Our analysis
AI-assistedAffiliateWP – Affiliate Product Rates is a WordPress plugin that enhances the AffiliateWP system by allowing you to set different referral rates for each product on a per-affiliate basis. This means you can customise commissions based on the specific products affiliates promote, offering flexibility in your affiliate marketing strategy. The plugin is suitable for users who already have AffiliateWP installed and want to manage complex commission structures for their affiliates.
The plugin supports integrations with Easy Digital Downloads and WooCommerce, enabling tailored commission rates for products sold through these platforms.

From the developer
Syed Balkhi's own description of AffiliateWP, lightly tidied.
This plugin requires AffiliateWP v1.5.2+ in order to function.
At its most basic level AffiliateWP allows you to set a global referral rate which all affiliates share. For integrations that support per-product referral rates, affiliates can earn different commissions based on which product/s are purchased. AffiliateWP also allows you to set referral rates on a per-affiliate level which will override any per-product referral rate.
Affiliate Product Rates expands this even further, allowing different per-product referral rates on a per-affiliate level.
Here are some examples of how you might use this plugin:
- Give Affiliate X 10% commission for Product A, 80% commission for Product B, and a flat rate of $50 for Product C.
- Give Affiliate Y 50% commission for Product A, but a lower commission than Affiliate X for Products B and C.
- Give Affiliate Z a flat-rate of $10 commission for Product A, 65% commission for Product B and 22% commission for Product C.
The possibilities are endless! You can also set per-product referral rates per-affiliate per-integration! (for those that happen to be running both integrations listed below).
Currently Supported Integrations
- Easy Digital Downloads
- WooCommerce
Known Issues
The add-on doesn’t yet prevent a product from existing in more than 1 product rate. Be careful you don’t accidentally add a product to more than location or one rate will be ignored.
