Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP

Give Your Affiliates More Reasons to Promote

Your affiliates already earn commissions when they generate sales. But what if you could give them another reason to keep promoting, reach the next milestone, and earn even more?

Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP adds a flexible incentive layer to AffiliateWP, allowing store owners to automatically create separate bonus referrals when affiliates achieve specific goals.

Reward the behaviors that matter to your business from generating higher-value orders to reaching sales milestones and bringing new affiliates into your program.

More opportunities for affiliates to earn. More reasons to promote. More ways to incentivize sales.

Turn Affiliate Performance Into More Opportunities

With Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP, you can create targeted incentives around the results you want your affiliates to achieve.

For example:

• Reward an affiliate when a referred order exceeds a specific value.
• Give an extra bonus when an affiliate reaches 5, 10, or 25 qualifying orders.
• Create weekly, monthly, or yearly affiliate milestones.
• Reward newly approved affiliates with a signup bonus.
• Create multiple order-value tiers with different bonus rewards.
• Reward affiliates without changing their standard AffiliateWP commission.

Instead of relying only on a standard commission, give your affiliates clear goals they can work toward and additional opportunities to earn.

Reward Higher-Value Orders

Want your affiliates to focus on promoting products, packages, or offers that generate larger orders?

Create order-value bonus rules based on the value of an affiliate-referred order.

You can reward qualifying orders with:

• A fixed bonus amount
• A percentage of the order value
• A percentage of the normal affiliate commission

You can also configure multiple tiers and conditions such as:

• Greater than
• Greater than or equal to
• Between

For example:

• $250+ order → $10 bonus
• $500+ order → $25 bonus
• $1,000+ order → percentage-based bonus

Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and the first matching condition wins.

Create Affiliate Milestones

Give your affiliates something to aim for beyond their normal commissions.

Create milestones such as:

• 5 qualifying orders → bonus
• 10 qualifying orders → larger bonus
• 25 qualifying orders → bigger reward

Milestones can be evaluated across:

• All-time activity
• Weekly periods
• Monthly periods
• Yearly periods

This makes the plugin useful for ongoing affiliate incentives as well as short-term campaigns and performance challenges.

Welcome New Affiliates With a Bonus

Your affiliate relationship starts when they join your program.

With Sign Up Bonus, you can automatically create a bonus referral when a new affiliate account becomes active.

Give new affiliates an additional incentive from the beginning and make joining your affiliate program more rewarding.

Reward More Without Changing Normal Commissions

Increasing your standard commission rate means increasing what you pay on every qualifying referral.

Bonus Referrals gives you another approach.

Your affiliates continue receiving their normal AffiliateWP referral. When a configured bonus condition is met, the plugin creates an additional, separate bonus referral.

This means you can introduce targeted performance incentives without modifying your existing normal referral commission structure.

Keep Bonus Referrals Separate

Bonus Referrals for AffiliateWP does not replace or modify the normal referral.

Instead, bonus rewards are created as separate referral records.

This gives you a clear distinction between:

• Normal AffiliateWP commissions
• Performance-based bonus referrals

Bonus referral statuses can also synchronize with their associated normal referral.

Give Affiliates a Dedicated Bonus Profile Page

Let your affiliates see exactly where they stand with the [affwp_bonus_profile] shortcode.

Add it to any page or post to display a personal bonus dashboard for each logged-in affiliate. The shortcode reads live data from AffiliateWP and your plugin settings, so everything your affiliates see is always current.

The profile page shows:

• A milestone track with all configured milestones in order — completed ones show the earned amount and date, the next target shows a live progress bar with the number of orders remaining, and future milestones show how far away they are.
• This month’s order count and bonus earnings, plus a nudge when the affiliate is within 5 orders of their next milestone.
• Sign up bonus status and earned date, if the sign up bonus is enabled in your settings.
• The affiliate’s last 10 bonus referrals with type, date, and amount.

Guests and non-affiliates see nothing — no error messages, no visible output.
