Affiliates for WooCommerce – Affiliate Program, Referral Tracking & Commission Payouts vs Easy Affiliate Cloaker

Affiliates for WooCommerce is a WooCommerce affiliate plugin that turns your store into a self hosted affiliate program. People sign up as affiliates, share a referral link, and earn a commission when someone buys through it. You approve the affiliates, set the rate, and pay them when you are ready. Everything runs inside WordPress. There is no external affiliate network taking a cut of each sale, and no monthly platform fee on top of what you already pay your affiliates. Affiliates get their own dashboard inside the WooCommerce My Account page, so they can check earnings, build referral links, and enter payout details without emailing you. Quick links Free demo Pro demo Documentation Free vs Pro comparison How the referral tracking works An affiliate registers through your signup form and you approve them. They generate a referral link for any page or product on your store. A visitor clicks the link and a referral cookie is stored in their browser. If that visitor orders before the cookie expires, the commission is recorded against the affiliate. You review the commission list and record the payout. Why run the affiliate program on your own store Hosted affiliate platforms charge a subscription and usually a percentage of every tracked sale, so you pay twice for the same order. This plugin keeps the affiliate data, the commission rules, and the payout records in your own database. Commission amounts are calculated from real WooCommerce order totals, so what an affiliate earns matches what the customer actually paid. You decide whether tax and discounts count toward the commission base. What the free version includes Affiliate registration and signup form Affiliates apply through a form you can place on any page.

Both are used in the WordPress admin only and neither is involved in referral tracking, commissions, or payouts. DevDiggers plugin catalogue The DevDiggers admin screen loads the list of DevDiggers plugins so it can show which of them you already have installed. The request is sent to https://devdiggers.com/wp-json/ddwcs/v1/plugins when that screen is opened. It sends no personal data and no store data, only a standard user agent identifying the plugin framework version. DevDiggers newsletter signup If you type an email address into the newsletter box on the DevDiggers admin screen and submit it, that email address, a “newsletter” tag, and your site URL are sent to https://devdiggers.com/. This only happens when you submit the form yourself.

The full source, including src/, webpack.config.js, babel.config.js, and package.json, is available from the plugin page at devdiggers.com. To build from source: npm install npm run build

Easy Affiliate Cloaker allows you to cloak your WordPress pages and redirect to other URLs based on your redirect rules. Cloak WordPress Pages or Articles Redirect to custom URLs Set some redirect rules based on IP, Nation, AS Number (and in the future all other params) Easly view visits and statistics How it works? While creating a new cloak, you will be asked to insert these data: Search and select the Safe Page on your WordPress pages or articles (autocomplete input) Insert the URL of your tracker or Money Page Select the redirect type (301,302,303,307) Insert the redirect rules (you can add or edit rules later) After that, your new cloak is in “Learning Mode”, what that mean? In Learning Mode, all of your users will not be redirected to your Money Page. So you have the possibility to track users data (ISP, Nation, etc) and refine your redirect rules. After that, you can edit your cloak and disable “Learning Mode”. For each Cloak you have the “Visits” section, where you can track users data: IP Address Nation Region City ISP Organization AS Number Mobile (If the user is from a mobile network or not) Device Platform Platform Version Browser Browser Version Redirect (If the user has been redirected) Error (If an error occurred during the IP Geolocalization) Data (Date and time of the visit) Note: due to an API limit, this plugin is limited to 150 requests per minute. After that, your server IP Address will be banned and you need to unban it here.
