Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your answer? Contact us.

Anyone who sells on a WordPress site and wants affiliates to promote it for a commission. AffiliateWP tracks sales from WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and membership, course and form plugins, and your program runs on your own site.

No. AffiliateWP is a WordPress plugin, so it needs a self-hosted WordPress site. On WordPress.com, it works only on a plan that lets you install plugins.

AffiliateWP loads only the integrations you turn on, so your site runs the code for the platforms you use and not the others.

There’s no free trial of AffiliateWP, but every new purchase is covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee. If it isn’t right for you, contact us within 14 days and we’ll refund you in full.

Yes. Buy a license that covers the number of client sites you’ll install it on. You can also send clients to buy from us through your AffiliateWP affiliate link, and you’ll earn 20% of each new sale.
