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
Payouts
- Record manual and store credit payouts with sequential invoice numbers
- Minimum payout thresholds
- CSV export of everything you owe
- 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

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.
-
Will uninstalling delete my data?
-
No. Your affiliate data is kept unless you first enable “delete data on uninstall” in the settings.

Changelog
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.
- The toolbar is restored for active affiliates on the front end, since WooCommerce hides it from customer and subscriber roles by default. Return false from the ppl_afw_toolbar_restore_admin_bar filter to keep it hidden.
- Minimum PHP requirement lowered to 7.4.
- Tested against WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.0.1.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
