Affiliate program on WooCommerce questions answered

Is the affiliate program free on WooCommerce?

Yes. The Basic Affiliate Program recipe runs on Siren Lite, which is free. Upgrade later for renewals, automatic payouts, and team features.

How are affiliates attributed on WooCommerce?

By tracking link, cookie-based and last-touch, or by an assigned coupon code on Essentials. You can also credit a referral manually.

Can affiliates use coupon codes instead of links?

Yes, on the Essentials tier. Assign a coupon to a collaborator and every checkout that uses it is credited to them. This is useful for influencers who would rather share a code.

Can I pay commission on subscription renewals?

Yes, on Essentials and up with WooCommerce Subscriptions. The affiliate earns on the first order and each renewal.

How do affiliates get paid?

As WooCommerce store credit on Lite and Essentials, or as real money through Stripe Connect on the Plus tier. Partners self-onboard and are paid automatically.
