Overview
AffiliatePress is an affiliate program plugin from Repute InfoSystems, the team behind BookingPress and ARMember. It runs on your own WordPress site and connects to WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, SureCart, MemberPress, LearnDash, ARMember, BookingPress, GiveWP and more than twenty other plugins.
The free Lite version is downloaded from the vendor’s website (its former WordPress.org listing is closed). It already covers the fundamentals: unlimited affiliates, commissions and payouts, a setup wizard, an affiliate registration flow with manual or automatic approval, a front-end affiliate panel, visit and commission logs, a sitewide commission rate, cookie duration control, fancy referral URLs, shipping/tax exclusion, refund protection, email notifications and manual payout batches with CSV export.
Paid plans
Premium functionality is delivered as add-ons bundled into three plans. Standard adds per-affiliate and per-product rates, fraud detection (conversion-rate thresholds and IP blocking), advanced reports, sign-up and performance bonuses, PayPal automatic payouts and a migration tool for AffiliateWP, SliceWP, Ultimate Affiliate Pro and ARMember Affiliate. Professional adds coupon tracking, affiliate landing pages, Stripe payouts, multi-level commissions, tiered rates, recurring commissions (including WooCommerce Subscriptions) and multi-currency. Enterprise adds lifetime commissions and multi-domain support. Lifetime licences are also offered.
Limitations
- Coupons must already exist in WooCommerce or EDD and are assigned manually; there is no per-affiliate auto-generation.
- No store credit payout option is documented.
- The free build is not distributed through WordPress.org, so updates and install figures are not public.
- It is a young product, with a shorter track record than long-established rivals.
AffiliatePress is a good fit for site owners who want one affiliate system across several platforms (shop, membership, LMS, bookings) at a competitive price, and who are comfortable picking the right plan tier for MLM, recurring or coupon features.
Best for: Sites running several platforms (shop, membership, LMS, bookings) that want one self-hosted affiliate system at a modest price.
AffiliatePress offers a broad integration list and a generous free core, with most advanced commission types available in the mid-tier Professional plan. It is newer and its free build sits outside WordPress.org, and WooCommerce-specific conveniences like auto coupons are missing, but on price-to-features it is competitive.

How we estimated this: No install or customer claim found and the WordPress.org listing is closed (no public install count). As a young product, assumed ~10K–30K Lite downloads with 3–5% paid → ~500–1.5K, midpoint ~1K. Likely range: 500 to 2K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
