Paid Memberships Pro - Affiliates (Lightweight Affiliate Tracking)

The Affiliates: Lightweight Affiliate Tracking Add On is an official extension of Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro) that allows membership site owners to implement and manage affiliate programs easily and efficiently. Developed by the Stranger Studios team, this add-on integrates natively with PMPro so you can reward those who promote your site and attract new members.

The extension works by assigning unique affiliate codes to each affiliate user. When a visitor arrives at your site through an affiliate URL, the add-on stores a cookie in their browser for the number of days you configure. If that visitor completes a membership registration while the cookie is still active, the sale is automatically recorded in the corresponding affiliate's account. This way, each affiliate can generate their own personalized link and track their conversions without needing external tools.

Affiliates can view a detailed report of their activity by creating a page with the shortcode [pmpro_affiliates_report], where they see their visits, conversions, and generated commissions. Site administrators, on the other hand, have access to a complete panel under the Memberships > Affiliates menu, from which they can manage affiliate codes, enable or disable affiliates, and review key metrics such as conversions and visits for each one.

Among its main benefits are ease of setup, full integration with the Paid Memberships Pro ecosystem, and the ability to scale your affiliate program without technical complications. It is ideal for online course sites, paid communities, subscription platforms, and any membership-based business looking to expand its reach through referral marketing.
