Affiliates coupon use track and display data

—

Antonio,

I have two questions.

1-I have purchased Affiliates Enterprise and Affiliates Coupons. I have set up the plugins with few issues. Is there a way to display in the affiliates management area the associated coupon with the respective referral transaction? I would like to track the performance of coupon use and display that data in the affiliate management area for each affiliate. I have attempted to render the coupon data using the coupon attribute in the shortcode, but with little success. [affiliates_affiliate_stats type=”stats-referrals” data=”coupons” show_pending=”true” /]. Can you help with this?

2- When I am in the affiliates enterprise admin / manage affiliates page, a strange display of data occurs. I have selected several forms of data to appear on the screen: Affliate, Username, Referral Rate, Coupons and First name. The affiliates appear, however some affiliates appear more than once, and others only appear one time. I have done some troubleshooting and this is what I have discovered: When I have only one attribute with one value the affiliate displays only one time. If I have an affiliate with two or more attributes or when there is more than one data value (eg coupon codes) the affiliate will display itself n times based on n-1 attributes or attribute values. I have an affiliate with one attribute: coupons, with 3 coupon values. That affiliate will display twice. If I add one more attribute, that affiliate will display 3 times on the admin Manage Affiliates page. If I remove the coupons attribute or insert only one coupon code, it will work fine. Is this me and my setup? Or something else?

Thanks

Matt

    Hi Matthew,

    That is happening because the affiliate coupon is not recorded in the referral data.
    The coupon is used only to provide another way of tracking if the affiliate has referred a sale.
    However, i will propose the feature and check if it can be added in a future release of the plugin.

    Kind regards,
    George

    Thanks Geroge.

    Yes, woo reports will provide a usage stats, however, I was looking for a method to display the coupon usage in the Affiliates Management Area for each affiliate. In my original post I used a shortcode with “data=coupons” attribute to display coupon usage in the Affiliate Management Area. This method did not work.

    Is there a method to track and render coupon usage in the Affiliate Management Area?

    Also, Look forward to a fix on the second point.

    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi Matthew,

    As you already know, with Affiliates Coupons you can create and assign coupons to affiliates, in order to track referrals without the user to have to click on the affiliate’s link. These coupons are basically coupons to be used in WooCommerce, therefore you can track coupon usage through WooCommerce reports section.

    As for the second point, you are right. Depending on the attributes set on an affiliate, the affiliate record get re-rendered on Affiliates>Manage Affiliates page. I will look into it in order to apply a fix in the next update.

    Kind regards,
    George
