  1. It’s a pity that none of the new features included the integration support for UserPro. Not sure how long it will take for that to be released but hopefully I’ll still be alive when it does.

    I do love many of the features that you’ve included in this release though, URL Campaign Tracking is extremely useful.

  2. Great job, appreciate the continued development, especially when it comes to WooCommerce elements.

    So now that we have the option to credit the last referrer, does that mean the default is (and was) 1st referrer got the credit (based on cookie duration), and the only way to override either selection would be a referrers coupon code overriding the cookie?

    1. The default is (and will remain) the first referrer, except when using coupons.

      Affiliate coupon codes override the referrer, regardless of which setting is used.

  3. Any plans to disallow affiliate referrals from sources we seem inappropriate? For example we know a specific Facebook URL where our payment rules disallow referrals and we cannot see that a referral came from that URL or a list of disallowed url’s.

  5. Hey guys I am trying to find a plugin that you work with or a setting amongst your system that gives the administrator and affiliate a statistics/ back office that is more astetically pleasing to the eye.

    thanks and bear with me, I’m new.

    1. Hi John,

      Have you already used our system and are now asking if there is an improved reporting area or are you asking if ours is aesthetically pleasing?
