MemberPress
AffiliateWP records a commission when someone your affiliate sends buys a MemberPress membership, at the rate you set for that membership or the affiliate.
A Commission on Every Member Your Affiliates Bring In
When a visitor arrives through an affiliate’s link and buys a membership, AffiliateWP records a pending referral for that affiliate, then marks it unpaid once MemberPress completes the transaction.
A purchase with a coupon linked to an affiliate credits that affiliate too, and each referral on the Referrals screen links straight to its MemberPress transaction.
How It Works
Turn on MemberPress
Check MemberPress 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 a membership purchase, AffiliateWP records a referral for that affiliate.
What You Can Set
A rate for each membership
Set a referral rate on any membership, or turn referrals off for it, in the Affiliate Rate box on the membership’s edit screen.
Affiliate coupons
Link a MemberPress coupon to an affiliate, and every purchase that uses it credits them.
Turn members into affiliates
Turn on the affiliate signup widget, and paying members see an invite to join your program on the MemberPress thank-you and account pages.
Subscription renewals Pro
With the Recurring Referrals addon, each renewal payment earns a new commission, with its own rate and an optional limit for each membership.
Refunds follow the transaction
Refund a transaction in MemberPress and AffiliateWP rejects its commission, as long as you haven’t paid it yet.
No self-referrals
An affiliate who buys a membership through their own link doesn’t earn a commission on it.
