Remove Bank account details from profile

[tojulius]

Hi there,

I’d like to remove the option to add bank account as an affiliate payout option. I would like to use only Paypal. Is that possible?

Thanks

You specify on your affiliate page as to how you will pay. If you say that you will only pay via PayPal then all your affiliates will know that they can only expect a payment via PayPal and they won’t bother with bank account details. You can specify any of your conditions on the “Index Page” of the affiliate area so any interested affiliate knows all the details before they go to signup. For example, we have a page that explains our affiliate program details so any user knows what to expect before they decide to signup:

Hello

Thought it might be helpful for others to share what I did:

I did not like the field labeled “Bank Account Details” showing up on my Affiliates Edit Profile page, since I do not want to collect their bank information, nor do I even want to give them the idea that it’s something I may want. So instead of removing the field from the page, I just renamed it to something innocuous — in my case, “Notes to Self.”

Open the file “wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/lang/eng.php” and search for the following line:

define('AFF_BANK_ACCOUNT_DETAILS', "Bank Account Details");

Update the second part of that line only: “Bank Account Details” to whatever text you want instead. Be sure to keep the quotation marks intact.

I hope this helps!

PS. The reason I named it “Notes to Self” is because the admin (me) will not get an email every time an affiliate updates their profile. I didn’t want it to be labeled just “Notes” in case they get the false impression that these notes would find their way to me automatically.
