Hello, I'll try to keep it short. Firstly I know there are a few plugins out there that do something like this but not all of what I wanted. I am looking for a plugin that will allow people to create a user/affiliate account on wordpress and then they are able to create a trackable URL by copying any link on the site and then adding their unique ID to it. Once this is done, there should be a dashboard so they can monitor any customers/visitors that have clicked on their affiliate link so they know how many people have clicked on their link. Most plugins then track sale conversions and offer a percentage on the sale so the affiliate can see their earnings based on sales. What I want is earnings based on customers/visitors. A bit like CPM. I just can't seem to find anything like this anywhere? Maybe I am just not looking hard enough. Although I have been looking for a few days now! Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks
iDevAffiliate is what you are looking for, it's not free though, but it's the most widely used affiliate/commissioning system that is used across multiple platforms. http://www.idevdirect.com/idevaffiliate.php
Hi Jeff, That looks like it although I am looking for more of a plugin rather than store data on their servers for them to look at. I have heard the horror stories of companies scanning data and capitalizing on it secretly. Thus becoming competition.
iDevAffiliate installs on your website (aka private data storage), and has plug-ins for WordPress/Woocommerce.
From what I could tell they use a plugin but most of the work is done through logging in to the dashboard on their server? Maybe I have it wrong but that is what I can see
They have two versions, one is a month-to-month subscription "on the cloud", and another owned version (which as 3 different editions), that you maintain the install of / database / etc.
Oh yes, I see now. It is a ton of software for what I want. I only want to allow people to create affiliate links and it show stats for those links. This seems like it has a million options
