“Affiliates Coupons” – Key Integration Questions

We are currently adding coupon codes to affiliates via the Affiliate Attributes as recommended and seen here: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0bc5p5d8cf

We were manually adding the user name(as indicated in red) to the 2 code types as illustrated here:
– http://awesomescreenshot.com/0b35p5dgd3
– http://awesomescreenshot.com/07e5p5dm93

1) How can we use the Affiliates Coupons plugin to automatically add the above 2 coupon types to A) New affiliates and B) Existing affiliates
2) How can we show the coupon codes corresponding to each affiliate on the affiliate page so they easily have access and all related info

I did see some older posts on this but wanted the latest versions and implementation flow chart, thanks!

  1. Hi Steve,

    If you mean how it appears under cart totals, no it doesn’t but you can still modify it with this snippet.

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'gt_change_shipping_label', 10, 2 );

    function gt_change_shipping_label( $rates, $package ) {
    global $woocommerce;
    $coupon_id = array();

    // your coupon codes should be added here
    $coupon_id[] = 'test coupon';
    $coupon_id[] = 'free coupon';

    foreach ( $coupon_id as $cp_id ) {
    if ( isset( $rates['flat_rate'] ) AND in_array( $cp_id, $woocommerce->cart->applied_coupons ) ) {

    $rates['flat_rate']->label = 'Free Shipping';
    $rates['flat_rate']->cost = '0.00';

    }
    }

    return $rates;
    }

    put this in your child theme’s functions.php file. For each of your coupons you want to grant free shipping, add a line like the others $coupond_id[] = ‘free shipping coupon’ and in the coupon settings don’t set a discount amount.

    Cheers

  2. George, that DOES NOT still answer the question. I want the shipping to have a “O” value,

    As seen here: http://awesomescreenshot.com/09c5qceh6e in woocommerce, this coupon is set to “0” BUT the “Allow Free Shipping” is checked off. This coupon will allow NO shipping to be charged and this is what I want, how do I do this?

  3. Hi Steve,

    Depending on the amount of shipping you use on your store, you should put that value in the coupon amount. So, by visiting the Affiliates Coupons>Affiliates Coupons, you can set the amount for the coupons automatically created and attributed to the newly created affiliate.
    Also, please have a look at the documentation page on Affiliate Coupons.

    Cheers

  4. You are still not answering the question George! How do you create a coupon in “Affiliates Coupons” that offers free shipping, I do not see a way to do that? That is what I need to know, please advise!

  5. Hi Steve,

    Basically it’s the same thing whether you use a coupon for free shipping or use a coupon.

    Cheers

  6. Let me clarify George!

    See here >>> http://awesomescreenshot.com/0b35p5dgd3 (cart discount = free shipping)

    This coupon that we created at the top of this thread provides FREE SHIPPING, this is what I am speaking about. This FREE SHIPPING coupon option is clearly available with WooCommerce and understood it was available as well with this plugin, please advise?

  7. You can add the cost of the shipping at the coupon amount.
    Is it that what you mean?

    Cheers

  8. George we just purchased the Affiliates Coupons plugin. As I mention at the top of this thread, I show 2 coupons we had originally created manually as follows:

    http://awesomescreenshot.com/0b35p5dgd3 (cart discount = free shipping)
    http://awesomescreenshot.com/07e5p5dm93 (product percentage discount = 5%)

    How do we do the cart discount = free shipping as originally requested?

  9. Sorry no.

    Still though, you can always create images with coupon codes for your affiliates to share.

    Cheers

  10. As i mentioned before you can display to your affiliates their coupons by using the shortcode [affiliates_affiliate_profile show_attributes="coupons"].
    Correct, any newly added affiliates will be considered new as long as they register themselves through the affiliate registration form or they are added manually through Affiliates>Manage Affiliates by pressing the New Affiliate button.

    Cheers

    1. George to clarify, I am aware that the coupon codes can be displayed using the short code on the affiliates page upon login.

      Are you aware of any plugins that can further print these coupon codes? ,,, perhaps the affiliate will want to give them out to possible customers, let me know!

  11. Can you recommend the best way for an affiliate to print out their coupon codes to provide to their customers, please advise!

  12. Thanks George! To clarify,

    – We have just recently added “Affiliates Pro” to our existing site and testing your product
    – We have not as yet purchased the Affiliates Coupons plugin, that is why we want to see the benefits that it offers and related details
    – We will NOT be doing a fresh install of WordPress and Affiliates Pro
    – I presume that once we buy and add the Affiliates Coupons plugin… any added affiliates will be considered new, correct?

  13. So after finishing your testing, you will use a fresh install of WordPress and Affiliates Pro?
    If your existing affiliates will be added manually to the new-live site, then they will be attributed automatically with a coupon.

    New affiliates in Affiliates Coupons are the ones that are added either manually by the admin, or by registering themselves through the Affiliate Area page.

    The approval system i’ve proposed comes into action after an affiliate has registered, either by himself or admin-added, so the automatic coupon will have already been added to the affiliate if the option is enabled in Affiliates Coupons.

    Cheers

  14. George, as we have just been testing, with “test “affiliates, once we go live these will all be “NEW” affiliates.

    Can you please provide a flowchart of how this would work for new affiliate. Keep in mind that we are using your recommendation to approve affiliates that are only in the Affiliates “Group”.

    Please provide the flowchart, based upon the 2 coupon code types indicated in the first communication, thanks!

  15. Hi Steve,

    Sorry but with Affiliates Coupons you can add coupons automatically only to new affiliates.
    In order to show to your affiliates their coupons, you can add the shortcode [affiliates_affiliate_profile show_attributes="coupons"] to the Affiliates Area page.

    Kind regards,
    George
