[New] Charitable Integration for Affiliate-Driven Donations
Struggling to get enough visibility for your donation campaigns? Are you relying solely on organic traffic or one-time promotions to bring in donors?
Many nonprofits face the same challenge. Limited reach often means fewer donations, even when the cause deserves more attention. It can feel like your fundraising potential is capped by how many people you can personally reach.
Now imagine turning your biggest supporters into active promoters who share your campaigns, drive donations, and help grow your impact.
That’s exactly what the new AffiliateWP + Charitable integration makes possible.
Charitable is a powerful WordPress donation plugin that helps nonprofits raise funds directly from their websites. With AffiliateWP + Charitable, you can track and reward affiliates who promote your Charitable donation campaigns.
The integration works with both Charitable Lite and Charitable Pro, so you can track affiliate-driven donations no matter which version you use.
Connecting Charitable to AffiliateWP
Getting started is simple. Once you have the Charitable plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site, AffiliateWP will automatically detect it.
To enable the integration, go to AffiliateWP » Settings » Integrations and check the box next to Charitable, then click Save Changes.
For more details on setup, check out our Charitable integration guide.
This quick connection means you can focus on growing your fundraising and donation campaigns while AffiliateWP tracks every referred donation behind the scenes.
Track Donation Referrals and See What’s Working
Once you’ve enabled the Charitable integration, setting up referral tracking for your campaigns is quick and intuitive. Simply open any of your Charitable campaigns (or create a new one), head to the Marketing tab, and select AffiliateWP.
From there, you can set a custom referral rate and choose a rate type; either a flat amount or a percentage of the donation. These campaign-specific settings override your global referral rate, giving you full flexibility to reward affiliates differently based on your goals.
Referral tracking is automatically enabled for new campaigns, so you can start rewarding affiliates right away. And if you ever need to pause referral tracking for a particular campaign, it only takes a single click to disable it.
We’ve also updated the legacy campaign builder to include the same referral rate options, ensuring full compatibility across all versions of Charitable.
View Donation Referrals Directly in Your Dashboard
Inside your AffiliateWP Referrals screen, you’ll see each donation logged automatically. In the Reference column, you’ll find the donation ID from Charitable, which makes it easy to link every referral to the corresponding donation record.
Clicking on this ID opens the full referral details screen.
And when it’s time to reward your affiliates for promoting your donation campaigns, you can pay them directly from AffiliateWP using Stripe Payouts. This built-in feature lets you send affiliate payouts securely and instantly without leaving your WordPress admin.
Everything you need to manage your Charitable donation campaign referrals and affiliates is built right into AffiliateWP.
You can:
- Track affiliate-driven donations in real time
- Review detailed referral data in Reports
- Handle affiliate payouts securely with Stripe Payouts
Whether you’re running multiple donation campaigns or just getting started with affiliate marketing, the AffiliateWP + Charitable integration makes it simple to grow your audience, build awareness, and raise more for your cause.
