A referral link, a ledger you can explain, and a page in My Account. **A commission is decided once, when the order is placed, and frozen onto it.** The affiliate and the rate are written at that moment and never worked out again. A plugin that recomputes later has you lowering your rate and silently shrinking every pending payout in the shop — including for sales made under the old terms. **Only the goods count, and only a paid order earns.** Commission is worked out on the line items, net of refunds — not on shipping and not on tax, because paying a share of the VAT is paying the tax authority’s money to an affiliate. **One order is one commission — in the schema.** `UNIQUE (order_id)` is not an optimisation; it is the guarantee. WooCommerce fires its status hooks more than once in ordinary operation, and a check-then-insert in PHP loses that race. **An affiliate is never paid for their own order.** Checked two ways — the account that placed it, and the billing address on it. #### Also * An affiliate’s own dashboard on the Affiliate tab of My Account: their link, their visits and their figures — and nobody else’s * A commission is **reversed**, never deleted, when an order is refunded * Applications approved by a human, from one screen #### What it deliberately does not do **It does not move money.** This plugin has no gateway, cannot send anybody anything, and never asks for a credential that could. #### The full edition [Gatemi Affiliates for WooCommerce](https://gatemi.com/plugins/affiliates-for-woocommerce/) is a separate plugin, sold on gatemi.com, that adds a rate for one person, recorded payouts, a referral window of the length you set, and a link to your programme terms on the application form. This plugin remembers a referral for 30 days, credits the first referral, and pays everybody the one programme rate. Both editions store their data the same way — the same tables, the same option, the same cookie and meta keys — so upgrading keeps every affiliate, every link already handed out and every commission earned. ### External services **None.** This plugin makes no HTTP request of any kind. ## Screenshots [⌊The settings screen.⌉⌊The settings screen.⌉[ The settings screen. ## FAQ ### What happens to commissions if I uninstall? They stay. The tables are a ledger of money owed to real people, and they are shared with the full edition. ### Can an affiliate see my orders? No. Their page shows a date, an amount and a status — not the order number, not the customer, not what was bought. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Affiliate Program for WooCommerce – Gatemi” is open source software.
