AffiliateWP Allow Own Referrals Addon

The Allow Own Referrals Addon for AffiliateWP is a free plugin that enables affiliates to earn commissions on their own purchases made through their referral links or affiliate coupon codes. By default, AffiliateWP prevents affiliates from generating referrals for their own transactions to ensure that commissions are awarded for genuine external promotions. Activating this addon overrides that restriction, allowing affiliates to benefit from their own referrals. Key Features Self-Referral Tracking: Affiliates can generate referrals by purchasing through their own referral links or using their affiliate coupon codes. Seamless Integration: The addon works across all AffiliateWP-supported integrations without requiring additional configuration. No Settings Interface: Once activated, the addon functions automatically without the need for further setup. Referral Visibility: Generated referrals appear in the AffiliateWP dashboard like any other referral, providing transparency and tracking. Installation & Activation Ensure that AffiliateWP is installed and activated on your WordPress site. Navigate to AffiliateWP > Addons in your WordPress dashboard. Locate the Allow Own Referrals addon and click Install. After installation, click Activate. No additional configuration is required. Important Notes Fraud Prevention Addon Compatibility: If the Fraud Prevention addon is active, enabling the Allow Own Referrals addon will automatically set the "Self-Referrals" option to "Allow," disabling the "Flag" and "Reject" options. To enable flagging or rejecting self-referrals, you must deactivate the Allow Own Referrals addon. Referral Visibility: Generated self-referrals will appear in the AffiliateWP dashboard, providing transparency and tracking.
