AffiliateWP Signup Referrals

Description

The Signup Referrals add-on rewards affiliates when someone they refer creates an account on your site, generating a fixed signup commission in AffiliateWP for each new registration coming from the referral link. The extension works with the default WordPress registration form and with custom forms, expanding the affiliate program to capture leads and build a user base, not just sales.

Key Features

• Signup commission: records a fixed reference amount whenever a referred visitor signs up on the site.
• Configurable amount: sets the amount paid per direct signup in the AffiliateWP options, as a fixed value.
• Form compatibility: works with native WordPress registration and with third-party signup plugins.
• Cookie tracking: uses AffiliateWP’s cookie system to identify the affiliate responsible for the referral.
• Referral status: creates the referral in the affiliate dashboard using the same approval flow used for sales.

Signup Referrals Benefits

• Program expansion: rewards referrals that generate leads, not just paid requests.
• Base growth: encourages affiliates to promote signup pages, communities, and free areas.
• Funnel activation: generates commission at the top of the funnel, useful for sites with delayed conversion.
• Quick setup: enables signup rewards without needing to create manual rules.

Who Is It For?

• Membership sites and communities that grow through referrals.
• SaaS platforms, courses, and services with free signup before the sale.
• Affiliate programs focused on lead generation and new users.

Ideal for affiliate program managers who want to reward referrals at the time of signup, expanding the reach of AffiliateWP beyond sales commissions.
