Choose what information you need from them – name, email, social profiles, how they will promote your brand, etc.

Customize the default form using Elementor Form Builder and Contact Form 7 to get more details about the affiliate.

Configure different commission rates for different affiliates with ease.

While you can set a default storewide commission rate, you must recognize and reward influencers and your customers an additional share for their contributions.

This allows you to set up an influencer program and referral program with flexible commissions.

Provide commission based on specific products and categories, affiliate groups (tags), subscription and renewals, first order, user role, tiered and lifetime commissions.

We’ll soon include a rule to provide commission based on product taxonomy.

The flexibility allows for countless use-cases, making it an incredibly adaptable system.

• Set a default 20% global commission but configure 30% commissions for three specific affiliates.
• Allow a flat $10 commission on sale of formal shirts to all affiliates.
• Flat $20 commission on sale of digital products to your Gold-tagged affiliates.
• 15% commission solely on the first product (mobile) in an order, with no commission on the upsell product (bluetooth headphones).
• Affiliate lead generation program – flat $5 commission for free product download through the checkout process.

Strike a balance between high and low commissions, and make multiple affiliates happy.

Set up a tiered commission plan where affiliates earn commissions on their own sales and also from the sales generated by people they refer to your program.

John referred Lijo to your affiliate program and Lijo to Gifty. On a successful purchase via Gifty’s referral link, all the three – Gifty, Lijo and John will earn a commission.

You can set up a two-tier, three tier, four tier (multi-level tiers)…unlimited number of tiers in your affiliate program.

Affiliate for WooCommerce seamlessly integrates with this WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin, providing versatile commission options for both parent subscription orders and subsequent renewals.

• 30% only on parent subscription (zero commission for renewals).
• 25% for first payment and subsequent renewals until canceled.
• $15 on first payment, $10 for subsequent renewals for a specific product.
• $20 on first payment, $10 for the following nine renewals.
• Zero commission on first order, 15% for next six renewals only to John on your online social media marketing course.

and the list goes on…

Attract more affiliates to your program by providing a lifetime commission or residual earnings.

Affiliates are entitled to a commission on all subsequent purchases made by customers they’ve referred.

Lifetime commissions stand out as a leading strategy for affiliate retention, ensuring the continued engagement of valuable affiliates.

Some users are smart in spotting affiliate links. They will not click on them to make a purchase. Instead they’ll directly type the required URL without the referral params to buy your products.

An alternative to this is to create custom landing pages for your affiliates. They can use these pages to promote your products or services without the need of their referral link or coupon.

Affiliates will earn commission based on the plan you have set for them when a customer makes a purchase through this landing page.

Optimizing these pages with compelling headlines, impactful images, relevant copy text, and compelling calls to action can significantly enhance their conversion rates.

Make commission payouts via PayPal directly from the plugin to many affiliates at once, like a masspay. The plugin uses PayPal Payouts API to make payments.

You can also use Stripe and PayPal to set up automated commission payouts. Set refund period, minimum and maximum payouts amount to control spendings.

Apart from automated payouts, use other payment methods, but only to mark payouts. You need to pay your affiliates manually outside the plugin.

And you can also assign store credit and reward points to affiliates instead of payouts using Smart Coupons and Points and Rewards plugins respectively.

Efficiently organize specific affiliates using tags, thus creating a group of similar affiliates.

Tags help you identify specific affiliates and also assign a commission plan tailored to them.

Utilize default tags and add your own for further customization. For instance, label your top eight performing affiliates with the ‘Influencer’ tag, while label the Dormant tag to affiliates with no sales yet.

Apart from grouping, these tags also aid in locating specific affiliates, along with some predefined labels.

Know which affiliate is promoting what and how well! The affiliate leaderboard shows you, top-performing partners, at a glance.

The plugin automatically links WooCommerce orders with affiliates and updates commission status as order status changes. Pending to Completed, Completed to Refunded…you don’t need to lift a finger.

The product and customer-level performance, order synchronization, conversion rates, and other valuable metrics provide you deeper insights into affiliate’s performance and sales.

There’s also the Visitors dashboard to monitor referring URL, conversion medium, user agent i.e. browser, device, and other metrics per affiliate.

A self-care dashboard (affiliate portal or affiliate area) for your affiliates. They can track and manage everything from their ‘My Account’ section.

Within this dashboard, affiliates can seamlessly generate and customize their referral URLs, request coupons, track commissions, monitor performance metrics, and utilize marketing assets to effectively promote your brand.

You can also show the affiliate’s dashboard on any custom page using a shortcode.

There’s also a ‘Network Tab’ for multi-tier that allow both affiliates and admins to view and manage the child chain for affiliates.

This simplifies the affiliate experience, enabling them to manage and optimize their efforts efficiently.
