Can I set up my affiliates plugin to give a commission to my affiliate members based upon product th

I basically want my affiliates to be “distributors” of my product. They will get a set percentage discount in which a potential customer will come to my site through their link and purchase product. I would like the discounts to already be applied once that customer comes to the site and once they purchase any product, a commission is given to my affiliate. Is this possible?

    Hi @hair0917,

    It’s definitely possible to use affiliates as distributors, but you can only set one commission level that applies to everyone.

    There also isn’t a way to setup discounts that happen per affiliate. The best way to achieve this would be to configure a product to be “on sale” within MarketPress.

    The commissions for the sales are automatically recorded with every purchase. Then you can export a PayPal mass pay txt file to get everyone paid.

    Thanks for being a WPMU DEV member. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

    Best regards,

    I’m sorry but I am a rookie to this process. Can you give me some specifics or screenshots to show me how to configure all?

    …can this be achieved with Woo commerce? If not, when a user comes to my site through a distributors link, can all the product prices display as the sale price?

    Hey @hair0917,

    Affiliates actually doesn’t integrate with WooCommerce, so that discount wouldn’t be possible. And unfortunately there’s no way to control the discount/sale price from a URL. It’s determined per product, and can’t be changed conditionally. So if you set a sale price it will always be given. I’m sorry there isn’t more flexibility here

    We have a walkthrough with some screenshots, that might be useful to you here: https://wpmudev.com/project/wordpress-mu-affiliate/#usage

    Take a look, and let me know if you have any more questions.

    Take care!
