WC Self Affiliate is a lean, self-hosted affiliate program for WooCommerce. A slimmed-down alternative to heavyweight affiliate suites — everything runs in your own database, payouts stay under your manual control, and nothing phones home.
Full feature set in plain PHP + CSS/JS — no React, no npm build, no license server.
First-party cookie with ?ref=CODE, first/last-click attribution, visit log — and the affiliate's customer coupon auto-applied to the cart after a referral visit. Personal own-purchase coupons per affiliate, commission-free.
Percentage or flat rates — global, per affiliate, or rule-based per product and category with priorities. Refunds revoke commissions automatically.
Affiliates request payouts from My Account; you approve, pay by transfer, and mark paid. Thresholds, reservations and full history included — no payment APIs.
Public registration with website/social/about fields, approve / reject / ban flow, dedicated WordPress role, and admin-created accounts.
Parent-chain MLM up to 5 tiers with per-tier rates. Cycle-guarded so nobody earns from their own orders. Off by default.
Banners and text creatives served in My Account, plus a generator that turns any store URL into a saved, copyable referral link.
Admin dashboard and affiliate dashboard with visits, conversions, sales and commission totals — filterable by date range.
Application, status change, new referral and payout notifications via wp_mail — with editable subjects, bodies and placeholders.
One-click exports of referrals, affiliates, payouts and visits. Excel-friendly, streamed straight from your database.
Built as a lightweight replacement for subscription affiliate suites — without the parts you don't need, like automatic payment processing.
Drop wc-self-affiliate/ into wp-content/plugins/.
Enable the plugin — WooCommerce must be active. Tables and roles are created automatically.
Set rates, cookie lifetime and payable order statuses under Affiliates → Settings.
Save Settings → Permalinks once so My Account endpoints resolve.
