WP Affiliate – Install on root domain if payment form is on subdomain?

[sam1986]

I have the main site at domain.com, but when people click buy, they get taken to members.domain.com – and then the order/payment form is on a page on this site (this is also a separate wordpress install). Do I install WP Affiliate on the subdomain, or can i install it on the root domain and it still work?

Thanks

Affiliate Platform is installed on the WP site (domain) which processes the actual sale.

Is there any way of doing it so that I can install Affiliate Platform on domain.com and then still have the order form on members.domain.com?

Members.domain.com/order is where people buy it currently.

1. “Why” is doing that important to you?

2. Are you using eStore, eMember or what, to sell the memberships?

1) Mainly just for aesthetic reasons – because I want to be able to direct our affiliate partners to domain.com/affiliates not members.domain.com/affiliates (and I already have began setting it up on domain.com! lol).

2) We sell through PayPal.

2) We sell through PayPal.

You are using direct PayPal integration?

I am not sure, how can i tell? The order form looks like this:

It is a one off payment.

If i follow the instructions in the link that means I can install the plugin on domain.com instead of members.domain.com?

Hi there,

It would be more helpful if you could just answer my question instead of linking me to posts with hundreds of different answers without all the information concisely in one place?!

Do i need to create pass through links? Or need affiliate helper extension?

To recap:

1) I have my affiliate plugin installed at mydomain.com – affiliate will go here to sign up

2) Customers come to mydomain.com but when they click buy they get taken to members.mydomain.com/order where they purchase through PayPal

3) How can the affiliate still get credit/commission for this?

Can I make this work how I want it to, or do I need to look at other options?

Thanks

What you are doing is not a standard setup. I have sent you an email that will sort it out. Please reply to the email.

@unfoldatelier — What exactly is it, that you are wanting to do; since your usage case may be different?
