Are you able to integrate this with the AffiliateWP plugin?
It would enable us to payout authors through their Payouts Service (https://affiliatewp.com/features/payouts-service/) instead of Paypal. (which is a billion times more convenient, and more professional since we are able to pay directly to their bank account/debit card).
Additionally, it’d be great if this integrated with an AffiliateWP MLM plugin (like this: https://clickstudio.com.au/downloads/affiliatewp-multi-level-affiliates/) so that we could rev share based on multiple levels. (meaning, Authors could get a rev share from authors they refer to our site and the authors those authors refer etc. etc.)
Hi Zach,
I remember I had a look a couple years ago into showing affiliate information inside Post Pay Counter dashboard and easily pay for it, but I guess here you mean the opposite? Or how would you want it to work exactly (or roughly, at least to get an idea)? 🙂A nice day,
StfanoHmm, I posted a reply but it didn’t show up… let’s try again!
As for the first feature (Using AffiliateWP’s Payout Service instead of Paypal)~
Your plugin already calculates the revenue that needs to be paid out.
So, we would just need a way to add/sync that data (revenue made) with the Author’s Affiliate revenue made during the Payout workflow.
Or, you need to make the Author Revenue == the Affiliate Revenue.
However, I think seperation of concerns are important…
So, it would probably be a better idea to have a choice as to whether the Author Revenue should be == the Affiliate Revenue.
If you look at how the AffiliateWP Payouts Service currently works, I think we can get a better idea as to how to integrate it inside their workflow.
Currently, we select the parameters we want to base our Payout on (as shown here: http://prntscr.com/tkrvy5 ).
After that, we preview the Payout Request before actually submitting it ( as shown here: http://prntscr.com/tkrwnn ).
Next, we’re taken to an invoice page where we pay AffiliateWP the Payout amount + their service fee ( as shown here: http://prntscr.com/tkrxjk ).
Then, once the invoice is paid, AffiliateWP’s Payout Service automatically disperses the funds to the Affiliate’s bank account/debit card within 2-14 days and each affiliate will be notified when their earnings are deposited.
Here’s their docs on it detailing the workflow: https://docs.affiliatewp.com/article/2111-payouts-service
The Pro Version comes with an extended Rest API ( here: https://affiliatewp.com/add-ons/pro/rest-api-extended/ ) that would enable you to update the payout with the Author Revenue ( I think, I’m not a developer… yet, heh. ).
The non-extended API doesn’t allow for CRUD operations, you can only read from it unless it’s extended.
Here’s the docs to it: https://docs.affiliatewp.com/category/1438-rest-api-v1
==============================================
As for the second feature (Enabling Authors to get a rev-share from the Authors they refer, and from the Authors that those Authors refer, etc. etc. aka MLM)
I think it would primarily be a matter of tracking the parent/child affiliate relationship through a plugin that already does so ( https://clickstudio.com.au/downloads/affiliatewp-multi-level-affiliates/ ) and distributing the Author revenue accordingly.
It’s an extension of AffilateWP, here’s some functions for it ( https://clickstudio.com.au/docs/multi-level-affiliates/developers/functions/ ).
==============================================
As for the 3rd feature that I forgot to mention,
It would be awesome if we could have the option to make Users PAY for the extended functionality.
For example, what if I want to give someone the ability to make 100% of the rev-share?
Well, they can pay for it as a Woocommerce product… which then upgrades them to 100% of the rev-share.
However, that’s too easy.
I want to start them at 15% rev-share, then 30%, then 60%, then %100. (as an example)
However, before they can upgrade to 100% rev-share, they would need to purchase the 60%, 30%, and 15% first.
So, it would be great to have the option to make ‘rev-share’ products that unlocks the functionality.
Also, it would be great to force user’s to buy product A before they can get product B, etc. etc.
In other words, product C requires the user to also have product B & A.
If you had the multi level functionality I talked about in the second feature, you can do the same thing with it.
You can create a product out of each level and/or rev-share %.
In other words, would you like to make rev-share from the Author’s you refer as an Affiliate? (through the AffiliateWP plugin)
If so, then buy product A that allows you to.
Would you like to make MORE rev-share from the Author’s that you refer?
If so, then buy product B that allows you to.
Would you like to make rev-share from the Authors referred by the Authors you referred?
If so, then buy product C that allows you to.
Would you like to make MORE rev-share from those Authors?
If so, then buy product D that allows you to. etc. etc.
To add onto this idea, you could add additional Ad Networks to the mix and programmatically calculate what to pay out to publishers and potentially take a small service fee % of all Ad Revenue generated.
Hi Zach,
I feel this falls quite far from the actual scope of the plugin and is more of something tailored to your needs (that would require quite a lot of work, also). I am afraid it is unlikely you will ever see this implemented in Post Pay Counter 🙂A nice day,
StefanoIncluding the ability to payout Authors directly to their bank/debit card through affiliatewp?
