Active eCommerce Affiliate Add-On 2.0

The Active eCommerce Affiliate Add-On is a premium extension designed to transform the Active eCommerce CMS (which is a PHP/Laravel-based e-commerce platform, not a standard WordPress/WooCommerce plugin) into a fully functional affiliate marketing system.

Its core purpose is to enable the store owner to recruit, manage, track, and pay commissions to affiliate partners who promote their products. This helps businesses leverage a network of external promoters to drive sales.

🌟 Key Features of the Affiliate Add-On

The plugin offers a robust framework for running a professional affiliate program:

Affiliate Options/Commission Types: The add-on provides flexibility in how commissions are calculated, typically including three main types:

Basic Affiliate: A general commission rate applied to all sales referred by the partner.

Product Sharing Affiliate: Allows for defining a specific commission percentage for affiliates who share links to individual products.

Category-Wise Affiliate: Allows the store owner to set different commission rates based on the product category (e.g., higher commission for high-margin items).

Affiliate Registration & Approval:

Custom Registration Form: The ability to build a dynamic, customized registration form for prospective affiliate merchants.

Partner Approval: The admin retains control to check the data submitted through the form and manually approve partners before they can start promoting.

Tracking and Reporting:

Referral Link Generation: Affiliates can easily generate unique tracking links for product pages, category pages, or the main registration page.

Performance Dashboard: Affiliates get their own dashboard to monitor their earnings, track successful referrals, and view withdrawal history.

Affiliate Payouts:

Earnings Management: The admin can easily check each affiliate's total earnings and commissions due.

Payment Options: The system typically facilitates payment to the affiliate using common methods like PayPal email or Bank Account information provided by the partner.

Multi-Vendor Compatibility: If the core Active eCommerce CMS is used as a multi-vendor marketplace, the affiliate add-on is designed to integrate and manage commissions seamlessly across sales made by different vendors.

💡 Summary

In short, this add-on provides all the tools needed to set up, track, and manage a sophisticated digital referral program on the Active eCommerce CMS platform, enabling the business to scale its marketing efforts by incentivizing external partners.
