Hey there,

some questions please. We purchased Affiliates Enterprise, Permanent, Products, WooCommerce Integration

1. We wanna use a custom method for our affiliate management, based on a custom method by sales. In our example:

0 to 1000 sales = 5%
1001 to 3000 sales = 10%
3001 to 10000 = 15%
from 10001 on = 20%

Can we work with this

https://github.com/eggemplo/Affiliates_Custom_Method_By_Sales/blob/master/affiliates-method-by-sales.php

if we change it on this way:

public static $rates = array(
‘1000’ => 0.05,
‘3000’ => 0.10,
‘10000’ => 0.15
);
public static $max_rate = 0.20;

2. If this is usable, what we have to insert as a rate for our products inside WooCommerce? We wanna work with this percentage-values for download-products, but with a half of it for all physical products that we have to ship. What´s the right values for that, please?

3. If we use this custom method, is it possible to adjust another solution for special affiliates? For example: if we can work with an affiliate that is very popular and we wanna give him/her 30%, but just for this special affiliate, is this possible?

4. Affiliate Products: Is it possible to work with a dynamic range? We sell online courses with cooperates, and wanna create affiliate-products for them. Is it possible to adjust something like this:

0 to 100 sales = 30%
101 to 1000 sales = 35%
1001 to 10000 sales = 40%
10001 to infinite = 50%

5. Products together with Affiliates for Woo: If we work with this dynamic ranges, it is possible to calculate the product-commision without the affiliate-commision? For example: we sell a product for 100€. The affiliate-commision is about 20% for this special sale. That means we earn 80€. But this special product is also bundled as an affiliate-product and it’s sold more than 1000 times. That means the product-commission is set to 35%. Is it possible to calculate this 35% from the 80€ automatically from the system ?

6. Products together with Affiliates for Woo: If we adjust a product to an affiliate and this affiliate setup a banner on his own website, is it possible:

a. to give him the product-commision together with the affiliate-commision ?

b. to give him just the product-commision without the affiliate-commision ?

c. Can we adjust this from affiliate to affiliate ?

Thanks a lot
Bruno

    Hi,

    2. Is it possible to setup inside a Woo-product something like 1% but to tell the Programm with a custom method that this should multiply for 15 times to get 15%?

    5. what happens if a product is setup to an affiliate as an affiliate-product but a customer purchases it after he comes from another affiliates website? For example: we sell a product for 100€. The affiliate-commision is about 20% for this special sale. That means we earn 80€. But this special product is also bundled as an affiliate-product with a product-commission that is set to 35%. Are this 35% calculate from 100€ or from 80€ ? Can we adjust this ?

    6. Products together with Affiliates for Woo: If we adjust a product to an affiliate and this affiliate setup a banner on his own website, is it possible:
    a. to give him the product-commision together with the affiliate-commision ?
    b. to give him just the product-commision without the affiliate-commision ?
    c. Can we adjust this from affiliate to affiliate ?

    Best regards

      Hi Bruno,

      #1 Yes that would be possible, you could use product meta to set the base percentage and then use a custom method which multiplies the value per product based on the criteria you need to apply.

      #5 It would be the sum of commissions. We are working on an enhanced model which allows to take more complex commissions and accumulative commissions into account, but until that is ready, I would advise to use cautious rates if combined with product rates.

      #6 a) yes — b) no — c) not yet, this is related to my response in #5

      I hope that helps at least a bit, it can get quite complex … if you want to fine-tune this, you could probably base it on a custom method but it really depends on the use case and conditions. If you have any suggestions around this I’d be very happy to take them into account for the enhanced commission model we are working on.

      Cheers

    Hi,
    you can use the github code as reference.
    2.- To check if a product is downloadable, you have the is_downloadable function.
    3.- You can check if the affiliate_id is XXX then set a custom rate:
    if ($affiliate_id == XX ) { ... }
    4-6.- Sorry, Affiliates Products only works with set rates.
    cheers
