FlyAffiliate gives every affiliate a referral link and a dashboard, and gives you a commission ledger that knows the difference between money earned, money owed and money paid. [FlyAffiliate](https://github.com/weDevsOfficial/flyaffiliate) is a standalone affiliate- marketing plugin for WordPress that integrates with the platforms you sell on, WooCommerce first, made by [weDevs](https://wedevs.com/) — the team behind Dokan, WP User Frontend and weMail. It runs an affiliate programme the way a store owner actually runs one: someone applies, you approve them, they share a link, orders come in, commissions mature once the order has settled, and you pay people in batches through whatever channel you already use. Everything happens on your own site. FlyAffiliate sends nothing anywhere unless you choose to share usage data, and stores nothing that identifies a visitor: a visit keeps only a salted hash of the IP address and user agent (see Privacy below). #### How it works 1. **An affiliate joins.** Through the registration form on your site (email-only signup with a one-time activation link) or because you added them from the admin. Every affiliate is a WordPress user with the **Affiliate** role. 2. **They share their link.** Each affiliate gets a referral link; add `?affiliate =ID` to any product URL to send visitors straight to it. A visit is recorded and a first-party cookie remembers who sent them. 3. **An order comes in.** FlyAffiliate creates one **pending** commission per order item, at the product’s rate or your default rate, clamped to the maximum you allow. 4. **The commission follows the order.** It becomes **unpaid** the moment the order is paid; an order that fails, is cancelled or (optionally) refunded rejects it; an order that recovers puts it back. 5. **You pay in batches.** A payout turns every unpaid commission into one payment per affiliate. Send the money your way, mark each payment paid, export the batch as CSV. #### For store owners * **Per-item commissions**, not per order — a mixed cart pays the right amount on the right products. * **A rate hierarchy**: product default, clamped to a maximum, with shipping and tax excluded unless you say otherwise. * **A hold period** that keeps an unpaid commission out of payouts until enough time has passed to be sure the order stays paid. * **Commission statuses that follow the order**, as in the affiliate tools you may already know: pending, unpaid, paid, rejected. * **Two-step payouts**: create a payout, send the money, mark it paid. A commission inside a payment is never deleted or moved by an order; you can still correct it, and an unpaid payment follows. * **Hand-entered commissions** for bonuses, corrections and offline sales, with the same fields you would expect: affiliate, amount, reference, origin, date, type and status. * **Admin screens** for affiliates, commissions, visits, payouts and settings, plus a dashboard with the figures that matter and a notice when an application is waiting. * **A setup wizard** that asks for the three numbers a programme needs: default rate, maximum rate, hold period. #### For affiliates * **A frontend dashboard** (`[flyaffiliate_dashboard]`) with their referral link, balance, commissions, visits and payouts. * **A registration form** (`[flyaffiliate_register]`) that needs only an email address. * **Self-referral protection**, so nobody earns a commission on their own order— unless you allow it. #### Built to be extended FlyAffiliate mirrors the architecture of Dokan: a dependency-injection container, service providers, manager classes, overridable templates, a REST API under `flyaffiliate/ v1` for every resource, and `flyaffiliate_` hooks throughout. The admin and the affiliate dashboard are React applications on weDevs’ plugin UI kit. A Dokan integration— where the vendor, not the marketplace, funds the commission — is in development. #### Privacy FlyAffiliate stores no personal data about a visitor. A visit record keeps a **hashed** IP address and a **hashed** user agent — salted with your site’s own key, not reversible, and not portable to another site. Attribution uses one first-party cookie, `flyaffiliate_ref`, which holds two numbers: the affiliate id and the visit id. It is `HttpOnly`, it is never shared with anyone, and its lifetime is the attribution window you configure — 30 days by default. #### Usage data (Appsero) FlyAffiliate uses the [Appsero](https://appsero.com) SDK to collect usage data, ** only once you allow it**. This helps us troubleshoot problems faster and make product improvements. The SDK **sends nothing by default.** It starts only when an administrator turns on **Share Essentials** in the setup wizard or clicks **Allow** on its admin notice. From then on it sends, once a week, to Appsero (`api.appsero.com`): your site’s name and URL, the first administrator’s name and the site’s admin email address, the server environment (PHP, MySQL, server and WordPress versions, memory limit, debug mode), the site language, the active theme, the number of users per role and of active and inactive plugins, how many affiliates and commissions you have, whether FlyAffiliate Pro is active, and the WooCommerce and FlyAffiliate versions. Nothing about your affiliates or your visitors is sent. To include the server’s public IP address, the SDK first asks [icanhazip.com](https://icanhazip.com/), a service run by Cloudflare ([privacy policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/)). Choosing **No thanks**, or leaving Share Essentials off, tells Appsero only that this site declined. When you deactivate the plugin, a form asks why: **Submit & Deactivate** sends your answer with the data above, **Skip & Deactivate** sends nothing. Learn more about [how Appsero collects and uses this data](https://appsero.com/privacy-policy/). #### Contribute FlyAffiliate is developed in the open on [GitHub](https://github.com/weDevsOfficial/flyaffiliate). Bug reports, pull requests and ideas are welcome there. The JavaScript and CSS shipped in `assets/` are compiled from the TypeScript and SCSS sources under `src/` in that repository; `npm run build` reproduces them. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard with referral revenue, net revenue, payouts, conversion rate and your most valuable affiliates at a glance.⌉⌊Dashboard with referral revenue, net revenue, payouts, conversion rate and your most valuable affiliates at a glance.⌉[ Dashboard with referral revenue, net revenue, payouts, conversion rate and your most valuable affiliates at a glance.

Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/flyaffiliate`, or install it through ** Plugins Add New**. 2. If you sell with WooCommerce, have it active: FlyAffiliate creates commissions from its orders. 3. Activate the plugin. The Affiliate Dashboard and Affiliate Registration pages are created for you. 4. Follow the setup wizard, or go to **FlyAffiliate Settings** and set your default commission rate, your maximum rate and the hold period. ## FAQ ### Q. Do I need WooCommerce? A. No. Affiliates, referral links, visits, commissions you record by hand and payouts all work on WordPress alone. Commissions from orders come from WooCommerce today, and its integration switches on by itself when WooCommerce is active. More platforms are planned. ### Q. Do affiliates get a user role? A. Yes. Every affiliate’s user carries the **Affiliate** role (`flyaffiliate_affiliate`), so you can filter them on the Users screen. The role grants nothing beyond reading the site; whether someone is an affiliate, and whether they are active, is decided on the FlyAffiliate Affiliates screen. Giving a user the role on their profile makes them an active affiliate. ### Q. How is a commission calculated? A. Per order item. The rate is resolved from the product, then your global default, and is always clamped to the maximum rate you set. Shipping and tax are excluded from the amount the rate applies to, unless you turn that off. ### Q. When does a commission become payable? A. A commission becomes **unpaid** as soon as its order is processing or completed( cash on delivery: completed). A payout takes it once the hold period has passed since the order. With a hold period of zero it is payable the moment the order is paid. ### Q. What happens when an order is refunded? A. Nothing, unless you turn on **Reject commissions on refund** under Commissions Rules: then a refunded order rejects its commissions that have not been paid yet. An order that fails or is cancelled always rejects them, and an order that is paid again puts them back. A commission that has already been paid out is never reversed. ### Q. Can I add a commission by hand? A. Yes. **FlyAffiliate Commissions Add commission** takes the affiliate, the amount, the order it refers to, the sale amount, the origin, the date, the type and the status. A commission with the WooCommerce origin and an order follows that order like any other. ### Q. How do affiliates get paid? A. You create a payout from the unpaid commissions, optionally with a minimum amount, and pay through whatever channel you already use. FlyAffiliate records one payment per affiliate, you mark each one paid once the money has gone, and the batch exports as CSV. There is no automated transfer in this version. ### Q. Can an affiliate earn commission on their own purchase? A. Not by default. Self-referral is blocked, and you can allow it in Settings if your programme works that way. ### Q. Does this plugin use cookies? A. One: `flyaffiliate_ref`. It is set when someone arrives through a referral link and holds the affiliate id and the visit id, so that a purchase made later in the same browser can be credited to the affiliate who sent them. It is a first-party cookie, it is `HttpOnly`, and it lasts for the attribution window you configure ( 30 days by default). No third-party cookie is set, and what the cookie holds never leaves your site. ### Q. Can I override the templates? A. Yes. Copy a file from the plugin’s `templates` directory into a `flyaffiliate` directory in your theme, keeping the same path, and your copy is used instead. ### Q. Does it work with Dokan? A. FlyAffiliate works on any WordPress site. Integrations are optional and switch on when their plugin is active: WooCommerce today. A Dokan integration, where each vendor funds the commissions on their own products, is in development. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “FlyAffiliate” is open source software.
