Sometimes it can be difficult to convince affiliates to register on your site. This plugin is designed to make it easier for affiliates by offering a sign-up bonus.
How it works
An affiliate registers through the AffiliateWP Register form or manually add affiliates from within admin, and a sign-up bonus will be granted (amount to be set within the settings). This bonus can be described as a referral. “Sign Up Bonus”, which can be viewed from the Affiliates → Referrals screen in the admin. This information will be visible to the affiliate on the “Unpaid Earnings” And “Referrals” Sections of their affiliate dashboard.
When “Require approval” It is enabled starting AffiliateWP’s settings, the affiliate will not receive the sign up bonus until their application is approved. If you manually add an associate from within the admin area, the sign-up bonus will not be created until they have been approved.
AffiliateWP v1.7 introduced an option to manually add an associate (from admin) with an affiliated status. If the “pending” Once the status has been chosen, the sign-up bonus will not be granted until the affiliate has been approved.
If you’re using AffiliateWP 1.7 or higher you’ll also see 2 new fields on the add affiliate screen:
Sign Up Bonus – Allows you to enable or disable the sign up bonus on a per-affiliate basis
Sign Up Bonus Amount – Allows you to set the sign up bonus on a per-affiliate basis, overriding the global sign up bonus setting.
Note: It would be a good idea to include a minimum payout amount in your site’s affiliate terms and conditions or you may have affiliates registering and requesting a payout straight away.
