Description

The Store Credit add-on converts commissions generated by affiliates into store credit usable in purchases within the site itself, integrating AffiliateWP with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads to credit the amounts directly to the affiliate’s account after approval. Useful for affiliate programs that prefer to retain revenue within the store ecosystem, rewarding referrals with balance instead of cash payments and encouraging new purchases by the partners themselves.

Key Features

  • Store credit payments: approved commissions turn into balance in the affiliate’s account within WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.
  • WooCommerce integration: credits the commission amount as store credit usable at checkout.
  • Easy Digital Downloads integration: applies the balance to digital downloads sold through EDD.
  • Automatic conversion after approval: when moving a commission to the approved status, the credit is issued without any extra manual step.
  • Controlled from the AffiliateWP dashboard: dedicated options in the admin to enable or disable the store credit payment method.

Store Credit Benefits

  • Revenue retention: the commission amount returns to the store in the form of new purchases made by affiliates.
  • Repurchase incentive: affiliates spend the balance within the same site, generating a second sales cycle.
  • No gateway costs: eliminates transfers via PayPal or Stripe to pay off pending commissions.
  • Simplified financial flow: commission and payment stay within the WordPress environment, with no export to external systems.

Who Is It For?

  • WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads stores running an affiliate program with AffiliateWP.
  • Digital businesses that want to reward partners without direct cash outlay.
  • Operations that prefer to encourage the affiliate’s own repurchase as a form of compensation.

Serves WooCommerce and EDD store owners who use AffiliateWP and are looking for an alternative payment method, keeping the commission value circulating within the same operation.
