Yes, you can use the hooks to create a solution. However, it’s probably better to use the following stripe payments plugin which has a built-in integration:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/stripe-payments/
Can a developer integrate commissions on recurring billing through STRIPE?
@Bridget, yes we have an integration with them:

We also have integration with WP eMember, S2Mmeber, Membermouse, Wishlist Members, Optimize Member, Simple Membership.
Hi,
Can this plugin integrate with different membership plugin e.g. paid membership pro? I want to be able to track member signups through afilliates.
Thanks.
@Ryan, You basically need most of the architecture of this plugin to handle any kind of affiliate referral tracking. What you are after is lead capturing. We have a few different Gravity forms integration options that you can find in the integration section of the documentation:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/
I need probably one percent of what this plugin does, can you confirm our case?
We want to use an affiliate link to send people to gravity forms. Then if the visitor uses the form, we know who sent them. We have no checkout/shopping cart/just emails to our inbox. And just need to know who sent them.
I figure your plugin is a bit too much, but there are not a lot of options.
Thank you
@Douglas, That is something your e-commerce/shopping cart solution handles. Our affiliate plugin is for tracking affiliate referral and commission.
Hello
When someone buys a digital item from say, a catalogue page, and they are taken to the cart is there a link to take them back to the catalogue page so they can add another item to the cart and so on until they check out?
@Shade, It is already built into the plugin. When your affiliates create an account, they get signed up to the autoresponder (mailchimp, aweber, getresponse) list that you specify.
How exactly is this done? Is this feature already built-in to the plugin? Is there an add-on for this? Can you please clarify?
Thanks.
@Shade, yeah you can signup your affiliates to an autoresponder list (Mailchimp, Aweber etc.) automatically.
Is there a way to add new affiliates to an email auto-responder list? (Mailchimp, Aweber,etc.)?
