Affireo – Affiliates for WooCommerce

Description

Affireo turns your store into a working affiliate program. Affiliates get a referral link, you get a commission record on every sale they bring in, and both sides see the numbers in a clean dashboard.

Every feature listed here is fully functional with no time limit, quota, or license key.

Referral tracking

  • Referral links using ?ref=yourslug, tidy /go/yourslug/ links, and custom vanity slugs
  • Signed, tamper resistant tracking cookies with a configurable duration (30 days by default)
  • Last click attribution, so the most recent affiliate gets credit
  • Bot filtering, so crawlers never create fake clicks
  • WP Consent API support and hashed IP storage, so you stay privacy friendly

Commissions

  • Percentage or fixed amount commission on every referred order
  • Choose what commission is calculated on: item subtotal, taxes, shipping, discounts
  • Minimum order amount, plus product, category, and user role exclusions
  • A grace period that holds commissions until the refund window closes, so you never pay out on an order that gets returned
  • Automatic reversal on full refunds and proportional reduction on partial refunds
  • Block self referrals so affiliates cannot buy through their own link
  • Per affiliate rate overrides

Affiliate management

  • Unlimited affiliates, with no cap on how many you approve
  • Registration form with an application queue: approve, reject, or suspend
  • A drag and drop registration form field builder
  • Approve applications automatically if you prefer
  • Activity log recording every status change, rate change, and payout
  • A dedicated Affiliate Manager role so you can delegate without handing over admin access
  • An optional email to the store admin for every new referral, switched on under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails

Payouts

  • Record manual and store credit payouts with sequential invoice numbers
  • Minimum payout thresholds
  • CSV export of everything you owe
  • Referral CSV export for any date range and status, straight from the Reports screen
  • Affiliate payout details encrypted at rest and masked in the admin

Affiliate dashboard

  • A front end dashboard via the [ppl_afw_portal] shortcode: earnings, referral links, commission history, payout history
  • A registration form via the [ppl_afw_registration] shortcode
  • Light and dark mode, responsive to 320px, keyboard accessible, and it still works with JavaScript disabled
  • Fully overridable templates so your theme can restyle any part of it

Built properly

  • WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Blocks checkout compatible
  • GDPR personal data exporter and eraser
  • REST API under ppl-afw/v1
  • Translation ready

Pro version

Affireo Pro is a separate, paid plugin for stores that need more control over what they pay affiliates and how they pay them. Nothing in this free plugin is locked or limited. Pro reads the same data, so affiliates, referrals, payouts and settings carry over with nothing to import.

  • Commission rates per product, per category and per affiliate, plus purchase sequence rules such as a higher rate on a customer’s first order
  • Lifetime commissions and WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal commissions
  • PayPal, Stripe Connect and bank transfer payouts, with scheduled automatic payout runs and SEPA XML bank exports
  • Fraud scoring on every referral with automatic holds and suspensions
  • Coupon based tracking, first click attribution, campaign tracking, performance tiers and a multi level network up to 10 levels
  • A creative library with impression and click tracking

FAQ

Does it work with High Performance Order Storage?

Yes. The plugin declares HPOS compatibility and uses the WooCommerce CRUD APIs, so it works with both legacy post storage and HPOS.

How do affiliates sign up?

Create a page containing the [ppl_afw_registration] shortcode. Applications appear under Affiliates in wp-admin, where you approve or reject them. You can also enable automatic approval in the settings.

How do affiliates get paid?

The plugin records the payouts you make, generates a sequential invoice for each one, and exports what you owe as CSV. You send the money using your normal method.

What happens if a referred order is refunded?

Commissions stay locked for a grace period you control (14 days by default), so a refunded order never reaches a payout. If a refund happens after approval, a full refund reverses the commission and a partial refund reduces it proportionally.

Is affiliate payout data safe?

Payout details are encrypted at rest with libsodium and are only ever shown masked in the admin.

Can I get an email when an affiliate refers an order?

Yes. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Emails and enable «New referral (admin)». It is off by default, so nothing changes until you switch it on.

Can I export referrals for a specific period?

Yes. On Affiliates > Reports, choose the dates (and optionally a status) and click «Export referrals in range (CSV)». The Tools screen still exports every referral.

Will uninstalling delete my data?

No. Your affiliate data is kept unless you first enable «delete data on uninstall» in the settings.

  • New: optional «New referral (admin)» email that tells the store admin when an order is credited to an affiliate. It is off by default; enable it under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
  • New: the Reports screen exports referrals for the selected date range and status, so the CSV matches the period you are looking at.
  • Fix: the free plugin now recognises the renamed Pro plugin folder and stands down correctly when Pro is active.
  • Links moved to propluginslab.io.
  • Added Pro upgrade banner on plugin screens. It appears only on the Affiliates screens and can be dismissed for 30 days.

1.0.1 on 21st August 2026

  • New: toolbar shortcut that gives an active affiliate the tracked referral link for whatever page they are viewing, with one click copying.
