AffiliateWP Allow Own Referrals removes the default restriction that prevents affiliates from earning commissions on their own purchases. By default, AffiliateWP blocks self-referrals to prevent abuse, but this add-on enables the feature for programs where self-referral makes sense — such as loyalty discounts, employee purchase programs, or affiliate incentive structures.
How It Works
When enabled, affiliates can use their own referral link to make purchases and earn a commission on those orders. The referral is tracked and processed through the standard AffiliateWP workflow, appearing in the affiliate's earnings and the admin referral log just like any other referral.
Configuration Options
- Enable self-referrals globally for all affiliates
- Standard AffiliateWP commission rates apply to self-referrals
- Self-referrals appear in the referral log with standard tracking data
- Works with all AffiliateWP-supported e-commerce integrations
Use Cases
Self-referral functionality is commonly used for employee discount programs where staff members who are also affiliates can earn on their own purchases. It also works for loyalty-style programs where affiliates receive a percentage back on their own orders as an incentive to remain active in the program.
Integration
- Compatible with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and other AffiliateWP integrations
- Works alongside other AffiliateWP add-ons and commission rules
- No changes to the affiliate dashboard or referral link structure
- Admin can review self-referrals in the standard referral log

AffiliateWP Pushover Notifications connects your AffiliateWP affiliate program to the Pushover notification service, delivering instant push notifications to your mobile devices or desktop when important affiliate events happen. Instead of checking your WordPress dashboard for updates, you receive real-time alerts about affiliate activity.
Core Functionality
- Real-time notifications: Receive instant push notifications when affiliates register, earn referrals, or generate sales, without needing to check the WordPress dashboard.
- Configurable event triggers: Choose which AffiliateWP events trigger notifications, including new affiliate registrations, new referrals, referral status changes, and payout completions.
- Multi-device support: Pushover sends notifications to iOS, Android, and desktop devices simultaneously, ensuring you stay informed regardless of which device you are using.
- Custom notification messages: Customize the notification content with merge tags that include affiliate name, referral amount, product name, and other relevant details.
Practical Considerations
This addon requires a Pushover account and app (one-time purchase per platform). Pushover is a third-party service with its own pricing. The addon sends notifications to the site administrator or designated recipients only, not to affiliates. For high-volume affiliate programs, consider limiting notifications to specific events to avoid notification overload.
LatePoint Pro Features V1.7.0
AffiliateWP Leaderboard creates ranking displays showing top-performing affiliates. The leaderboard can be placed on public pages to showcase affiliate achievements or within the affiliate dashboard for internal competition. Rankings update automatically based on configurable performance criteria.
Ranking Criteria
Rank affiliates by referral count (number of successful referrals), earnings (total commission amount), or visits (number of referral link clicks). Each metric provides a different perspective on affiliate performance, and multiple leaderboards can display different criteria simultaneously.
Configuration Options
- Time periods — display rankings for current day, week, month, quarter, year, or all time
- Display limit — show top 5, 10, 20, or custom number of affiliates
- Visibility — public pages visible to all visitors or restricted to logged-in affiliates
- Data display — choose which metrics appear alongside affiliate names in the ranking
Shortcode Integration
Place leaderboards anywhere using shortcodes with parameters for ranking type, time period, and display count. Multiple leaderboards can appear on the same page showing different rankings or time periods.
Motivation & Competition
Public leaderboards create healthy competition among affiliates, encouraging increased promotional activity. Monthly or quarterly leaderboards combined with bonus commissions for top performers create incentive structures that drive affiliate engagement.
