Easy Digital Downloads iDevAffiliate

Description

The iDevAffiliate add-on connects Easy Digital Downloads to the iDevAffiliate affiliate tracking system, recording each completed sale as a valid referral and triggering commission to the responsible affiliate. After pasting the 3rd Party Affiliate Call URL in settings under Downloads → Settings → Extensions, the store then calculates commissions on the total with taxes, subtotal or net total, depending on the base selected in the panel.

Main Features

• Connection via 3rd Party Affiliate Call
  Integrates EDD to iDevAffiliate by simply pasting the return URL provided by the external system.
• Configurable commission base
  Allows choosing between total with tax, subtotal, or total after tax as the calculation reference.
• Panel within Extensions menu
  Brings all options under Downloads → Settings → Extensions, without standalone screens in the admin.
• Automatic trigger on completed sale
  Invokes the iDevAffiliate external call whenever an EDD order finishes successfully.
• Compatibility with modern EDD
  Works with Easy Digital Downloads installs from version 2.4 on up-to-date WordPress environments.

Benefits of iDevAffiliate

• External WordPress affiliate program
  Retains iDevAffiliate as the tracking engine, without migrating data or switching sales platforms.
• Control over paid amount
  Specifies precisely the basis the affiliate receives, avoiding paying commission on taxes.
• Fast setup without code
  Activation by pasting the URL, eliminating template editing, hooks, or database changes.
• Reliable sales attribution
  Links each EDD purchase to the correct affiliate, eliminating manual checks at month-end.

Who Is It For?

• Digital merchants already running the iDevAffiliate affiliate program who want to automatically record EDD sales.
• Marketing teams that need to pay commission on the net sale value, separating taxes from the base.
• Companies that prefer to keep affiliate tracking in an external system, leaving EDD focused on checkout and digital product delivery.

Recommended for operations already using iDevAffiliate as an affiliate management platform, this add-on eliminates the manual step of matching EDD orders with external referrals. The integration runs in the background: a customer makes a normal purchase, the affiliate receives the credit automatically, and the administrative team only needs to check the iDevAffiliate panel to close the payment cycle.
