Affiliate Program For WordPress - How To Use AffiliateWP [Tutorial]

[@gateviews]

This was a tough pill to swallow after buying a bunch of Black Friday deals but several other affiliate guys confirmed your review of AffiliateWP so I purchased it through your link despite not doing all the homework that more time would've allowed. Thanks for a great review Dave, and for the additional background information.

[@dave-swift]

Glad to hear it was helpful, Steven. Good luck launching a successful affiliate program. The hardest part is definitely recurring high quality affiliates! Good luck.

[@tackledaddyfishing266]

Nice to see someone who is articulate and understands his technology put together such a good video. it was great that you covered whats inside, and even better that you demystified what some buttons may mean to newbies. Thanks for your time and efforts.

[@dave-swift]

Thanks TD! I’m grateful you took the time to comment. 👍

[@torreymoreno4070]

Incredibly comprehensive review. Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@borisgraefe]

I'm happy that they offer this as a lifetime deal. Good to know that I bought something cool. On Black Friday there is not much time to do a long research on all these tools. So just buying something what is the industry standard makes then the decision much more easy. Good review as always.

[@dave-swift]

Congrats on the purchase, Boris! Thanks for the comment. 👍

[@JacksonDeanChase]

Great review, but also great affiliate program management tips that apply regardless of which affiliate software you use. Thanks, Dave!

Thank you. Very helpful. This product is now on my "eventually acquire" list. Hopefully I will remember to come back and use your link when the day and time comes. :-)

[@dave-swift]

Glad to help! I'll be launching more content on AffiliateWP later this year :)

[@spreadthegarden]

@@dave-swift Looking forward to it. I'm estimating early next year I may need an affiliate management tool, but it could happen sooner. But I'm stocking up knowledge.

[@julioirawan]

How can the affiliates input bank account number? (in case of not using paypal, because it is not supported in my country)

[@LearnFastic]

Excellent walkthrough, thank you Dave.

[@dave-swift]

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. I'm going to make an update to this video soon as they have some cool new things in beta right now. 👍

[@diginasa]

Thank you for your valuable time and knowledge that you shared.

[@dave-swift]

You’re welcome!

[@dustinhogg6545]

Does this work with multivendor marketplace themes. So can my vendors have affiliates signing up to their own products?

[@JCGwebServices]

Great video! Appreciated! Haven't been able to digest it all but this is my question. I have a small company that does Web Development and services around that. Do you think that I can use this plugin? Thanks!

[@dave-swift]

You mean to get people to refer you business? Absolutely, even if you don't offer online checkouts you can tie referrals to lead generation forms.

[@AI-Alessandro-Intelligence]

@@dave-swift Cool! Thanks!

[@dave-swift]

Any time, good luck!

[@kellanheijkant9114]

How do I set up. That people can only access my affiliate program with a monthly payment and how do I set up that when they stop the monthly payment that they don't have access to the program anymore?

[@dave-swift]

Hey there! It sounds like you want to create a paid affiliate program where people can only access it through a monthly subscription and lose access once they stop paying. While AffiliateWP doesn't have this exact functionality built-in, you can definitely achieve this by integrating it with a membership plugin. A popular option for managing paid memberships on WordPress is the Restrict Content Pro plugin (Affiliate link: profitabletools.com/get/restrict-content-pro). These types of plugins allow you to create a membership system with monthly payments and manage access to your content based on membership status. Here's what you can do: Install and configure the membership plugin of your choice, setting up monthly payment plans. Protect access to your affiliate program using the membership plugin's settings. Integrate AffiliateWP with the membership plugin. Restrict Content Pro has native integration with AffiliateWP, so this should be pretty straightforward. Once you've set everything up, users will need to pay the monthly fee to access your affiliate program. If they stop paying, they'll automatically lose access to the program as their membership expires. I hope this helps you get started!

[@EngrLola]

Hi thanks for this video... I joined one big networking company , but they don’t provide members a referral link as they use the old fashion registration.. 😂... so I plan to create my own website and wanted to sell a one funnel site for each of my member for easy presentation. I think this tutorials will help me 💕 More power to you!

[@dave-swift]

Thanks! Glad it will help. 👍

[@sumitpatidar7654]

Can we use share adsense revenue on affiliate program?

[@krishnag4]

Does it work for services as well? Especially if the services are not mentioned with the exact price

[@dave-swift]

Sure, you can even have affiliates earn commissions for leads, or at least tie and affiliate to a lead. You’d just use their short code on a form confirmation page.

[@scottsiegel8524]

I run an online local music blog that promotes the local music scene. I sell advertising on my site in the form of banner ads. Mainly my ad sponsors are local bars and restaurants. Some of these ads promote a brands merch. I also want to create an online shop to promote my own brand products as well as the sponsors who offer merch. What would my options be here as far as how to setup my shop and what system to use for the sponsored brand merch. Thanks

[@dave-swift]

Hey Scott, I’m not entirely sure I follow your question as it has lots of parts. If you want to track people clicking the ads on your site and seeing if they make a purchase, the destination site would need an affiliate program, but ads are rarely done on a conversion basis. Typically you’d charge a cost per click or a cost per 1000 impressions. If you want to setup a shop to sell merch, you could have an affiliate program to popular bands in the area, so if they refer people to your site they get a slice for each referral. I was in the music industry for 25 years, so I know how hard it is. Good luck.

[@chenyee4277]

dave can you teach me how to place a individual discount on affiliates account

[@badzodiac292]

Very knowledgable breakdown! Do you have an active affiliate link?

[@MartinKoss]

Great walkthrough. You went over the 'Exclude Shipping' and 'Exclude Tax' but how does AffiliateWP know what amount is the shipping and tax? Thanks.

[@sirephraim19]

Hey can I use wp affiliate for specific products and not all products??

[@marcelotulio]

Thanks for this. I hope it grows my business in the near future. Greetings from Brazil!

[@dave-swift]

Best of luck!

[@damianokon59]

How is the best affiliate wordpress plugin to cooperate with business partners ?

[@dave-swift]

I guess that depends on what you're looking to accomplish and what you're selling. I wouldn't default to use an affiliate plugin with partners. If they are truly partners you'll want to pay them out of payroll or a quarterly draw.

[@3sidesofeve711]

We're mulling this over. we have 4 paid tiers and wondered if AP can give a 50% Bonus for each signup then 5% monthly?

[@manaxtreme.official]

Do you have anymore Discount Code so i can use to buy the program and you can get your referral ? thank you so much

[@grappler185]

I'm using AffiliateWP and their Coupon Tracking feature to offer different discounts on different products. Can we pay out percentage royalties based on the discounted price of the whole order?

[@dave-swift]

Yes, affiliate percentages will be based on the price of the order after any discounts.

[@BeefCurd]

Anyone have any videos on affiliate forms and how they work?

[@dave-swift]

Forms to get affiliate to sign up or forms to credit affiliates when leads opt-in?

[@pakistanbixx4142]

Where is password field in signup from? After successful signup how a user can login because they don't know password

[@dave-swift]

After the user signs up, you'll be able to manually approve them if you'd like. You can also turn on auto-approval. Once they're approved, WordPress will create an account for them and email them login info. They will setup a password during their first login.

[@jj-ip1xg]

does affiliate program work for multicurrency site

[@dave-swift]

From AffiliateWP: There are various WordPress plugins and eCommerce platforms that allow you to show your site visitors prices and costs in their local currency when they come to your website. This capability is known as multi-currency. AffiliateWP allows admins to choose just one currency in the Affiliates → General tab settings. This currency will show in the Affiliate Area for all affiliates. It's currently not possible to show your affiliates their commission earnings in their particular/chosen local currency (AffiliateWP doesn't support multi-currency out of the box). If you'd like to set this up for your site it may be possible with some custom development.

[@akashabhishek7044]

Hi, Curious to know that It will effect on speed of website?? Because its a huge plugin and need to integrate with the wp.

[@dave-swift]

It is super fast, and created by one of the top WordPress devs in the business!

[@ti-inovacaoeombrasil6284]

Can I offer to my affiliates a different percentual per product?

[@dave-swift]

Yes, what you want is the "Affiliate Product Rates" add-on that comes with every AffiliateWP license.

[@naifghazali7837]

Hi, i would like to ask something regarding affiliate wp. If i decided to pay my affiliates manually. how can i ask for bank information during affiliate registration? Because as far as i see, there is no way for me to edit [affiliate_area].

[@dave-swift]

You can create your own affiliate registration form using something like Gravity Forms or Ninja Forms, that way you can ask the necessary questions. Here is the relevant help doc (affiliate) docs.affiliatewp.com/category/854-affiliate-forms-for-gravity-forms?ref=1284

[@naifghazali7837]

@@dave-swift thank you! your info really helps me. Have a good day sir!

[@AnthonyTilahun]

What no one appears to mention about this plugin is, how do you modify the existing questions? There doesn't seem to be any settings to modify this? Do you have to use an addon to do something as simple as this? Anyone knows?

[@dave-swift]

Hey Anthony -- You can create your own affiliate registration form with Ninja Forms (affiliatewp.com/add-ons/pro/affiliate-forms-for-ninja-forms/?ref=1284) or Gravity Forms (affiliatewp.com/add-ons/pro/affiliate-forms-for-gravity-forms/?ref=1284)

[@AnthonyTilahun]

@@dave-swift thanks so much for the reply and that info. Was it easy to create it?

[@taylormcalpine]

Thanks for making this video! Super appreciated the walkthrough on how the program works. Question for ya though, we have a primary product that we are wanting our affiliates to sell but have other merchandise items available in our online store. Through this program do we have control over what items can be counted towards an affiliate?

[@dave-swift]

Yes, absolutely. You can do it on product by product basis.

[@ureshasteam8356]

Hey, Is there any affiliate plugin that provides crypto payouts. Thanks

[@dave-swift]

You can always payout with whatever currency you like, but it would be a manual payout. 99% of companies I'm an affialte for do manual payouts anyway.

[@savivirtual3603]

Thanks for this

[@dave-swift]

No problem

[@ernestsage7930]

Thanks for putting this together. Does Affiliate WP run a multi-level matrix referral system?

[@dave-swift]

It's not a pyramid scheme, it's a reverse funnel.... So do you want your affiliates to have sub affiliates? Is that what you're looking for? There is an MLM add-on that will get you were you want to be: clickstudio.com.au/ref/profitabletools/ That is an affiliate link, as if this matrix could get any deeper.

[@bmp713]

Would AffiliateWP work if you have 100+ businesses, and be able to assign affiliates to any number of these specific businesses/campaigns? Could you build a separate business login/dashboard for each business to view only leads from their assigned affiliates, and see their business specific leads?

[@dave-swift]

You would want to install AffiliateWP on each businesses WordPress site.

[@dejonsed9344]

Hi, i'd like to clarify regarding the affiliate landing page that allow affiliates to earn commission whenever people visit their landing page. example: 1) e-commerce site: hello.com/shop 2) we create landing page for affiliate abc, 123, and so on - hello.com/abc; hello.com/123 - each landing page: have woocommerce component from the admin creation 3) admin assign the landing page, hello.com/abc to abc hello.com/123 to 123 4) affiliates abc promote hello.com/abc and people make purchase from that url. Question is in the admin affiliates overview report, the purchase is not captured under the affiliates. How to solve this?

[@dave-swift]

Hey De Jonsed -- sorry to hear things aren't working for you. Landing Pages that are assigned to affiliates should use the same tracking and show up in your reports. Sounds like there is a configuration issue, try reaching out to support. affiliatewp.com/support/

[@PswACC]

Can you setup AffiliateWP to Payout through Paypal automatically after the users purchased trial period has expired or do you have to process this manually?

[@dave-swift]

You need to process the payments, but it can be mostly automated depending on how you setup your payouts. Here is there help doc with the options: docs.affiliatewp.com/category/1342-paying-affiliates?ref=1284 (affiliate)

[@PswACC]

@@dave-swift I don't see anything showing full automation. It would make sense if the plugin would auto pay your affiliates after a refund period.

[@souravsharma1349]

Indian currency support this Plugin ?

[@dave-swift]

Great question, AffiliateWP works with many cart systems and membership plugins that will support Indian Currency. All the big names are there like WooCommerce & Easy Digital Downloads. You can see the complete list here: docs.affiliatewp.com/category/75-integrations/2?sort=custom?ref=1284

Hi Dave. I have a question about integrating the Woocommerce functionality. I'm using a third party marketplace (iFrame) and acquisition widget on my website. Is there code that I have to install via the third party in order to track the paid transactions that have come in via my Affiliates? Thanks again for the great content! :)

[@zaidsharif2]

Hello Dave, thanks for the video. Can AffiliateWP use for Solar Appointments? requirement is Solar Advocates(Afffiliates) that refers us new customers and we reward them $500 as affiliate commision.

[@dave-swift]

Sure, how automated the process will be will depend on your sales process. You might have some manual tracking if they don't check out online, but you could track leads through forms with AffiliateWP and when a new customer signs up you'd cross-reference their referring source.

[@timheyn5646]

Nice video :) One question: I want to give my affiliates a commision only when the referal make a subcription via Paypal on my site. How can i create the trigger so that the plug-in knows that when the subcription is made, then my affiliate gets his money? And one thing: I want to make recurring payments. But when a referal suddendly stops the subscription will the payout to the affiliate stop as well? Thanks in advance :)

[@dave-swift]

Hey TIM, you'd want to use the Recurring Referrals add-on: affiliatewp.com/add-ons/pro/recurring-referrals/?ref=1284 (affiliate link)

[@bingvoorham22]

Great video Thanks Question Is there an option for the situation that if one of your Affiliates who has a customer who also wants to become an Affilate so your Affiliate is loosing a customer = Commission or is there a solution? Thanks in advance

[@AdrianTatum-h4z]
