YITH WooCommerce Affiliates allows you to create affiliate profiles and grant your affiliates earnings each time someone purchases from their link.

== Description ==

YITH WooCommerce Affiliate allows you to run a powerful affiliate campaign to drive traffic to your shop, get new customers and grow revenue.

With this plugin you can easily build partnerships with customers, bloggers, influencers, etc. and ask them to drive traffic to your shop through articles in their blog, posts in their social channels and so on. It’s a win-win relationship because **you will get quality leads, traffic and sales** and your affiliates will earn a commission on the generated sales.

Affiliate marketing is very popular and more than **80% of the online companies** (like Amazon, Zalando, Shein, etc.) **offer an affiliate program** to its users.

With **YITH WooCommerce Affiliate** you can quickly launch an affiliate program in your shop: the free version has all you need to manage affiliates, commissions and check the stats (visits, commissions, conversion rates, etc.)

= Features of the free version =

* Show the Terms and Conditions checkbox and make it mandatory
* Show the affiliate registration form as part of the default WooCommerce registration form shown in the user’s My Account page
* Use the affiliate registration form shortcode to create a custom registration page for your affiliates
* Choose to reject or ban an affiliate and show a message to explain the reason
* Add an affiliate manually choosing from an existing user or by creating a new one
* Get the referrer ID via query string during the user’s purchase
* Enter a name to identify cookies that will store the referral token
* Set an expiration time for referral cookies (in this way, if the visit and the purchase do not happen in the same session, commissions can still be credited correctly)
* Execute an AJAX call to set up affiliate cookies whenever the system finds a referral query string in the URL
* Enable the affiliate dashboard in a specific endpoint inside the My Account page
* Create a custom affiliate dashboard page using the shortcode
* In their dashboard, affiliates can easily monitor visits, commissions and the status of each payment received
* Allow affiliates to share their referral link on social media
* Set a default commission rate for all affiliates
* Prevent affiliates from getting commissions from their own purchases
* Exclude taxes and discounts from commissions

= Features of the premium version =

The free version of our plugin works like a charm, but the premium one is even more interesting.

By upgrading to the premium version, you can:

* Create a custom advanced form for your affiliate registration process: add unlimited fields to the form, such as Website or Blog URL, Links of their social channels, a small bio, etc. Ask anything you want and choose which fields are mandatory
* Automatically approve all affiliates after their registration to avoid the manual enabling
* Exclude specific products, categories or tags from affiliates commissions
* Exclude specific users or user roles from the affiliate program
* Register visits and visitors’ IPs
* Assign coupons to affiliates: the affiliate can use the coupon to promote your site and each order that uses the coupon will generate a commission for him/her
* Override the default commission rate and set a different rate for specific users, user roles or products
* Pay commissions automatically when the affiliate reaches a threshold; on a specific day of the month (e.g. each 1st day of the month); on a specific day of the month, only if the threshold is achieved; or schedule a daily payment
* Let affiliates ask for the payment of their commissions (and upload or generate invoices for their withdrawal requests)
* Set a minimum and maximum amount for the withdrawal request
* Affiliates can get an email notification when a new commission is generated
* Affiliates can get an email notification when a commission is paid
* Pay commissions through PayPal, PayPal Payout (with YITH PayPal Payouts for WooCommerce), Stripe (with YITH Stripe Connect for WooCommerce) or Account Funds (with YITH WooCommerce Account Funds)
* Send an email to the admin when a payment is issued
* Monitor advanced reports (visits, commissions, earnings, popular affiliates, popular products, etc.) in the new integrated dashboard
* Detailed report of visits generated from referrers in a summary table with the main information and their conversion status
* Access to the affiliate’s detail page from the affiliates table to check the affiliate’s personal info, commissions, statistics, etc.
* Associate an order with a specific affiliate
* Replace the referral cookie if another referral link is visited
* Save cookies history
* Choose to delete the affiliate cookie after the user’s checkout
* Set the time lapse after which the same user’s visit with same referrer ID counts as a new visit
* Automatically delete the visits log after a specific time interval
* Export commissions and affiliates into a CSV file
