AdvocateLoop is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by advocateloop.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
AdvocateLoop is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by advocateloop — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How AdvocateLoop works
Show full descriptionShow less
Turn one customer into the next.
Your customers already recommend you — AdvocateLoop turns that word-of-mouth into a growth channel you can measure. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your AdvocateLoop account and handles the WordPress side of that: capturing referrals from incoming links, and rendering share and claim widgets wherever you place them.
The plugin is intentionally lightweight. It attributes incoming referrals, renders widget containers via shortcodes, and reports the events your AdvocateLoop account needs. The referral rules, reward calculation, eligibility, and notification emails all live in your AdvocateLoop account — so there’s nothing to configure on your server beyond connecting the two.
What the base plugin does
Referral attribution you can trust — credits each visit to the right advocate server-side, not with cookie guesses that leak.
Share & claim widgets — drop widgets anywhere with shortcodes: [advocate_loop_widget], [advocate_loop_share], [advocate_loop_claim], and [advocate_loop_share_buttons].
Works on any WordPress site — no store or ecommerce platform required.
Your branding — widgets follow the brand colors, logo, and domain set in your AdvocateLoop account.
Built to extend — checkout add-ons like AdvocateLoop for WooCommerce slot in automatically, with no setup.
Optional add-on: track store orders The base plugin covers WordPress-level tracking (widgets, shortcodes, and visit attribution). If you run a store and want to track orders, install the matching free add-on alongside this plugin:
AdvocateLoop for WooCommerce — a separate free add-on that adds order tracking for WooCommerce stores. Its features are documented with that add-on.
Add-ons require this base plugin to be installed and active. When an add-on is active it adds its own tab under the AdvocateLoop menu; deactivate it and the tab is removed automatically. The base plugin works fully on its own without any add-on.
Requirements
WordPress 5.8 or higher
PHP 7.4 or higher
An AdvocateLoop account (a free tier is available). The plugin shows a setup notice until you enter your API Key and Brand ID.

External Services This plugin connects to AdvocateLoop, a third-party referral service, and cannot function without it — all referral logic, attribution, and reward calculation happen in the AdvocateLoop service rather than on your site.
To render widgets and attribute referrals, the plugin loads AdvocateLoop’s widget script in the visitor’s browser. Data is sent to AdvocateLoop in two situations:
From your WordPress admin: your API Key and Brand ID, to verify the connection and load your account data.
From a visitor’s browser: when a page loads, a visitor identifier is requested; if the visit includes a referral, the referral code and landing page are sent so the visit can be attributed. When a visitor uses a share widget, the contact details they enter (such as name and email) are sent to create their advocate record and return a share link.
