Welcome! This guide helps you set up your affiliate program from scratch. By the end, you'll have a working signup page, your first commission plan, and a clear view of how your partners are performing — all from your WordPress admin.

Prima di iniziare

Make sure the following is in place before you install the plugin:

• Un WordPress website that you manage as an administrator.
• IL Plug-in WooCommerce installed and active on your site.
• Un payment method configured in WooCommerce, so orders and commissions can be tracked properly.
• A hosting environment that supports standard WordPress and WooCommerce requirements (PHP and MySQL).

No coding needed. You'll manage everything from the WordPress admin area using screens, forms, and buttons.

Installazione

1. Nel tuo pannello di amministrazione di WordPress, vai a Plugin → Aggiungi nuovo.
2. Clicca su Carica plug-in at the top of the page.
3. Choose the plugin package you downloaded, then click Installa ora.
4. After installation finishes, click Activate Plugin.

Once activated, a welcome notice appears with a link to the Procedura guidata di configurazione. This is the fastest way to get your program running — continue below to walk through it.

Prima configurazione

Run the Setup Wizard (recommended)

IL Procedura guidata di configurazione is a 5-step guided flow that configures your program's core settings. To open it, click the link in the welcome notice, or go to SkyPlugins → Affiliate → Setup Wizard.

Tip: You can return to the wizard anytime from the banner on the Impostazioni tab, or fine-tune individual options under SkyPlugins → Affiliate → Settings.

Configure settings manually (optional)

If you prefer to set things up yourself, open SkyPlugins → Affiliate → Settings and work through these cards:

• General & Registration — program type (affiliate, ambassador, influencer, or customer referral), automatic approval, terms acceptance, and reCAPTCHA keys.
• Tracking & Referrals — referral code prefix, cookie duration, attribution mode, pretty referral links, self-referral policy, and affiliate-created coupons.
• Payouts & Ledger Controls — refund lock period, minimum and maximum payout amounts, scheduled auto-payout day, and default ledger method.
• Lifetime Commissions, MLM & Emails — lifetime commission rules, multi-tier (MLM) rates for levels 2–5, email notification triggers, and email brand color.

Clicca su Salva impostazioni at the bottom of each form.

I tuoi primi passi

1. Make sure your signup page is ready

IL Pannello di controllo (Sotto SkyPlugins → Affiliate) includes a Getting Started checklist that links to your key pages and settings.

If the wizard didn't create one for you:

1. Apri il Pannello di controllo scheda.
2. Trova il Getting Started checklist.
3. Copy the affiliate registration shortcode — a small marker you paste into a page.
4. Create a new WordPress page, paste the marker, and publish the page.
5. Return to the checklist and confirm the page is set as your registration page.

2. Approve your first affiliates

When applicants sign up, they appear in the Affiliates tab:

1. Vai su SkyPlugins → Affiliate → Affiliates.
2. Use the status filters (All / Approved / Pending / Rejected) to view In attesa di applicants.
3. Clicca su Approve on the applicants you'd like to accept.

Once approved, each affiliate automatically receives a referral link and (if enabled) a personal referral coupon.

3. Create a commission plan

1. Vai su SkyPlugins → Affiliate → Commissions.
2. Clicca su + Create New Commission Plan.
3. Pick a goal template — By Product, Category Bonus, Top Performer, Subscriptions Only, or Custom.
4. Inserisci il plan name, commission rate and type, E evaluation priority.
5. Add one or more target rules — for example, specific products, categories, affiliates, order totals, coupons, or customer roles.
6. Review the summary and click Save & Activate Plan.

The plan now applies automatically to qualifying referred orders.

4. Check your dashboard

IL Pannello di controllo tab gives you a live snapshot of your program:

• Total and pending commissions
• Referred orders E referral visits
• Un getting-started checklist for any remaining setup steps
• IL Affiliate Program widget on the main WordPress Dashboard

What's Next?

Once your program is live, explore these features to grow and manage it:

Tip: IL Referrals & Reports tab is a great place to check in weekly. Use the date filters to see referred revenue, commissions, visits, and your top-performing affiliates at a glance.

You're all set — happy launching!

    K --> L[Affiliates see their earnings & growth]
    L --> M[You track performance in reports]
    M --> N[You optimize and grow your program]
    N --> F

1. You set up your program

When you first activate the plugin, a guided setup wizard walks you through the essentials. You choose a business model (like an e-commerce store, a subscription service, or an influencer program), set your commission rate, decide how long referral tracking lasts, and pick whether you want to approve affiliates manually or let everyone in automatically. You can fine-tune all of these later on the Settings page.

2. Applicants sign up as affiliates

New partners apply through a signup form on your website. They enter their details, optionally choose a custom referral code, and accept your terms. If you have approval enabled, their application waits for your review. If not, they're instantly approved and can start promoting right away.

3. You approve your partners

From the Affiliates page, you can see everyone who has applied. You can approve or reject applications, edit referral codes, organize partners with tags, and even import a list of existing partners from a file or another program.

4. Affiliates share their links

Once approved, each affiliate gets a personal referral link and a discount coupon they can share anywhere — social media, email, blog posts, or YouTube. You can also provide ready-made marketing campaigns with banner images and swipe copy, so your affiliates always know what to promote.

5. Customers visit and shop

When someone clicks an affiliate's link, the plugin notes that visit and remembers the affiliate for a set period of time (for example, 30 days). If that customer makes a purchase — even days later — the sale is credited to the affiliate.

6. Commissions are recorded

Every referred order generates a commission record. Depending on your settings, commissions start as "pending" until the order is stable and the refund window has passed. You can review each commission, approve it, reject it, or delete it from the Commissions page.

7. You pay your affiliates

When commissions are approved, your affiliates build up a payable balance. From the Payouts page, you can manually pay them using a variety of methods (like PayPal, bank transfer, store credit, or check), or schedule automatic payouts on a set day each month. The plugin keeps a complete payout history so you always know what you've paid and to whom.

8. You track and grow

The Reports page gives you real-time visibility into your program's health: referred revenue, commissions owed, top-performing affiliates, conversion rates, and more. You can export the data anytime, spot your best partners, and create new campaigns to keep momentum going.

Features at a Glance

Tip: Start with the Setup Wizard — it walks you through the most important decisions in just a few minutes, and you can always change any setting later.

Nota: Your affiliates can only see the Affiliate Dashboard after they've been approved and logged into their account.

Procedura guidata di configurazione

Cosa fa

The Setup Wizard is a 5-step guided walkthrough that quickly configures your affiliate program.

3. Continue through step 2 to set your commission type, default commission rate, and referral cookie duration.
4. On step 3, choose whether new affiliates need your approval, whether to auto-create coupon codes, and select the page that will hold your signup form. If you don’t have a page yet, use the Auto-Create Page pulsante.
5. On step 4, set your minimum payout threshold, attribution rule, and whether to enable lifetime commissions.
6. Review the summary on step 5, then click Finish & Launch Program to apply everything.

Impostazioni e opzioni

Suggerimenti e migliori pratiche

• If you want to review affiliates before they start promoting, keep approval required; if you prefer a frictionless signup, turn it off.
• Choose your referral cookie duration based on how long your customers typically take to decide — longer windows are friendlier to affiliates but may delay attribution.
• Use the auto-create coupon option if your affiliates need unique codes to share, and set your minimum payout threshold high enough to avoid processing many tiny payouts.

Affiliate Management

Cosa fa

Affiliate Management lets you view all affiliate partners, filter them by approval status or tag, and approve or reject applications. You can also edit referral codes, assign tags, and toggle per-affiliate lifetime commission exclusion.

• Use tags to group affiliates by category, source, or promotion type so you can filter and review them more easily later.
• Check the affiliate count next to each tag to see how your affiliate base is distributed across segments.

Affiliate Import Tools

Cosa fa

The Affiliate Import Tools let you bulk-import affiliates into your affiliate program. You can upload a CSV file containing email, name, and referral code, or migrate existing partners directly from AffiliateWP or Ultimate Affiliate Pro.

• When migrating from AffiliateWP or Ultimate Affiliate Pro, choose the matching option to move your existing partners over in one step.
• After importing, check the Affiliates tab to confirm everyone looks correct — imported affiliates are approved automatically, so no further approval steps are needed.

Suggerimenti e migliori pratiche

• Search by email before creating a new link to avoid accidentally linking the same customer to multiple affiliates.
• Entering the customer’s user ID is optional, but it helps ensure you’re linking the correct account if two customers share the same email.
• Usa Unlink to stop future commissions when a relationship should end, such as after a refund or a change in referral ownership.
• Keep in mind that linking a customer is permanent until you manually unlink them — the affiliate will earn commission on every future purchase from that customer.

Commission Plans

Cosa fa

Commission Plans let you build targeted commission structures for your affiliates through a simple 4-step guided wizard. You can choose from goal templates designed for different selling scenarios, set the payout rate and type, control which plans get evaluated first, and define exactly which orders qualify using a flexible set of target rules.

You can also manage existing plans from the Plans table — edit, duplicate, or delete them any time.

Impostazioni e opzioni

Suggerimenti e migliori pratiche

• Start with a goal template that matches your strategy — for example, By Product for direct product commissions, Category Bonus for category incentives, or Top Performer for your highest-producing affiliates.
• Combine multiple target rules to keep plans precise — for instance, match a product category alongside an order total threshold or a specific coupon code.
• Usa Duplicate to create variations of an existing plan instead of rebuilding from scratch, then just adjust the rate, priority, or rules.

Commissions Review

Cosa fa

Lets the store owner manually approve, reject, or delete individual commission records. Commissions can be filtered by pending, approved, rejected, or paid status so you can quickly focus on the records that need attention.

• Keep cookie duration aligned with your sales cycle. If your products take time to decide on, a longer cookie window gives affiliates credit for the work they put in.
• Use pretty links for better trust. Short, clean referral links look more professional and are easier for affiliates to share on social media or email.
• Decide if self-referrals make sense. Allowing self-referrals can boost internal sales, but make sure your commission structure accounts for it.
• Always click Save Settings after making changes — nothing is applied until you do.

• Use a minimum payout balance to avoid processing tiny, low-value payouts that cost more to send than they're worth.
• If you prefer full control over every payment, set the auto-payout day to 0 so payouts are only processed manually.
• Review your excluded affiliates regularly to make sure the right partners are skipped from automatic batches.

Program Settings — Lifetime Commissions, MLM & Emails

• Keep your personal referral link handy: paste it into your bio, emails, or social profiles so every click is tracked to you.
• When creating a coupon, choose a discount that feels valuable to your audience but still keeps your earnings reasonable.
• Use the campaign banners and swipe copy exactly as provided — they’re built to convert and are already tracked with your referral link.
• Check your Earned and Pending stats regularly, and follow up with referrals before a pending commission expires (if your program has an expiration window).

Referral Link Tracking & Attribution

Cosa fa

Referral Link Tracking & Attribution automatically records visits made through your referral links and keeps a cookie on the visitor's device for a set amount of time. When that visitor places an order, the system credits the right affiliate using methods like first or last touch, coupon usage, direct registration links, or email matching. It also prevents self-referrals when that option is turned off.

Come usarlo

1. Copy your personal referral link from your affiliate dashboard. This link contains your unique referral code.
2. Share the link anywhere you like: social media, email, blog posts, or messaging apps.
3. When someone clicks your link, the system stores a referral cookie on their device.
4. If that visitor completes an order while the cookie is still active, the order is credited to you.
5. Once the order is completed, a referral record is created and your commission is queued as pending.
6. You can track your referrals and commissions in your affiliate dashboard.

These settings are managed by the site administrator under the Settings tab → “Tracking & Referrals” card.

Suggerimenti e migliori pratiche

• Share your referral link in places where your audience is already interested, which helps turn clicks into orders.
• Check the cookie duration so you know how long someone has to make a purchase for you to receive credit.
• If your program uses multiple touchpoints, know whether first or last click gets the credit so you can plan your sharing strategy.
• Avoid clicking your own referral link when self-referrals are disabled, since your own orders will not count toward your commissions.

Marketing Shortcodes — Terms, Banner & Landing Page

Cosa fa

This feature gives you three shortcodes to place on any page: one to display the affiliate terms template, one to show a clickable referral banner, and one to build a tracked affiliate landing page that uses the affiliate's own referral link. Visitors can see your terms, click the banner to visit via an affiliate referral, or land on a dedicated page that greets referred visitors and attributes visits through standard tracking.

Come usarlo

1. Add the terms shortcode ([siskadfowo_terms]) to the page where you want the affiliate terms to appear.
2. Add the banner shortcode ([siskadfowo_affiliate_banner]) to a page; include optional URL and title attributes if you want to customize the banner's image or link text.
3. Add the landing page shortcode ([siskadfowo_landing_page]) to a page, with an optional heading attribute if you want a custom heading.
4. Share the tracked landing-page link with your visitors or affiliates. The banner automatically links to the logged-in affiliate's own referral URL, or to your site home if no affiliate is logged in.

Impostazioni e opzioni

Suggerimenti e migliori pratiche

• Leave the terms content blank to use the built-in default template instead of writing your own.
• Provide the banner shortcode's URL and title attributes when you want a banner that differs from the default referral image.
• Use the landing page shortcode to give affiliates a dedicated page with their tracked link; visits are attributed through standard tracking.
• Share the tracked landing-page link rather than a plain page URL so referrals are recorded correctly.
