Can I make affiliate management more automatic

[Pranav]

Hi all,

I am a newbie at selling digital products and affiliate management. The process of managing affiliates looks rather complicated. I first need to register the affiliates and then add their ids to the product ids in the Wp eStore for the products they are selling. I have both the WP Affiliate plugin and the WP eStore plugin. Once the registration is taken care of, I then need to handle payments refunds etc. Is it possible to automate the process where the affiliate can choose the products they register for and I set a time say 30 days after which the payment is released automatically?

I am sure there is a good reason for all of this being manual so feel free to tell me what it is.

If there is a way to automate the management of affiliates, do let me know.

Well, for starters, there is “no way” possible to automagically release the commission payments. This is to prevent fraud. Ditto for refunds. The only thing that is automagic about eCommerce on the Internet is that any unattended processes, WILL be hacked.

With this in mind; is there any specific process we can help you with?

P.S. I “get it,” from your previous post, about being blind. I am legally blind as well, and as I type this, I am using a 300% zoomed viewport.

Hi @wzp,

Thanks for your answer and I see your point. In terms of specific processes, I am still setting things up so I am not sure at this stage. I have the affiliate plugin setup and have added an affiliate too. Let me actually begin transacting and then give some feedback.
