WP Affiliate commissions don't register (Direct PayPal button integration)

[ronenl]

Hi, My website: agalulim.co.il/affiliates

A Paypal 5 Cents test button: agalulim.co.il/test-page

I asked a friend to register as an affiliate, and then make a purchase through his link via the above test-page.

Purchases are not being tracked. He bought twice, no tracking appears on his page, or on my admin tracking page.

I am using wordpress 3.5.1, hostgator and WP Affiliate v5.6.4 .

I configured my paypal PDT and checked the 3’rd party box.

Could you please advise ?

Thanks,

Ronen.

BTW: I’m not using paypal sandbox ( I’m not a developer, and after trying to play with that for a while, I gave up ).

Hi Ronen, Which PayPal button integration option are you using? Please refer to the following doc and tell me which option you are going with:

What is the URL of your “Thank You” page?

What link is your friend clicking before making the payment? It is important that he/she clicks on a proper affiliate link.

Do you by any chance have the “Enable Debug” option checked in the settings of this plugin? If you don’t please check it.

This is also a good post to go through for troubleshooting commission tracking issue:

I haven’t connected the return URL.

As soon as I have, it started working.

Thanks.
