We configure an affiliate program plugin so others can promote your products and earn a commission on resulting sales — tracking links, commission rules, and payout thresholds — distinct from configuring your own outbound affiliate links when you promote someone else’s products.

Questions about this fix
How is this different from the affiliate link cloaking fix?
That fix is for when you're the one promoting someone else's products with outbound affiliate links; this is for setting up your own program so others can promote and earn commission on your products instead.
Can I require approval before someone becomes an affiliate?
Yes, if your plugin supports it, we can configure an approval step rather than allowing anyone to join automatically.
Does this include actually paying affiliates their commission?
This configures the calculation and scheduling; the actual fund transfer depends on your connected payment method, which we'd verify works correctly as part of testing.
Can different affiliates have different commission rates?
Yes, if your plugin supports tiered or per-affiliate rates, we can configure that rather than a single flat rate for everyone.
Is this the same as a customer loyalty points program?
No, that's a separate, different kind of program rewarding customers directly for purchases or engagement, rather than rewarding affiliates for referring new sales.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
