Overview
Solid Affiliate is a premium-only affiliate management plugin focused on WooCommerce. It installs as a regular plugin on your own site, detects WooCommerce automatically and starts tracking referrals through links, coupons and (optionally) landing pages, with no transaction fees or per-affiliate charges.
Setup runs through a short wizard. Affiliates apply via a registration form (a drag-and-drop custom form builder is in the top plan), and approved partners get a portal page (created via shortcode) showing referrals, visits, earnings, links and creatives. Admins get an activity feed, affiliate groups, a dashboard of real-time stats, and can add a referral manually against a WooCommerce order when tracking misses one.
Commissions and coupons
Rates can be set per affiliate, per group, per product, per variation and per category, with options to exclude tax and shipping. A WooCommerce coupon can be linked to an affiliate on every plan, and an Automatic Affiliate Coupons addon creates a coupon for each affiliate on approval, cloned from a template coupon. The Pro plan adds lifetime commissions, revenue sharing, coupon discount links, custom affiliate slugs, landing pages, a fraud prevention suite and WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal referrals at a separate rate.
Payouts
Every plan includes one-click bulk PayPal payouts, manual payouts with CSV export, and store credit that affiliates can apply in the cart. Refunded or cancelled orders automatically reject unpaid referrals, and HPOS support was added in 2024.
Limitations
- No multi-level (MLM) commissions; the vendor FAQ confirms it is not offered.
- No tiered or milestone bonuses, only a sign-up bonus from the Expert plan.
- No Stripe payouts and no support for EDD or other carts.
- Many headline features (slugs, landing pages, renewals, fraud suite) are reserved for the most expensive plan.
Solid Affiliate fits WooCommerce stores that want a polished, self-hosted affiliate program with automatic coupons, PayPal mass payouts and store credit, and that do not need MLM networks or non-WooCommerce platforms. Budget for the Pro plan if you sell subscriptions or want vanity links and fraud tools.
Best for: WooCommerce stores wanting a self-hosted affiliate program with automatic coupons, PayPal mass payouts and store credit, without MLM.
Solid Affiliate is a well-designed WooCommerce affiliate plugin with useful touches like template-based auto coupons and built-in store credit. Its gaps are MLM, Stripe and tiered rewards, and its best features are locked to the $749/year Pro plan, so compare total cost carefully.
