Restrict Content Pro - AffiliateWP

Notice: There is no legacy documentation available for this item, so you are seeing the current documentation.

To enable support for Restrict Content Pro, go to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations and check the box next to Restrict Content Pro:

Once enabled, AffiliateWP will automatically generate referral records when a customer successfully registers for your site after clicking on a referral link.

In AffiliateWP » Referrals, the Reference column refers to the membership key in Restrict Content Pro.

Clicking on the Reference column will take you directly to the payment record in Restrict » Payment History.

Note: Referrals will only be credited on the initial signup payment, and will not be created when membership payments are recorded unless you are also using the Recurring Referrals add-on.

Per-membership level referral rates

Admins can set referral rates on a per-membership level within Restrict Content Pro.

This means that each membership level in Restrict Content Pro can have a specific commission rate. This specific commission rate will be awarded to affiliates who refer customers to your site who then sign up for that particular membership level.

When creating or editing a membership level, locate the Affiliate Rate input field and enter your specific membership level referral rate. You can also disable all referrals for a specific membership level (such as a trial membership period, for example):

AffiliateWP settings available on the membership level edit screen.

If no rate is entered, the default rate in the AffiliateWP settings will be used.

Recurring Referral Rates

If you are using our Recurring Referrals add-on to create referrals from Restrict Content Pro memberships, you can now specify custom settings for recurring referrals at the membership level. You can set the recurring rate and also limit the recurring referrals created for recurring payments per-membership:

Recurring Referrals settings available on the membership level edit screen.

Affiliate Coupon Tracking

To enable affiliate coupon tracking, go to Restrict » Discount Codes and create a new discount code. At the bottom of the Add New Discount form, there will be an input field called Affiliate Discount?:
