Paid Memberships Pro Affiliates

This add-on for Paid Memberships Pro adds affiliate tracking inside WordPress, so a membership site can run its own referral program instead of using a third-party service. Affiliates get custom links and a frontend report of their referrals and earnings, while admins manage codes and view activity under Memberships > Affiliates. It requires the Paid Memberships Pro plugin to be installed and active.

Key Features

• Unique Affiliate URLs – Each affiliate gets a custom-coded link that carries their code in the site URL, so visits and checkouts can be traced back to them.
• Customizable Commission Rates – You can set a commission percentage for each affiliate individually, and it is calculated on the total paid per order.
• Automatic Affiliate Creation – A membership level can be set so that new members who check out receive an affiliate code automatically.
• Detailed Reporting – Admins and affiliates can each open reports showing referral activity and earnings.
• Cookie-Based Referral Tracking – When a visitor arrives through an affiliate link, a cookie is stored for a set number of days, and an order placed while it is present is credited to that affiliate.
• Admin Affiliate Management – From the WordPress admin you can add new affiliates, edit existing ones, and see the full list of active affiliates.
• Frontend Affiliate Report – Affiliates can log in to a frontend page to see their activity, their general links, and their commission history.
• Mark Commissions Paid – On the reports screen you can mark individual referrals as paid; the plugin tracks commissions but does not send the payouts itself.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for owners of membership sites already running Paid Memberships Pro who want to start an affiliate or referral program on their own site rather than through a third-party service. It suits both invite-only programs and open ones where every new member can be given a referral code.
