Enable Paid Member Subscriptions Integration
To enable support for Paid Member Subscriptions, go to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations in your WordPress dashboard. Here, you’ll see options for various integrations. Check the box that says Paid Member Subscriptions and then click Save Changes.
Once enabled, this will allow AffiliateWP to track and record referrals for subscriptions purchased through Paid Member Subscriptions.
Viewing and Managing Referrals
When a customer clicks on an affiliate’s referral link and purchases a subscription, AffiliateWP will generate a referral. In AffiliateWP » Referrals, the Reference column will display the ID from Paid Member Subscriptions, making it easy to track and verify referras.
Per-Subscription Plan Referral Rates
You can set the referral rate used to calculate an affiliate’s commission on a per-subscription plan basis. To do this, go to the edit screen for a subscription plan in Paid Member Subscriptions. Enter the rate you wish to use in the Referral Rate input field. If an affiliate has an affiliate-specific rate, their custom rate will always take precedence over the per-subscription plan referral rate.
Affiliate Coupon Tracking
Paid Member Subscriptions also supports affiliate coupon tracking. To connect a discount code to an affiliate, go to Paid Member Subscriptions » Discount Codes. Create a new discount code or edit an existing one. In the Affiliate Discount? field, start typing the name of the affiliate you wish to connect the discount code to and select the affiliate from the list of user accounts found.
Any time the discount code is used, the connected affiliate will be awarded a referral.
