ll be paying affiliates every 15 days AND I’ll also take CC payments using 2Checkout.com
That said:
1) Will affiliates be able to see how much have they earned each month?
2) Will they be able to see how much was already paid to them and how much is pending, per month, or given date range?Thank you very much,
Manuel
Of course you can use other options than PayPal, what Affiliates Pro provides is the ability to generate the mass payments file and that is obviously convenient. But you can use the data provided to make payments through any processor. Regarding 1) Yes, 2) Yes – actually they can filter their results for any given date range.
Thanks! I bought it yesterday… looks great so far!
Great to hear that 🙂 Please let me know when you’ve got it set up.
Thank you. I will give it a try.
Hello,
Does your affiliate plugin work well with woo ecommerce Commission King?
Thank you
These are independent, you can give it a try using Affiliates and Affiliates WooCommerce Light and decide to use Pro after that.
Did Commission King end up working for you? I am interested in using that as well.
Hi, We have no relationship with Commission King.
cheers
Hi,
I have a few questions:
1. The comissions appear on Woocommerce Dashboard?
2. Affiliates can track their traffic, commisions?
3. When the commisions are paid, instantly or when an administrator aproves them and sends them?
4. Also the ideea above in which members can be affiliates is going to be integrated or exists?Thanks
Hi Mik,
To your questions, 1 – Affiliates has its own admin area for that, 2 – yes, 3 – through PayPal Mass Payments, 4 – users can be related to affiliates.
Make sure to have a look at the documentation here: http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/
Not sure how to make a contribution, but I am quite interested in getting a discount on the pro vs. when it is released
Thanks for your interest Shawn, I was just about to put a decent button for that here 😉
I am trying to download the affiliates pro for woocommerce but it says the link in the email expired. Any advice?
