   Hi Agus, it doesn’t have URL replication. If the affiliate id of an affiliate is “albert” then the affiliate link will be similar to the following when used with this plugin:

   mysite.com/?ap_id=albert

   At the moment you can only use English but I am working on making it available on all languages.
2. Agus says:

   I’m very interested in your product but I would like to ask you the following questions firs:

   1. Does this plugin support URL replication, for instance if an affiliate whose name is Albert sign up to my affiliate site let’s say mysite.com he/she will have the url replicate in the following format: mysite.com/?id=albert

   2. In What languanges the are plugin available?

   Thank you

   I just bought and installed your affiliate plugin. It gave me an error when I was installing it so I had to manually create all the db tables.
   Anyways,
   I want to use this plugin with Instinct’s WP-eCommerce Plugin can you email me the instructions for that or point me in the right direction.
   Thanks

   @Robert, no it won’t work for any payment processor unless customized. Yes, it can be modified so an affiliate account is automatically created once the visitor becomes a member for the membership site.
6. admin says:

   @Bob, say for example you have an opt-in form on your site that takes visitor’s name and email. Now, you want to reward your affiliates for every visitor they send your way and the visitor fills out this form (the point of conversion). Lets assume that you want to pay your affiliates $10 per conversion/opt-in. So all you have to do is put a small bit of code (I will provide this code) on your registration form so it gets executed when the visitor hits the “Submit” button. This will award the commission for this conversion to the appropriate affiliate.
7. Robert says:

   Can we set this up so an affiliate account is automatically created once someone becomes a member of the wordpress site? And use the same login details? I don’t want users having two sets of logins and getting confused. Plus it would make every member already an affiliate and overcome a lot of inertia from people and hence more would be tempted to try selling if they don’t have to do another step. Please include this feature or let me know how I can do this. Many thanks!!!!
8. Robert says:

   Will this work for any payment processor through Wishlist Member? For example if I use clickbank or authorize.net will this work? How does this differ from idevaffiliate or is it all the same?
9. Bob says:

   Hi Ruhul,

   Thanks for the response.
   Do you mean we need to modify the code, or just a configuration change? In this situation, the value of the sale is also irrelevant.
10. admin says:

    Hi Bob, it can be easily tweaked to make it give out fixed commission instead of percentage of an amount.
11. Bob says:

    Hi there,

    Your plugin looks very interesting. Before I pull out my wallet, could you let me know if you support commission per lead/sale, i.e. a fix amount instead of a percentage.

    Thanks.

    Hi Steven, It’s not integrated with Quickbook. At the moment it generates a text file for PayPal mass pay. This text file has a list of emails of all the affiliates and amount to be paid. I can extend the feature so it generates a .csv file for record keeping too.
13. Steven Diamond says:

    Hello, I wanted to know if the reporting feature integrated with Quickbooks or anything of this nature. How will my accountant access the reports each month to cut the affiliate checks? we are in different States. Thanks,Steven
14. admin says:

    I have sent you the code for tracking conversation. Yes the affiliate software tracks clicks to any wordpress post or page.
15. Peter-Jan says:

    Hi Admin,

    You told me to contacy you for the conversion pixel code. Could you please mail it to me? Thanks!

    FYI I want to add the code after new forum user register at http://www.playersbay.com/forums/register.php. The affiliate program is at http://www.playersbay.com/affiliates/.

    Question: I have to test once conversion pixel is intalled but I assume the WP Aff platform tracks clicks to any WordPress (but not vbulletin) page on my domain?

    Thanks again for the great plugin!
16. admin says:

    Hi Ryan, Yep it will work fine. Each sub-domain is like a different site.
17. Ryan says:

    Hey

    Does it work fine on multiple subdomains? I’m about to try it before buying more licenses but wanted your input.

    Each subdomain will have a different blog and sales plus affiliate handled by that blog. So can this work alright?

    Thanks once again
    Ryan

    @Don, Here are the answers:

    1) Yes, the WP eStore plugin is specifically designed for selling of digital products securely on Auto-Pilot (https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-ecommerce-knowledgebase-523#transaction_cycle)

    2) You can create any type of subscription button with the WP eStore (https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=400)

    3) Yep, the affiliate software works on it’s own.. you just have to pay your affiliates their commission every month or so.

    4) The license agreement for each product can be found on the documentation site.

    5) There is not download limit.
19. Don says:

    Hi there,
    First of all, top job this looks just what I need however, I am a newbe to all this WP stuff so if I may I would like to ask one or two questions (sorry if they have been asked before)

    Ok, my requirement is

    1. I want to sell a downloadable PDF, does your software cover PDF download and is this fully automatic, I want to leave this site on autopilot and start on a new site.
    2. I wish to create a subscription payment for monthly downloads, I see your site does lots of things, is this covered and also is it easy to set up for a newbe like me.
    3. The affiliate idea sounds great too, is that ‘fully automated’? I want to set up sites and forget them as I have said, so I need to ask, sorry.
    4. Again, sorry the newbe coming out here! If I buy this do I then have to buy it again to add it to another site I create or do I just save it and then plug it in to any site I create?
    5. is there a limit to how many down loads can be on a site?

    I have not found anything else that seems as close to my needs as this, looks great, you should be commended.

    Okay, gonna leave it there for now, any further help you chuck into your response would be greatly appreciated, thanks again

    Don.

    So glad I found this! Will be recommending to my clients, thanks!
21. admin says:

    @Ryan, I agree, I am currently working on adding a 2nd tier option for this affiliate software.

    The automated bonus system sounds interesting… I will look into it.
22. Ryan says:

    Hi again,

    Affiliate platform is turning out to be a good plugin but there could be more done to it. Are you still working on it?

    I could do with a multi level or tier program for affiliates recommending other affiliates.

    Also an automated bonus system. I’d like an affiliates commission to increase by 1% for every £100 or more sale.

    Thanks a lot
    Ryan

    Hi Kim, I will send you a test plugin that test if your server can run Ioncube encoded code. Dreamhost should support it (I am sure I have a few clients who use this software and is using dreamhost. I am not an expert in server configuration but I know that most servers have it installed by default so I never had to play around with it. So can’t really tell you how hard it is to laod it yourself.
24. Kim Gillett says:

    I’m not good with code so this might be a dumb question. My hosting company (Dreamhost) doesn’t support Ioncube. I’d have to load it myself. Is this difficult to do or is this a “hire someone to do it” kind of thing? I’d love to buy your store/affiliate package. Thanks, Kim
25. Toetat@Toe Ring Tattoos says:

    Hi
    I just came across your site for the first time and it looks great.This plug in is a great idea and I have it earmarked to use when I am ready. I will certainly recommend it at my forums
26. admin says:

    Yes it does. It applies to every post and page in my site.
27. John says:

    To the previous subject:

    Does this also apply to your Checkout link? The ID doesn´t show up any more.
28. admin says:

    Hi PJ, Yes, that’s right. The plugin tracks incoming referred traffic on all of your wordpress posts and pages.
29. pj says:

    If an affiliate send a click to a page on my site other than the one from the banner but using his aff id, he still gets credited if the click eventually converts in a sale, right?
30. admin says:

    Hi Michael, I sent you an email regarding this query.
31. michael c says:

    If you could get back to me today that would be great. I would like to purchase your affiliate plugin Im just not sure if it will work for what I need. Like I said I will be using the wordpress wishlist member plugin and would like to use your affiliate platform plugin for the affiliate site. I also need to know if i need to purchase your estore plugin along with it to make it all work how i need. I appreciate your time.

    Thanks Michael
32. admin says:

    Hi John, Glad to hear you like the site and thank you for your interest in my product.

    The answer to your question number 1 can be found in the WP Affiliate Platform FAQ

    2) The system doesn’t notify everytime you have a sale becuase sometimes people get annoyed getting all these emails (these days how to stop getting emails in your inbox is a challenge at least for people who make money online). To introduce something that emails the affiliate when a sale is made could be achieved very easily anyway.
33. John says:

    Hi,
    your site offers valuable information. Thank you.

    I am considering buying the affiliate plugin and tested the affiliate program on one of your customers site:http://www.omarket.de (Example WordPress eStore Sites). This merchant even offers his buyers to join the aff.program t receive a 30% commission. My questions:

    1- Is it common practice to encourage prospects to join the affiliate program and receive a discount to their own benefit? Are you allowing this with your program too?
    2- I actually purchased form this merchant as an affiliate. The system did not notify me (as the affiliate) that a purchase was made. Isn´t this part of an affiliate program usually?

    Thank you for your reply.
34. admin says:

    Hi Michael, The simple answer is yes, this is possible but it depends on the membership plugin that you are using because the plugin needs to tell the affiliate software to award commission when it receives a recurring payment from a member. If you are using the WP eMember plugin for your membership site then this is all integrated already as this plugin keeps track of who the referrer was for a particular member at signup time, So all the affiliate commission from the subsequent payment from this member goes to the original referrer.
35. michael c says:

    Hi I am wanting to use your affiliate platform plugin along with wishlist member. Here is what I need to be able to do and I wanting to find out if the affiliate platform plugin will be able to do this.

    affiiates will refer people for a free trial of 2 weeks. After 2 weeks people will enter into a monthly subscription. An affiliate will earn a percentage of the subcription price for each person they refer that maintains their subscription and they will earn this monthly. So lets say the commision amount came out to $1 per person that signs up. If they refer 10 people they will have earn $10 in commission and will continue to earn $10 in commission on a monthly basis as long as those members keep there subscription.

    Will your affiliate platform plugin handle this? Please let me know when you have a chance. Thanks
36. admin says:

    Hi Agris, The “WP eStore” plugin has a multi-site license so it can be used on multiple domains that you own but the “Affiliate Platform” plugin has a single site license which means you need to purchase a copy for each different domain. The following two URLs have licensing details for these plugins:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=479
    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/?p=57
37. Agris says:

    Hi, I would like to know, if I purchase this plugin, can I install it on 2 or more pages?
    Thanks.
    I mean both, affiliate and shop…
38. admin says:

    Hi Guadagnare, It can be but I haven’t tested it myself.. please refer to the 3rd party integration doc on the documentation site to get an idea of the integration overview then contact me if you want me to test it for you.
39. guadagnare con internet says:

    This plugins , affiliate platform, is compatible whit shpperpress plugin?

    thanks
40. Foong says:

    That sounds great. Please let me when you have added the field. I will go straight to your payment page. Thank you.
41. admin says:

    Hi Foong, I will have to add it for you.. I was thinking one text area for “Bank Details” maybe enough because the affiliates can put in the necessary bank details there. The nature of bank details can vary from country to country (eg. some countries require branch code some don’t). Having a text area kind of takes care of that issue since they can put all the necessary details that is required for a fund transfer there.
42. Foong says:

    I notice from the affiliate demo site that there is no fields in “edit profile” like Bank Account, Bank Name and Account Holder Name.

    I am wondering whether I can add those fields mentioned above myself, or you have to add those fields in the form for me.

    The reason for asking is that I wanted to give another payout option to my affiliate than just paypal.
    Thanks.
43. admin says:

    Hi Brad, I could do it. The cost depends on a lot of factors… i will send you an email so we can discuss the scope of this project further and give you a realistic price.
44. brad says:

    Hi
    would you ba able to do a turn key project of installing wishlist membership and your software with a WP template for us ?is so how much would be the estimate cost?

    we will add the contents ,I need only the installaitions

    Cheers
    Brad
45. admin says:

    Update… the affiliate software can now be integrated with the wp-ecommerce plugin when using PayPal as the merchant gateway.
46. admin says:

    Hi Michael, The affiliate software hasn’t been tested with the instinct’s e-commerce plugin. If you really want to use it then you can look into integrating it with the e-commerce plugin. The following URL should give you an idea as to what it involved in integrating this plugin with a 3rd party plugin:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/?p=61

    If you are interested then I can give you a hand.

    Would be very interested in purchasing but need to know it will work before outlaying.

    Michael
48. admin says:

    Hi Kevin, If you plan to use the WP eStore to handle the e-commerce side of things (eg. the subscription buttons) then you don’t need to worry about any code snippet as the eStore will handle it by default.

    The following link should explain the steps involved in integrating this with WishList plugin:
    WordPress eStore and WishList plugin Integration
49. Kevin says:

    Hi there
    I just came across this whilst Googling 🙂 This might be what I am looking for , we are using WishList but have tried a few affiliate solutions that basically did not go well…. yes we have tried quite a few plugins too 😀

    Regarding the small snippet of code . will thi go into the paypal button that we offer wishlist or can we setup a sales button from your estore button that will then tell wishlist we have a new member subscription etc etc

    Feel free to email me off site if needed
    Regards

    Hi, Thanks!

    Sounds good. I’ll try it out. We’re getting ready for the pre-launch of our site for testing. Since affiliates are at the core of our model, and we’re concentrating on WordPress design and marketing, we would like to keep with purity of WP and use an affiliate plugin that is created specifically for WP.

    Your platform looks like what we’d like to use. To implement it on our site I’m hoping we can use a simple sales page created in WP admin. We only have 3 products/services so we don’t really need to whole shopping cart system. Though I can use it on other sites we create for clients.

    I’ve emailed you privately as I have a couple questions I’d like to run past you.

    Thanks for the help!

    Regards,
    Eric
