LifterLMS
AffiliateWP records a commission when someone your affiliate sends buys a LifterLMS course or membership, at the rate you set for it or the affiliate.
A Commission on Every Course and Membership Your Affiliates Sell
When a visitor arrives through an affiliate’s link and places a LifterLMS order, AffiliateWP records a pending referral for that affiliate, then marks it unpaid once the order completes or becomes active.
Each order shows its referral’s amount, status and affiliate on the order screen, and AffiliateWP adds a note to the order as the referral changes.
How It Works
Turn on LifterLMS
Check LifterLMS under AffiliateWP › Settings › Integrations.
An affiliate sends a customer
The customer arrives through the affiliate’s link, and AffiliateWP records the visit.
A commission is recorded
When the customer completes an enrollment, AffiliateWP records a referral for that affiliate.
What You Can Set
A rate for each course
Turn on a course referral rate in the course’s AffiliateWP section, or disable referrals for that course.
A rate for each membership
Memberships get the same AffiliateWP section, with their own referral rate or referrals turned off.
Affiliate coupons
Link a LifterLMS coupon to an affiliate on its AffiliateWP tab, and every order that uses it credits them.
Order notes and details
The LifterLMS order screen shows the referral’s amount, status and affiliate, with a note each time it changes.
Payment plan renewals Pro
With the Recurring Referrals addon, each recurring payment on a LifterLMS order earns a new commission.
Refunds and cancellations
A refunded, cancelled, expired or trashed order rejects its commission, as long as you haven’t paid it yet.
