  2. Paste your license key into the field and click Activate.
  3. A green checkmark confirms your license is active.

Setup Wizard

The setup wizard runs automatically on first activation. It takes under 5 minutes and has no upsells.

  1. Connect WooCommerce — Afflyr detects WooCommerce automatically and links to your store.
  2. Set commission rate — Choose a global default (flat % or fixed $). You can override this per product later.
  3. Configure payout method — Connect PayPal or Stripe, or choose manual payout logging.
  4. Affiliate approval mode — Auto-approve new affiliates or require manual review.
  5. Done — Your affiliate program is live. Afflyr creates a registration page automatically.

Managing Affiliates

All affiliate management lives under Afflyr → Affiliates in your WordPress admin.

  • Approve / reject pending affiliates from the queue.
  • Edit an affiliate's commission rate, status, or referral slug.
  • Bulk convert existing WordPress users to affiliates via the bulk action menu.
  • Generate coupons and assign them to an affiliate in one click.

Commission Settings

Go to Afflyr → Settings → Commissions to configure your rates.

  • Global rate — Default for all affiliates. Set as a percentage (e.g., 20%) or fixed amount (e.g., $10).
  • Per-product override — Edit any WooCommerce product and set a custom Afflyr commission rate.
  • Per-affiliate override — Set a unique rate for a specific affiliate in their profile.
  • Excluded products — Add products that should never generate commission.

Processing Payouts

Go to Afflyr → Payouts to manage all affiliate payments.

  • PayPal mass payout — Select affiliates, click Pay, and PayPal handles the rest.
  • Stripe payout — Send via Stripe directly from the dashboard.
  • Mark as Paid — For Venmo, bank transfer, check, or any other method. Add an optional note (e.g. "Paid via Venmo 2026-03-31"). The affiliate's balance updates immediately.
  • Store credit — Issue store credit directly to the affiliate's WooCommerce account.
