I am using the WP-Affliate Platform with Gravity forms to gather commissions on subscriptions. The affiliates are able to view their sales in their affiliate area. It only shows the date, time, and earnings. I have added the viewing of the transaction ID as well. I would like the affiliate to also view what product they sold, so that they can better manage their referrals. Is there a way to call the sales data from Gravity forms? I’m not afraid of editing a bit of code, so that is an option. I would also like an alert email sent to the affiliate when one of their referrals completes a transaction.
July 13, 2013 at 11:12 pm #56552adminKeymasterGo to settings and check the “Send Commission Notification” option which will do that alert email when someone earns a commission.
The affiliate plugin records a reference of the item/product/service that was sold (where possible). This reference is stored in the “Item ID” column of the commission/sale record. In case of the “gravity form” integration, it will store the entry ID as a reference. This is shown to you (the admin) in the sales/commission data menu.
Since you said you are okay with PHP coding I can tell you where to modify the code to show this data to your affiliates too. Which of the following affiliate area option are you using?

July 14, 2013 at 5:01 am #56553AGUBCMemberI am using option 1, using a separate URL for the affiliate to sign in. I haven’t done anything fancy with the link name, it is still out of the box. Thanks!
July 14, 2013 at 5:10 am #56554AGUBCMemberAlso, while I’m fiddling with the code, is there a way to change the end of the URL that is associated with the affiliate ID on ads? I’d like it to read “www.mysite.com/myproductpage/affiliatename” so it is easy to use on printed publications and other marketing materials. Currently it reads “www.mysite.com/myproductpage/af_id=affiliatename” when the referral clicks on the ad link I built for my affiliates. Thank you.

July 15, 2013 at 7:39 am #56556AGUBCMemberThanks. I still need to know where to modify the code to show the sales data to affiliates.
July 16, 2013 at 12:17 am #56557adminKeymasterModify the following file to show more data in the “sales” area of the affiliate portal.
.../wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/sales.php
Search for “print $resultset->date;” in that file to get to the area where it shows the date value.
