The Affilae plugin for WooCommerce sets up click and conversion tracking on your WordPress store, with no code to write. You configure it with your Program ID and one conversion key per commission rule.

Prerequisites: the program must be set as a Parameter. Change the URL format in Manage programs > your program > Configuration, section Global settings. You also need administrator access to your WordPress.

Good to know: this WooCommerce plugin also manages commission rules by product category. It is compatible with HPOS orders (High-Performance Order Storage).

Install the plugin on your WordPress

Download the file Affilae_WC_1.6.1.
Install it in your WordPress like any other plugin.
Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
Activate the Affilae plugin.

A new Affilae menu then appears in the sidebar of your WordPress admin.

Configure click tracking

This step connects your store to your program, through the Program ID.

Retrieve your Program ID in Affilae

In the sidebar, open Manage programs, then click your program name.
Click Configuration.
At the top of the page, open the Tracking tab.
Expand the Integration via an Affilae plugin section.
Copy the Program ID value with the copy icon.

Configure sales tracking

Create one rule in the plugin for each commission rule you have in Affilae. Every rule carries its own conversion key.

Create the rule

In the WordPress Affilae menu, open Affilae rules.
Click on Add.
Give it the same name as in your Affilae account, for example “All products”.

Retrieve the conversion code

In Affilae, go back to Configuration > Tracking tab > Integration via an Affilae plugin.
Select the matching rule in the dropdown list.
Copy its Key, for example 58b57bd2e8face9d048b4581-58b57b35c2f06d67ab6423c5.
Paste this code into the Code field of the WordPress rule.

Choose the product categories

For all categories, leave everything unchecked: that is the default behavior.
For specific categories, only check the relevant ones.
Click the Publish button.

Repeat the process for every rule configured in Affilae. Each rule can be linked to its own product categories.

Tip: give your WordPress rules exactly the same names as in Affilae. The day a conversion lands on the wrong rule, you find the right key in seconds.

Test your setup

Perform click and conversion tests.
Check in your Affilae account that clicks and conversions are recorded.
