About TELO Affiliates Lite

From the official readme · v3.0.1

Description

TELO Affiliates adds a lightweight affiliate layer on top of WooCommerce without heavy dependencies. Ideal if you want to:

  • Create a unique link for each affiliate (with configurable URL parameter) and track associated orders.
  • Show each affiliate their dashboard with sales, commissions and payout request via shortcode.
  • Manage payouts: mark commissions as paid (with history) or approve payout requests sent from the affiliate dashboard.
  • Create public pages per affiliate (/panel-afiliado/{slug}) with a dedicated template, no header/sidebars, and forced noindex/nofollow.
  • Import/Export your affiliates in JSON (slug, name and commission % only).
  • Use admin tables based on WP_List_Table with search, sorting and pagination.

Features

  • Shortcode: [telo_affiliate_dashboard slug="juan"]

    • Unique link with tracking parameter (set it with the TELO_AFF_PARAM constant).
    • Historical summary: sales, total amount and total commission.
    • Pending: base and commission still pending payout.
    • “Request payout” button with minimum threshold (filter).
    • Payout history.
    • Accessible and ready for custom styles (wrapper class).
  • Admin → Affiliates

    • Add/edit/delete affiliates (name, slug, commission %).
    • Import/Export JSON (slug, name, rate only; no sales or history).
    • Table with search/sorting/pagination.
    • Mark paid (moves affiliate orders to payout history).
    • “Affiliate” column in the order list (HPOS and classic list).
  • Admin → Affiliate Pages

    • List of all affiliates with the status of their public page.
    • Create page per affiliate (/panel-afiliado/{slug}) with template telo-affiliates/affiliate-page.php.
    • Copy URL, open, move to trash, restore or permanently delete (plugin-created pages only).
    • Own “Trash” view + “Empty trash” button.
  • Admin → Payout Requests

    • Responsive list with collapsible orders (chips) per request.
    • Approve (marks orders as paid and creates record in history) or reject (with note).
    • Notices and status control: pending, approved, rejected, no orders.
  • SEO & UX

    • Affiliate pages are forced noindex/nofollow (compatible with Yoast SEO and Rank Math).
    • Crawling of /panel-afiliado/ is discouraged in robots.txt.
    • Dedicated template without header/sidebars and wrapper .telo-aff-page for your global styles.

Hooks

  • Filters

    • telo_affiliates_min_payout (float, default 20.0): minimum commission required to allow “Request payout”.
  • Actions

    • telo_affiliates_payout_recorded( $payout_id, $slug, $order_ids, $amount ): fires when a payout is recorded.

Order Meta Stored

  • _telo_affiliate — affiliate slug.
  • _telo_aff_paid — yes if marked as paid.
  • _telo_aff_payout_id — ID of the recorded payout.
  • _telo_aff_paid_ts — timestamp of the payout.

Shortcode

[telo_affiliate_dashboard slug=”juan”]

Renders “Juan’s” dashboard with:
– Unique link (use the TELO_AFF_PARAM constant to change the parameter name).
– Historical and pending summary.
– Request payout button (respects the minimum configured via filter).
– Responsive history table (CSS-ready classes).

  2. Activate it in Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  3. (Optional) Define the TELO_AFF_PARAM constant if you want to change the tracking parameter name (for example ref):
    `php
    define( ‘TELO_AFF_PARAM’, ‘ref’ );
  4. Go to Affiliates to create your affiliates (name, slug, %).
  5. Create public pages from Affiliates → Affiliate Pages (“Create Page” button).
  6. Insert the affiliate dashboard wherever you want with the shortcode:
    [telo_affiliate_dashboard slug=”your_slug”]

Frequently asked questions

Which URL parameter is used for tracking?

It is configurable via the TELO_AFF_PARAM constant (define it in wp-config.php or in the plugin/theme bootstrap). If you do not define it, the plugin’s default is used.

Does import affect sales or historical payout data?

No. Import/export only handles slug, name and rate. No orders, commissions or historical data.

Do affiliate pages affect my SEO?

No. They are created with a dedicated template without header/sidebars, marked noindex/nofollow and /panel-afiliado/ is disallowed in robots.txt.

Can I customize styles?

Yes. The shortcode and template use wrapper classes (.telo-aff-frontend, .telo-aff-page, etc.). Add your CSS in your theme or in a plugin stylesheet.

Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS?

Yes. The “Affiliate” column is added to the order list in both classic and HPOS views.
