Q: if valid username is given, and no email is provide, the email address will be used as username

On the edit an affiliate screen (I’m manually adding an affiliate), there is a message below the email field that states:

“If a valid Username is specified and no email is given, the user’s email address will be used automatically.”

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE

    I think it was during this that I discovered that a person can be an affiliate without being a user in the WP system.

    then can be an affiliate, and earn commissions, but cannot log in to see their stats.

    a WP user, that becomes an affiliate, can log in to see stats, update info and add a paypal email address (using your specific shortcode that does that).

    I may be wrong, but I dont think this is clear anywhere. I just sort of figured it out.

      Hi,
      Exactly, you can be an affiliate without being a WP user. We are restructuring the documentation, we will consider it, thanks for the note.

    Hi,
    This means that if you enter a valid username and not enter an email, then user’s email is used as affiliate’s email.
    cheers
