The Affiliate Program for WooCommerce plugin allows you to configure unique commission rates for specific products, overriding the default commission settings. This can be useful when you want to incentivize affiliates to promote certain products by offering higher or lower commission rates.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Admin Dashboard
- Navigate to your website’s WordPress login page (your-site-url/wp-admin).
- Enter your Username and Password, then click the Login button.
Step 2: Go to WooCommerce Settings
- From the WordPress dashboard sidebar, hover over WooCommerce and click on Settings.
Step 3: Access the Affiliate Tab
- From the WooCommerce Settings page, navigate to the top menu where you’ll see several tabs (e.g., General, Products, Shipping, etc.).
- Click on the Affiliate tab to access the affiliate-related settings.
Note: If you don’t see the Affiliate tab, ensure that the Affiliate Program for WooCommerce plugin is installed and activated on your website.
Step 4: Navigate to Product-Wise Commissions
- In the Affiliate tab, you will see links like Affiliate Settings, Social Sharing, PayPal Settings, and Reports.
- Click on the Reports link and then select the Product-Wise Commissions tab.
Step 5: Set Product-Specific Commissions
- Under the Product-Specific Commissions section, you will find a list of your store’s products.
- For each product, you can set a specific commission rate by doing the following:
- Choose the Product: Scroll through or search for the product you want to set a unique commission for.
- Enter the Commission Rate: In the commission rate field, input either a percentage value (e.g., 10%) or a fixed amount (e.g., $5).
- The commission rate you enter here will override the default commission settings for this particular product.
Step 6: Save Changes
- After entering the specific commission rate for the product, scroll down and click the Save Changes button to apply your settings.
Outcome:
- The selected product(s) will now have a custom commission rate assigned. This specific rate will be used when affiliates refer customers who purchase that product.
- Affiliates will see their earnings based on the product-specific commission rather than the default rate.
