Description
Ultrafan is the official WooCommerce integration for the Ultrafan affiliate network. It automates the full affiliate lifecycle inside your WooCommerce store without requiring any JavaScript snippets or external tag managers.
Key Features
- Click tracking — Captures
transaction_id,network_id,offer_id, and all UTM parameters from affiliate landing URLs. Parameters are stored in first-party cookies so attribution survives the entire checkout journey. - Conversion pixel — Fires
POST /conversionto the Ultrafan server the moment an order is placed, with full order details (amount, currency, items, payment method). - COD settlement — When a cash-on-delivery order’s invoice is marked paid, the plugin fires
POST /conversion/settleautomatically. - Refund & cancellation webhooks — On credit-memo creation or order cancellation the plugin notifies Ultrafan in real time (
POST /conversion/refund). - Periodic reconciliation — A configurable cron job (default: Monday 02:00) batches paid orders and refunds into a signed
POST /reconcilereport. A Run Now button in WP Admin lets you send ad-hoc reports for any date range. - Admin transparency — A dedicated Ultrafan Reconciliation menu in WP Admin shows every reconciliation run with status, record count, HTTP response, and the exact date range covered.
- HPOS compatible — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.
