FAQ
How does the plugin track affiliate referrals?
The plugin uses a combination of cookies and unique referral IDs. When a visitor clicks an affiliate's link, a cookie is stored in their browser for a customizable period (e.g., 30 days). If that visitor makes a purchase from your WooCommerce store within that period, the sale is automatically attributed to the correct affiliate, and the commission is calculated.
Can I set different commission rates for different products or affiliates?
Yes, absolutely. Affiliate Pro offers flexible commission structures. You can set a global default rate, but you can also override it by setting a specific commission percentage or flat fee for individual products. Additionally, you can create special commission rates for your top-performing affiliates to reward their efforts and incentivize them further.
Is it possible to manage payouts directly from the plugin?
Yes, the plugin simplifies the payout process significantly. It tracks all earned commissions for each affiliate. From the admin dashboard, you can view outstanding balances and process payments. While the plugin doesn't directly transfer money, it integrates with systems like PayPal Mass Pay and allows you to mark commissions as paid after you've sent the funds, keeping your records accurate and organized.
Does this plugin support Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)?
Yes, Affiliate Pro includes a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) feature. This allows you to create a tiered affiliate structure where affiliates can recruit other affiliates (sub-affiliates). You can configure the system to reward the parent affiliate with a small commission on sales generated by their recruited sub-affiliates, creating a powerful network effect that can exponentially grow your sales force.
