But what if you could give them another reason to keep promoting, reach the next milestone, and earn even more? Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP adds a flexible incentive layer to AffiliateWP, allowing store owners to automatically create separate bonus referrals when affiliates achieve specific goals. Reward the behaviors that matter to your business from generating higher-value orders to reaching sales milestones and bringing new affiliates into your program. More opportunities for affiliates to earn. More reasons to promote. More ways to incentivize sales. **Turn Affiliate Performance Into More Opportunities** With Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP, you can create targeted incentives around the results you want your affiliates to achieve. For example: * Reward an affiliate when a referred order exceeds a specific value. * Give an extra bonus when an affiliate reaches 5, 10, or 25 qualifying orders. * Create weekly, monthly, or yearly affiliate milestones. * Reward newly approved affiliates with a signup bonus. * Create multiple order-value tiers with different bonus rewards. * Reward affiliates without changing their standard AffiliateWP commission. Instead of relying only on a standard commission, give your affiliates clear goals they can work toward and additional opportunities to earn. **Reward Higher-Value Orders** Want your affiliates to focus on promoting products, packages, or offers that generate larger orders? Create order-value bonus rules based on the value of an affiliate-referred order. You can reward qualifying orders with: * A fixed bonus amount * A percentage of the order value * A percentage of the normal affiliate commission You can also configure multiple tiers and conditions such as: * Greater than * Greater than or equal to * Between For example: * $250+ order $10 bonus * $500+ order $25 bonus * $1,000+ order percentage-based bonus Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and the first matching condition wins. **Create Affiliate Milestones** Give your affiliates something to aim for beyond their normal commissions. Create milestones such as: * 5 qualifying orders bonus * 10 qualifying orders larger bonus * 25 qualifying orders bigger reward Milestones can be evaluated across: * All-time activity * Weekly periods * Monthly periods * Yearly periods This makes the plugin useful for ongoing affiliate incentives as well as short-term campaigns and performance challenges. **Welcome New Affiliates With a Bonus** Your affiliate relationship starts when they join your program. With Sign Up Bonus, you can automatically create a bonus referral when a new affiliate account becomes active. Give new affiliates an additional incentive from the beginning and make joining your affiliate program more rewarding. **Reward More Without Changing Normal Commissions** Increasing your standard commission rate means increasing what you pay on every qualifying referral. Bonus Referrals gives you another approach. Your affiliates continue receiving their normal AffiliateWP referral. When a configured bonus condition is met, the plugin creates an additional, separate bonus referral. This means you can introduce targeted performance incentives without modifying your existing normal referral commission structure. **Keep Bonus Referrals Separate** Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP does not replace or modify the normal referral. Instead, bonus rewards are created as separate referral records. This gives you a clear distinction between: * Normal AffiliateWP commissions * Performance-based bonus referrals Bonus referral statuses can also synchronize with their associated normal referral. **Built for AffiliateWP** Already running AffiliateWP on your WordPress store? Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP works alongside your existing AffiliateWP referral system and adds another layer of flexibility for rewarding affiliate performance. You can continue using your existing AffiliateWP setup while introducing additional incentives when you need them. **Know What Happened With Native Logging** Bonus events are recorded using AffiliateWP’s native logging system. Go to **AffiliateWP Tools Logs** to review bonus-related activity. **Give Affiliates More Reasons to Do More** A successful affiliate program isn’t only about having a commission percentage. It’s also about giving affiliates goals, incentives, and additional opportunities to earn. Use Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP to create incentives around: * Higher-value orders * Sales milestones * Affiliate activity * New affiliate registrations * Seasonal promotions * Performance campaigns Give your affiliates another reason to promote. Let them do more. Let them earn more. ### Features * **Order Value Bonuses:** Create bonus referrals when an affiliate-referred order reaches a configured value. * **Multiple Bonus Types:** Award fixed amounts, a percentage of the order value, or a percentage of the normal commission. * **Tiered Order Rules:** Create multiple order-value tiers with configurable conditions. * **Flexible Conditions:** Support greater than, greater than or equal to, and between conditions. * **Affiliate Milestone Bonuses:** Reward affiliates when they reach a specific number of qualifying orders. * **Flexible Milestone Periods:** Evaluate milestones across all-time activity or weekly, monthly, or yearly periods. * **Sign Up Bonuses:** Automatically create a bonus referral when a new affiliate account is approved. * **Separate Bonus Referrals:** Bonus rewards are stored as separate AffiliateWP referral records. * **Status Synchronization:** Bonus referral statuses automatically synchronize with their associated normal referral. * **AffiliateWP Logging:** Bonus events are recorded in AffiliateWP’s native log system. * **Dedicated Settings:** Configure your bonus rules from the plugin’s dedicated settings page. ### Use Cases #### Reward High-Value Orders Encourage affiliates to promote higher-value products, packages, or offers by providing an additional bonus when a referred order reaches a defined value. #### Create Affiliate Performance Challenges Create weekly, monthly, or yearly order milestones and reward affiliates when they reach your defined targets. #### Encourage Continued Affiliate Activity Give affiliates another goal to work toward after they start generating referrals.
