Order Details for Affiliates addon

The Order Details for Affiliates addon for AffiliateWP allows affiliates to view specific information about the orders that generated their referrals directly from their dashboard. This provides affiliates with transparency and insights into the details of the transactions they’ve helped generate.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to install, configure, and use the Order Details for Affiliates addon for AffiliateWP.

Installing the Order Details for Affiliates Addon

Before we get started, be sure to install and activate AffiliateWP on your WordPress site.

Once you’ve got AffiliateWP installed and your license is verified, you’ll be able to quickly install and activate the Order Details for Affiliates addon.

Configuring Order Details for Affiliates Settings

After installing the addon, you’ll need to configure the access settings for affiliates. This can be done globally for all affiliates or on an individual basis.

To globally enable order details for all affiliates, navigate to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations. Here, check the box labeled Allow Global Access to Order Details. This will ensure all affiliates have access to the order details by default.

If you prefer to enable access on a per-affiliate basis, go to AffiliateWP » Affiliates, select an affiliate, and click Edit. In the Order Details Access section, check the box to enable order details for that specific affiliate.

Additionally, in AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations, you can customize the information visible to affiliates by disabling any order details you do not want them to see.

Using Order Details with the Affiliate Portal Addon

When the Affiliate Portal addon is active, administrators can configure which order details should be visible in the table by navigating to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations. You can choose to display key order details that will be helpful for affiliates, giving them more insight into the orders they referred.

Additionally, administrators have the option to set how many orders are shown per page. By default, the Order Details table will display up to 30 orders per page, starting with the most recent. You can adjust this number in the Orders per Page setting within the same section.

Viewing Order Details in the Affiliate Account

Once the Order Details for Affiliates addon is enabled, affiliates will be able to see specific information about the orders tied to their referrals. This information is displayed directly within their Affiliate Account under the Order Details tab.

Customizing and Displaying Order Details

You can further customize the information displayed to affiliates by modifying the provided template file. To do this, copy the dashboard-tab-order-details.php file from the addon’s template folder and place it in your child theme’s affiliatewp folder. From there, you can edit the template to suit your needs.

The addon also includes a shortcode, [affiliate_order_details], which you can use to display order details on the affiliate dashboard. By default, this shortcode displays up to 100 orders with a referral status of Paid or Unpaid.

To modify the number of orders displayed, you can add the number parameter, for example:

[affiliate_order_details number="5"]

You can also filter the displayed orders by status using the status parameter, as shown below:

[affiliate_order_details status="paid"]
[affiliate_order_details status="unpaid"]

This provides flexibility in how you present order details to your affiliates.
