WooCommerce Affiliate Plugin to Run Your Own Affiliate Program

When a visitor clicks an affiliate link, a tracking cookie is saved in their browser. You set how many days that cookie lasts.

If the visitor completes a purchase before the cookie expires, the plugin reads the WooCommerce order and assigns the commission to that affiliate automatically. Affiliates can also use an assigned coupon code instead of a link.

Yes. Affiliates for WooCommerce has a free version on WordPress.org. The free build covers affiliate registration, referral and cookie tracking, a global commission rate, and manual payouts by bank transfer or PayPal.

You also get the self-service affiliate dashboard, a referral link generator, and admin reports for affiliates, commissions, visits, and top products. That is enough to run a solid affiliate program at no cost.

The free version runs a complete affiliate program: registration, referral tracking, one global commission rate, an affiliate dashboard, manual payouts, and admin reports.

Pro adds commission rules by product, category, or role, plus per-affiliate rates and multi-tier commissions. You also get coupon tracking, automated payouts with WooCommerce Wallet, a creatives library, social sharing, custom registration fields, anti-fraud tools, and visual charts.

In the free version, you pay manually. Affiliates save their bank transfer or PayPal details in their dashboard. You review the commissions, create a payout record, and mark it paid once you send the money.

Pro adds a payout wizard, scheduled automatic payouts, a minimum balance rule, and the option to credit a WooCommerce Wallet balance.

The free version gives you a global commission rate, and you can override it per affiliate on their profile. Pro adds rule-based rates by product, category, or user role, plus a tiered multi-level structure and product or category exclusions.

Yes, in Pro. You build a tiered reward structure from earnings brackets, so an affiliate rate climbs as they sell more within a cycle. It works like a multi-level or MLM setup that rewards your best performers with no manual work.

Yes, in Pro. Assign a coupon code to an affiliate, and any order that uses that code credits the affiliate automatically, with no referral link needed. It is ideal for creators who share a code on a video or podcast.

Affiliates have their own dashboard inside the WooCommerce My Account page, or a custom page you create. They see earnings, commissions, payouts, visits, and top products, and generate their own referral links. They never touch your WordPress admin.

Yes. There is a setting to block self-referral commissions. When it is on, a logged-in affiliate who buys through their own referral link does not earn a commission on that order.

No limit. You can manage as many affiliates as your server can handle. The admin lists include filters so you can find any affiliate, commission, or payout quickly.

Yes to both. Affiliates for WooCommerce declares full support for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage. Referral tracking and commission recording work on both the block and classic checkout, with no extra setup on your end.

No. The plugin runs on a clean, object-oriented codebase and reads standard WooCommerce orders, so it stays light as your affiliate list grows. HPOS support keeps order queries fast even at scale.

Yes. The plugin ships with a .pot translation file and works with WPML, Polylang, and Loco Translate. Every affiliate-facing string is translatable, from the signup form to the dashboard labels and email content.

No. A setup wizard turns the module on and sets sensible defaults, so you can go live in minutes. Every option is a labeled field, and the signup page uses a simple shortcode.

Developers who want to extend the plugin will find clean action and filter hooks plus shortcodes throughout the code.
