### "Easy Plugin for my Wordpress Site"

April 24, 2019

4.0

Everything has been great. I really think this is a seamless integration with my website.

Pros

The implementation of this plugin was seamless. I LOVE how easy it is to change payout percentages per person or item/category and how it allows all the affiliates to login themselves to see their status and reports.

Cons

I wish I could get more notification reminders about when I need to login to check who needs what payouts.

### "Solid choice"

March 31, 2020

5.0

Smooth and simple, gets the job done as expexcted.

Pros

I found setup simple and got rolling in a matter of hours. We aren't looking for a tonne of features, but it delivers most of what we want with no hassles at all. Key was integration with Restrict Content Pro.

Cons

I imagine it has everything we need but we feel more comfortable using Mailchimp to communicate with our members - a nice integration with Mailchimp would be a bonus - I tag all our affiliates in Mailchimp manually now.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

Integration with Restrict Content Pro sold us right away.

### "Great for affiliate programs!"

March 31, 2020

5.0

I recommend this plugin and service to anyone building an affiliate program. It is easy to learn, navigate and implement.

Pros

Easy to use for users and easy to navigate. We use for our affiliate program and it works great.

Cons

My least favorite part is there is currently not a month to month setting for clicks. Our affiliate program is broken down by months but the software doesn’t currently offer that feature so it’s a little bit of a hassle.

### "WooCommerce Affiliates for Life!"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

The pro version has lifetime commissions and other premium add-ons that are super valuable. There's more add-ons than any other affiliate software we've seen for WooCommerce.

Cons

We have a multisite wordpress install on one of our projects, and it's kind of tricky to set up so it works across the network. Although we do have challenges with other wordpress plugins in the environment. On our primary WooCommerce site that's not a multisite network, it's amazing! And simple to setup.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

It seemed that AffiliateWP had the most options, the most add-ons, and customizable features. We could add on lots in the future if we wanted. They also have a lifetime purchase option, so we don't have to pay annually like so many other plugins want to lock you in.

### "Redefining software ROI"

May 14, 2020

5.0

AffiliateWP is our go to plugin for all of our clients that are looking to develop an affiliate programme. Its many features and ease of use soon get these projects going and the ROI our customers generally experience makes them them wonder why they had not made their decision sooner.

Pros

AffiliateWP comes packed with every function you could possibly think to manage your affiliate programme. It is the ideal Wordpress plugin and its numerous features allow you to create an effective affiliate programme for small businesses through to enterprise solutions. As a WordPress it was dead easy to get going with AffiliateWP

Cons

We occasionally experience temporary errors but the support we get is fantastic and any glitches are soon overcome. Not having a free version or a free trial means you need to take a leap of faith but any research should put your mind at ease.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

As a WordPress house AffiliateWP was the natural option and have not been disappointed.

### "Not a userfriendly plugin"

December 7, 2022

2.0

Pros

I would say almost nothing? I spent a month without finding a solution

Cons

\- Assistance offered by custom service- Flexibility of the plugin and features- Very expensive the fees to send the money to your affiliate (other services have them 3 times cheaper)- Needed to know the code PHP in order to edit any formIt does look like if this plugin was released recently showing all the problems a young service would have.

### "Exactly what we were looking for"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

The affiliate tracking is nice and straightforward. This saved us a ton of time in coding our own system, making it an affordable solution for our clients.

Cons

It would be nice if there was default affiliate legal language provided for affiliates to sign off on (regarding various commission structure referrals/payments). Also, there is a growing area of concern regarding sponsored content on social media in the United States (which affiliates would be using to market, to earn commissions). A legal guide for them regarding advertisement disclosures would be a nice addition.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

Everything we needed was already there, along with support/updates.

Hi Allen, thanks for the review. We appreciate your feedback, particularly the idea on the legal guide. While we cannot give legal advice ourselves it would be nice to have a resource for our users. We will look into this.

### "What i think of AffiliateWP"

February 25, 2021

4.0

AffiliateWP brings me extra traffic and profits. With AffiliateWP you can authomate the registration of your affiliates, give them their own customised dashboard and pay them a percentage of your profits for referring customers to you

Pros

AffiliateWP comes with tonnes of cool affiliate tracking features. You could track real time reporting, have unlimited affiliates, export data and so much more. It integrates seamlessly with wordpress and helps you boost traffic and profits.

Cons

Its quite expensive. The pricing might be worth it but would be a big barrier for small businesses. Apart from the pricing, i think every other thing is okay

April 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

I've used Affiliate WP for more than 5 years and it's never caused a problem on my website. The plugin and its extensions work every time. Our customer's love the extra income and our team loves how easy it is to compensate our fans.

Cons

This software does what it is intended to do without much fluff. It would be great to see more customizations available for the affiliate dashboard.

### "ALl in one affilliate software"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Have realised actual affiliate revenue using the software.

Pros

Once set up, integrates easily with WooCommerce to set up affiliate programs on a per affiliate level. We use it for afilliates to sell Learndash courses via WooCommerce and tracks their payments well once lin ked to paypal. Payment is made within AffiliateWP via a click to pay and can then be used to track who has and hasn't been paid.

Cons

A bit of a learning curve, but once you know it, it's all fine.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

I purchased the lifetime developer license which I though was a fantastic opportunity. Currently using on one client site but will be using for myself once I have my training product ready to sell.

### "Incredible Framework - Fair GUI"

April 7, 2020

4.0

The experience has been good so far, I like the fact that there are constant updates on the product.

Pros

The framework and structure is good and elaborate. It is easy to setup up too.

Cons

Difficult to customise GUI to exact specification. I think a documentation of the tags and CSS will aid easy customisation and responsive design across various devices.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

The features appeared easier to configure and utilise. It also met my desires.

### "Does not track properly "

September 30, 2020

1.0

Waste of money, worth paying by the month for a product that actually does what it promises

Pros

It is easy to navigate around the plugin

Cons

It is useless at tracking, we are constantly adding new referrals for purchase that did not link and has caused distrust with our affiliates. And we get useless advice and help

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

One time price with good selection of adding and I couldn't find any bad reviews, but it is not worth it

Hi Tegan, Sorry to hear about the frustration. Upon looking into our support tickets the desired solution for MLM requires custom development. There also might be 3rd party MLM add-ons for AffiliateWP. Again, sorry to hear that we cannot provide for your needs, we still appreciate the feedback.

### "Good software at a reasonable price"

April 6, 2020

5.0

Great! It has been great software and while new feature requests are somewhat slow to be implemented (if they ever are) but it does have a lot built right in and the price is great.

Pros

You get a lot of features and the ability to do almost anything you could want with affiliate marketing for a very reasonable price.

Cons

There are some affiliate experts in a forum I ran into who found it odd how it handles affiliate tracking and payment for physical goods. That was several years ago and could have been corrected. I've only been selling digital goods since then.

April 6, 2020

5.0

We have an 'advocate' program for our company. This software has elegantly enabled us to track affiliate sales, registration, assign percentages of commission, it's been great.

Pros

So many features, and software seems very stable.

Cons

There's not much that I don't like about AffiliateWP. It's got more features than I need, but they don't get in my way.

### "AffiliateWP big help with fundraising"

December 13, 2022

4.0

It has been a good benefit to us and our fundraising campaigners.

Pros

The thing I like the most is that each affiliate is given its own separate stats etc. We use the program for fundraising efforts so it's very handy for each organization to be able to log in and check the status of their campaign for fundraising.

Cons

it can be difficult to navigate until you learn what you're doing ...

### "Nice software, easy to use, but eats away the site speed"

October 29, 2019

4.0

It's an affiliate software that gets the job done. However, unless you've got a lightning fast server, and a system administrator that can leverage its strain on your resources, I always recommend my clients to get an external solution instead. It integrates very simply and out of the box. Works fantastically, but that adverse effect on the sitespeed is just not worth it.

Pros

It's built into the WP code as it should be. It's really coded well, simple and everything is done by the book.

Cons

Its installation adds a lot to the website speed. It is definitely something to be addressed. There are just way too many database calls that it makes, and the spike in PHP server load is quite high after you add it.

March 31, 2020

3.0

Meh.

Pros

Made codes for what they were needed for

Cons

I got your product bc of the LINKS you touted but what the hell do they matter if the affiliate can’t use them to get people using it without having to use a code? Pointless to have a URL if they ALSO have to use a code after that. Should be simple follow though. Always deletes my set up backend emails and have to start all over again and again and again.

### "Exactly what we needed."

April 6, 2020

5.0

No problems so far, and love it exactly the way it is!

Pros

We bought this because it integrates with Wordpress well, but even better that it integrates with Easy Digital Downloads which is our storefront. It made it easy for to setup and add it to our users accounts, and to be able to do mass payouts through PayPal for our affiliates. Super easy to use, easy to install, and so far we've had great support!

Cons

Honestly this is exactly what what we needed, since and since once you set it up it manages itself, there's not much that we don't like about it. If you want something that's easy to setup and can kind of automate the process this is perfect for you.

### "Happy Agency User"

April 9, 2020

5.0

I'm all happy with this, both how it runs but also how easy it is to setup.

Pros

The software comes with everything you may need out of an Affiliate software. Plug'n Play almost. Install, go through setup and then it's ready to go fast and simple.

Cons

I'd love for you to offer multilicense for an agency, which you probably do, but I'd love that information as well. Couldn't find anything about that.

Reason for choosing AffiliateWP

I think definitely because it seemed like the best option for us without even any competition. There wasn't even a second thought about it.

### "useful features, great tracking"

March 31, 2020

5.0

Overall, Affiliate WP has a lot of useful features to keep up with user information and affiliate tracking.

Pros

Our team is constantly growing so this gives us a platform to keep track of everyone's progress quickly and effectively.

Cons

We are currently trying to get coupons to link to AffiliateWP through a different plugin, if there were a field on the back end that could make that easier- that would be my only critique.
