About AffiliateWP
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
This plugin requires AffiliateWP 2.6+. It will NOT function without it.
This add-on adds a new area to the affiliate’s dashboard that allows a logged-in affiliate to see specific information about the order that their referral generated. Currently it works with both Easy Digital Downloads and WooCommerce.
Features:
- Affiliates can see order details for each referral they generated from their affiliate dashboard
- Globally enable access to the order details for all affiliates
- Enable access on a per-affiliate level to the order details
- Send an email to the affiliate with the order details included
- Disable specific information from showing to the affiliate
- A [affiliate_order_details] shortcode for showing the order details on any WordPress page
The following details can be shown an affiliate who has access:
- Order Number
- Order Date
- Order Total
- Referral Amount
- Coupon Code Used
- Customer Name
- Customer Email
- Customer Phone (only available in WooCommerce)
- Customer Shipping Address (only available in WooCommerce)
- Customer Billing Address (only available in WooCommerce)
These can also be easily turned off via a simple filter (see FAQ tab). In addition to disabling the information that is shown, you can customize the layout by editing the dashboard-tab-order-details.php template file from your child theme.
The affiliate will also be emailed these details at the time the referral was created.
