   for their referral coupon, including total usage, recent order details, referral
   URL generator, conversions statistics, and lots more.

**— Modern Affiliate Portal —**

 * The affiliate portal is a modern alternative to the normal affiliate dashboard.
   It offers a sleek, standalone, full-screen interface that seamlessly aligns with
   your brand.
 * The affiliate portal offers a better user-experience for your affiliates and 
   can be easily customised with your own custom brand colors and logo.
 * It includes all the same features as the normal affiliate dashboard page, but
   within its own more modern interface.

**— Floating Affiliate Widget —**

 * The floating affiliate widget is allows you to display a floating affiliate dashboard
   widget on your website. [Learn More.](https://couponaffiliates.com/docs/floating-affiliate-widget)
 * For existing affiliates, when they click the button, it provides instant access
   to a compact version of their affiliate dashboard. It will display some of the
   most important dashboard statistics and features, including their referral coupon
   and links, referral statistics, recently referred orders, payout details, and
   creatives.
 * For potential affiliates, it’s an invitation to join your program. When they 
   click the button, it gives them quick access to the registration form. You can
   also display a customisable “benefits” section on the widget explaining what 
   your affiliate program has to offer.

**— Accurate Commission Tracking —**

 * Affiliates can see the total commission earned via their coupon, and for each
   individual order they referred.
 * There are 3 types of commission amounts, including fixed commission “per product”,“
   per order”, and a “percentage” of the total order. You can even set all 3 for
   more flexible commission calculations!

**— Recent Orders List —**

 * Affiliates can view a recent order list for their coupon, with general info such
   as date, order subtotal, discount, total, products purchased, commission earned

   clicks.
 * If required, you can enable an option to track conversions via the referral URL

   URL and places an order without using the coupon code, it will still be tracked
   and award the affiliate.

## FAQ

### What is a “coupon-based” affiliate plugin for WooCommerce?

Coupon Affiliates enhances affiliate marketing by integrating coupons as a core 
feature. Unlike traditional affiliate plugins that rely primarily on referral links,
this plugin allows affiliates to share their unique coupon codes. These codes not
only track sales for commission purposes but also offer customers immediate discounts
or special offers, enriching the purchasing experience. However, the Coupon Affiliates
system still maintains the flexibility of referral links; affiliates can share URLs
that automatically apply their coupon at checkout, and even if a coupon isnt used,
you can still make the link alone track referrals, ensuring affiliates receive credit
for every sale referred​​.

### Why is this the best affiliate plugin for WooCommerce?

Coupon Affiliates is the only affiliate plugin that is built specifically for creating
a “coupon based” affiliate program for WooCommerce.

It is designed to be quick and easy to use, with a user-friendly affiliate dashboard
that includes all the features your affiliates will need.

The plugin is also highly customisable, allowing you to tailor it to your specific
requirements.

With accurate commission tracking, detailed statistics, and a variety of useful 
features, Coupon Affiliates is the best choice for anyone looking to create a successful
affiliate program for their WooCommerce store.

create a coupon-based affiliate program for WooCommerce, including an affiliate 
dashboard, referral URLs, commission tracking, and more. The Pro version adds many
advanced features such as multi-level affiliates (MLM), advanced reports and analytics,
performance bonuses, commission payouts, custom tabs, and more. You can view the
full list of features on our [website](https://couponaffiliates.com).

### What is the difference between the “Affiliate Dashboard” and “Affiliate Portal”?

The “Affiliate Dashboard” is the original dashboard page that is generated by the
plugin, which includes all the features and statistics for affiliates. The “Affiliate
Portal” is a new, modern alternative to the affiliate dashboard, which offers a 
full-screen interface that aligns with your brand. It includes all the same features
as the affiliate dashboard, but with a more user-friendly design and layout.

### Will this work with my existing coupons and orders?

Yes, once you install the plugin it will look back at the full order history for
each coupon, even those created before the installation, and display the stats for
these on the coupon affiliate dashboard too.

### How do the affiliate referral URLs work?

A referral URL is automatically generated for the affiliate, and can be found on
their dashboard. This link can then be shared by the affiliate. Anyone that visits
the website using that link, will have the coupon code automatically applied to 
their account on checkout. Clicks are also tracked, and any sales made via the coupon
are tracked as conversions.

### Can I assign affiliate users to coupons?

Yes, you can assign affiliate users to coupons, which will give them direct access
to their affiliates dashboard page, without needing to use a unique link. [Click here](https://couponaffiliates.com/docs/assign-users-to-coupons)
to learn more.

### What kind of coupon usage statistics are shown?

On the coupon affiliate dashboard, you (and your affiliates) will be able to see
a variety of statistics including total uses, discount type, orders total, amount
saved, commission earned, and more. You will also be able to see a recent order 
table (with general info such as date, order total, discount, products, commission
etc), and with the pro version you can see a monthly orders/commission summary table
for the past 12 months.

### Is there an API and webhooks available?

Yes! The plugin includes a REST API for connecting external tools, dashboards and
AI assistants to your affiliate program, with API keys, scopes and an OpenAPI document,
and it can connect AI apps through MCP. See “Coupon Affiliates > API, Webhooks &
AI”.

[Click here](https://couponaffiliates.com/api-docs/) to learn more about the API.

We were using WooCommerce for Affiliate and happily changed to this plugin after
testing it. Not only is it very feature-rich, the support team is very responsive
and knowledgable. A+ plugin, well worth upgrading to premium if Affiliates are a
core part of your business to enjoy all the features.

 [bizzmahir](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bizzmahir/) June 17, 2026 1 reply

indeed a great plugin and always get quick response and fixes from the developer.
it would be great if you can also add a feature of Payout w.r.t order Id as well.
For example, currently the pending payment is based on the commission amount of 
all the completed orders. It should also include the order Id, so that we are asure
for which order Ids, we have paid the commission. i have seen such feature in "Slice
WP" free version, so would be nice if that can also be included here.

## Changelog

#### Version 8.6.0 – 1st October 2026

 * New: AI & MCP > AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and other plugins
   such as store assistants, can now work with your affiliate program through the
   WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9 or later). 19 abilities cover your program
   summary, affiliates, coupons, referral links, referred orders and who an order
   is credited to, commission, referral clicks, registrations and recent activity,
   and (PRO) 4 more cover payouts. Each one reuses the same permission checks as
   the REST API, so an AI app can never see more than the WordPress user it signs
   in as. AI & MCP is off until you switch it on under “API, Webhooks & AI > AI &
   MCP”.
 * New: AI & MCP > MCP support. When the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin is active,
   or WooCommerce’s own “WooCommerce MCP” feature is switched on, a dedicated “Coupon
   Affiliates” MCP server is available at /wp-json/coupon-affiliates/mcp, with every
   enabled ability as a tool. The abilities are also offered through the MCP Adapter’s
   default server. AI apps sign in with a WordPress application password. The AI&
   MCP tab shows whether everything needed is in place, with setup steps and a ready-
   to-copy configuration for AI apps such as Claude Desktop. For claude.ai, ChatGPT
   and other web connectors, which sign in with OAuth, the tab suggests free MCP
   connector plugins that provide it, shows when one is already active, and warns
   when Easy MCP AI is not sharing some of the Coupon Affiliates abilities – such
   as the actions that change data, once they are allowed.
 * New: AI & MCP > Once switched on, AI apps can only read, and only admins can 
   connect. Two extra options: “Allow actions that change data” (adding affiliates,
   giving them coupons or taking coupons away, approving or declining registrations
   and, with PRO, requesting payouts and updating payout statuses), and “Let affiliates
   connect their own AI app”, which lets affiliates see exactly what their own affiliate
   dashboard shows them. Every ability can also be switched on or off individually,
   and AI apps are told which actions to confirm with you first.
 * New: AI & MCP > A “Recent AI activity” list on the AI & MCP tab shows the last
   30 calls: which ability was used, by whom, how it connected (MCP, REST API, WP-
   CLI or another plugin), and whether it worked.
 * New: AI & MCP > On stores already set up for AI apps (the MCP Adapter plugin 
   is active, or WooCommerce MCP is switched on), a one-time notice on the Coupon
   Affiliates admin pages offers to enable AI tools. It is never shown once a choice
   has been made, and each admin can dismiss it for good.
 * New: (PRO) Lifetime Commission > A “Don’t extend the expiry date when the customer
   uses the coupon again” option under Settings > Commission. By default, each time
   a customer uses the affiliate’s coupon again, their lifetime link is extended
   by the full expiry period. With this option on, the link lasts for a fixed time
   from when the customer was first linked (for example, exactly 365 days from their
   first order), however many times they use the coupon in between.
 * New: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > A “Rebuild Network Tiers” button on the MLA
   Users page. It recalculates every sub-affiliate’s tier 2 and higher parents from
   their direct (tier 1) parent, working down from the top of each network. Use 
   it once to repair networks affected by the parent chain fix below, or after changing
   the “Number of Tiers” setting to apply the new number to existing sub-affiliates.
   Only commission on future orders follows the rebuilt tiers – past commission 
   is not changed.
 * Tweak: The API page is now “API, Webhooks & AI”, organised into tabs: Overview,
   REST API, Webhooks, and AI & MCP. The Overview explains what each one is for,
   how it signs in and whether it is switched on, with an “At a glance” comparison,
   and each tab shows an on/off indicator. Saving a form returns you to the tab 
   you were on.
 * Tweak: “API, Webhooks & AI” now has its own item in the Coupon Affiliates admin
   menu, directly below “Admin Tools”. It is still listed on the Admin Tools page
   too.
 * Tweak: (PRO) “Leaderboards” has moved above “Admin Tools” in the Coupon Affiliates
   admin menu.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Webhooks > When the REST API is switched off, the Webhooks tab now
   explains that deliveries are paused, with a link to the REST API tab to switch
   it on.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Lifetime Commission > An expiry date set by hand, on the affiliate’s“
   Lifetime” tab or the customer’s user profile, is now kept when the customer uses
   the coupon again. Before, it was replaced with a new date from the expiry period.
   Only a date that was actually changed counts as set by hand, so editing just 
   the linked coupon on the “Lifetime” tab, or saving a customer’s profile without
   changing the date, leaves the date following the expiry period as before.
 * Fix: Affiliate registrations failed to save on sites whose registrations table
   still had the “date accepted” column from before version 7.8.0 – for example 
   after that table was restored from an older backup, so new applications, and 
   affiliates added from the admin, could not be saved. The table is now updated
   automatically the first time this happens, and the registration saved.
 * Fix: “Add New Affiliate” with “Assign this user to the existing coupon” ticked
   also created a second coupon with the same code, copied from the template coupon.
   The existing coupon is now used, with its own settings and balance.
 * Fix: The “Affiliate Application Accepted” email was not sent to affiliates added
   or approved by an admin while the public registration form was switched off, 
   even when that email was chosen.
 * Fix: When one user was given two affiliate coupons within a few seconds, the 
   second one got no registration record of its own, and the first record was marked
   accepted again instead.
 * Fix: The check that stops an affiliate being given an admin-level role (Administrator,
   Editor, Author or Shop Manager) when their application is accepted has been hardened.
 * Fix: (PRO) Payouts > With “Delay Commission (Number of Days)” set, the scheduled
   check that adds commission once the delay has passed could run for many minutes
   on stores with a lot of orders, holding up checkout while it ran, especially 
   where the order tables use MyISAM.
 * Fix: (PRO) Performance Bonuses > A bonus with a requirement of 0 always showed“
   0.00 / 0.00” and an empty progress bar on the affiliate dashboard, whatever the
   affiliate had actually referred. A requirement of 0 is met from the start, so
   these bonuses now show a full progress bar marked “Qualified”. This only changed
   what the dashboard showed: when the bonus is awarded is unchanged.
 * Fix: (PRO) Lifetime Commission > A customer’s orders placed without the coupon
   were not credited to their lifetime affiliate when the customer had an expiry
   date that did not apply. This affected dates set on the customer’s user profile,
   and dates left behind after the expiry period was set back to 0. The affiliate’s“
   Lifetime” tab showed these links as “Never Expires”, but the dates were never
   cleared, so the customer could stay uncredited indefinitely. These dates are 
   now ignored, as the tab already showed.
 * Fix: (PRO) Lifetime Commission > The Lifetime Affiliate fields on the user profile
   are now only saved for users who can manage other users, matching who can see
   them.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > In a network built up in stages, such as 
   by assigning sub-affiliates one at a time, affiliates further down could keep
   out-of-date tier 2 and higher parents, so the network was right near the top 
   and wrong further down. A top-level affiliate then did not see the whole network
   below them on their MLA dashboard, or earn MLA commission from all of it. Each
   sub-affiliate stores a copy of their parent’s own parents, and after a change
   the sub-affiliates were updated in no particular order, so some copied their 
   parent’s parents before those had been updated. Adding a sub-affiliate who already
   had sub-affiliates of their own did not pass the new parents down to them at 
   all. Sub-affiliates are now updated from the top down whenever a tier 1 parent
   is changed or cleared on the user profile, and when a sub-affiliate is added 
   or removed on the View Affiliate page. Networks saved before this fix can be 
   repaired with the new “Rebuild Network Tiers” button.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > Changing a parent higher up no longer cuts
   a sub-affiliate’s parents back to a deleted account when their direct parent’s
   account has been deleted. Their parents are now left as they were.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > Removing a sub-affiliate on the View Affiliate
   page now reloads the page, as adding one already does, so their own sub-affiliates,
   who leave the network with them, disappear from the table too.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > The MLA network chart stopped rendering when
   a sub-affiliate’s direct parent had no coupon, because the parent is not drawn
   on the chart but the sub-affiliate was still attached to them. Such sub-affiliates
   are now attached to the nearest parent above them that is on the chart. The same
   applies to a sub-affiliate whose direct parent’s account was deleted: they are
   now shown on the chart rather than left out.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > On sites set to 10 or more MLA tiers, tier
   10 and above were saved under the wrong name (“U0” instead of “T10”), so no MLA
   commission was ever paid for those tiers. New assignments now use the correct
   name, and “Rebuild Network Tiers” corrects existing sub-affiliates.
 * Dev: New filters for AI & MCP: “wcusage_abilities_definitions” to add, change
   or remove abilities, “wcusage_abilities_controller_files” for the REST API controllers
   they call, “wcusage_abilities_rate_limit” (default 120 reads and 20 changes per
   user per minute), “wcusage_abilities_log_size”, “wcusage_abilities_mcp_server_enabled”,“
   wcusage_abilities_show_notice”, “wcusage_abilities_connector_plugins”, “wcusage_abilities_connector_gaps”
   and “wcusage_abilities_request_channel”.
 * Dev: A “wcusage_api_admin_handle_action” filter for handling custom form actions
   on the API, Webhooks & AI screen.
 * Dev: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > New “wcusage_mla_refresh_sub_affiliate_parents(
   $user_id )” and “wcusage_mla_refresh_all_parents()” functions. “wcusage_mla_add_parent_to_user()”
   still only updates the one user, so code that assigns MLA parents to a user who
   may already have sub-affiliates should call “wcusage_mla_refresh_sub_affiliate_parents()”
   for that user afterwards.

#### Version 8.5.1 – 22nd September 2026

 * Fix: (PRO) The Simple Store Credit “Install Free Version Now” button failed with“
   Plugin not found.” and the “Get Free Version” link opened a missing page, both
   from the wrong WordPress.org slug.
 * Fix: (PRO) The Simple Store Credit migration tool reported “No customers with
   a balance were found in this plugin.” for the built-in store credit source, even
   though running it did migrate those balances, and it never offered to import 
   past payouts into the wallet activity log. The built-in wallet now reports its
   customer count and total up front, and declares the payout history it can provide.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Simple Store Credit now installs and activates without leaving the
   settings screen, then swaps straight to the integration settings so unsaved changes
   are kept (unchanged without JavaScript). The panel also states what is about 
   to be installed, and lists the Free and PRO options more nicely.

#### Version 8.5.0 – 21st September 2026

 * New: (PRO) Store Credit Payouts > Built-in integration with the “Simple Store
   Credit for WooCommerce” plugin by RelyWP, now the recommended first option in
   the “Wallet System” dropdown. Store credit payouts are added straight to the 
   affiliate’s Simple Store Credit wallet in one click, with no separate integration
   addon needed. Works with both the free and PRO versions of the plugin, and the
   settings section offers a one-click install of the free version when it is not
   yet installed.
 * New: (PRO) Store Credit Payouts > Integration settings for Simple Store Credit:
   deliver payouts to the wallet balance or as credit voucher codes (with an optional
   voucher expiry), and choose whether the balance shown to affiliates includes 
   their unused voucher credit. Live status of the wallet plugin’s credit systems
   is shown alongside, and the “Store Credit” column on the admin users list is 
   supported for this wallet too.
 * New: (PRO) Store Credit Payouts > Migrate built-in store credit into Simple Store
   Credit. The built-in wallet appears as a source in the Simple Store Credit migration
   tool (Store Credit > Migration) whenever any users still hold built-in credit,
   with the choice of adding to or overriding their wallet balances, plus an optional
   import of their past store credit payouts into the wallet activity log. The Payouts
   settings show how many users hold built-in credit and its total value, with a
   button to open the migration tool and another to clear the built-in balances 
   afterwards (each cleared balance is backed up to user meta first). Once a migration
   has covered every credit holder, the panel shrinks to a small footer link, and
   the “Migration” item is removed from the Store Credit admin menu again if the
   built-in wallet was the only migration source on offer (the migration tool stays
   reachable from that footer link).
 * Tweak: (PRO) Payouts > The payout payment methods under “Payment Methods” in 
   the Payouts settings tab are now shown as collapsible accordions, each closed
   by default with only the enable toggle, method name and a “Show Settings” button
   visible. Enabling a method opens it automatically, and disabled methods are greyed
   out and cannot be opened.
 * Tweak: Short URLs > A shortlink can now also be created for the domain your referral
   links actually point at, not only the WordPress domain, so the Short URL generator
   keeps working on sites using the new referral URL filter. Everything else is 
   still rejected as before, and the domain check is no longer case sensitive.
 * Fix: The “Default Referral URL Page” setting was rebuilt onto the WordPress domain
   if it had been saved with an upper case “WWW.” prefix, because the check that
   ignores the prefix was case sensitive and treated the URL as belonging to a different
   site.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > Opening an affiliate under “Coupon Affiliates
   > Affiliates” could show a critical error, with “Allowed memory size of … bytes
   exhausted” logged against the View Affiliate page. If an affiliate had been given
   a parent who was already somewhere below them in their own network, the resulting
   circular chain made the Sub-Affiliates table follow the same affiliates round
   in circles until PHP ran out of memory. Raising the memory limit only delayed
   the error. The table now stops as soon as it revisits an affiliate, so a network
   that already contains a loop opens normally instead of taking the page down.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > The “Tier 1 – Parent User” field on a user’s
   profile accepted any username, including one of that affiliate’s own sub-affiliates,
   which is what created the circular network above. The assignment is now refused
   with an explanation, and the existing parent is left unchanged.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > The MLA network chart could trigger a critical
   error on PHP 8 if a user account shown in the network had since been deleted.
   Deleted accounts are now left out of the chart and the sub-affiliates table.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > PHP warnings (“Undefined array key wcusage_mla_dashboard_page”)
   were logged on the MLA settings screen and whenever an MLA dashboard link was
   built, on sites where the MLA Dashboard Page setting had never been saved.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > The “Add Sub-Affiliate” button on the View
   Affiliate page reported that a sub-affiliate had been added when the assignment
   had actually been refused for creating a loop in the network. It now explains
   why instead. Sub-affiliate invite records and “new sub-affiliate” notifications
   are likewise no longer created for a registration whose parent assignment was
   refused.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > A deleted account in the middle of a network
   left the MLA network chart with a branch hanging off a node that was no longer
   drawn, which stopped the whole chart from rendering rather than just that branch.
   Those branches are now left out as well. A deleted coupon owner no longer triggers
   a PHP warning on the sub-affiliate coupon list either.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > With “Make MLA Dashboard ‘Invite Only’” enabled,
   an admin opening an affiliate’s MLA dashboard saw “Viewing MLA dashboard for 
   user: …” immediately followed by “Sorry, you do not have permission to view the
   MLA dashboard.” The access check was meant to let admins through, but it only
   skipped blocking them rather than granting access, so any admin who had not separately
   been given “MLA Dashboard Access” on their own profile was refused every MLA 
   dashboard, including their own affiliates’. Admin access is now granted outright,
   and the dashboard stays invite only for everyone else exactly as before.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > The “MLA Dashboard” link on the affiliate
   dashboard sent an MLA parent to the wrong place while they were viewing one of
   their sub-affiliates’ coupons. The link was built for the affiliate being viewed
   rather than for the person viewing, so it opened the MLA dashboard with that 
   sub-affiliate’s username attached. It now takes an MLA parent back to their own
   MLA dashboard, while an admin previewing an affiliate is still taken to that 
   affiliate’s MLA dashboard as before.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > An MLA parent opening the MLA dashboard of
   one of their own sub-affiliates (the MLA dashboard page with “?user=” in the 
   address) was refused with “Sorry, you do not have permission to view the MLA 
   dashboard for user: …”, even though that sub-affiliate was in their network. 
   The parent check compared the logged-in user’s ID against the saved parent IDs
   too strictly for the form they are stored in, so it never matched. Admins were
   not affected.
 * Fix: (PRO) Multi-Level Affiliates > With a role such as Shop Manager given full
   access under “Admin Permissions” (Settings > Advanced), users in that role could
   open the MLA tab on the View Affiliate page but could not add or remove a sub-
   affiliate, or search for one to add: each attempt was refused as “Unauthorized”.
   Those three actions still required the built-in administrator capability instead
   of the plugin’s own admin permission setting, which the rest of the View Affiliate
   page already uses. They now honour the setting.
 * Fix: Referral links were built by starting a fresh “?” query string, so a referral
   URL that already had parameters of its own produced a link with two “?” in it.
   The coupon is now added to the existing query string instead, in the affiliate
   dashboard, the creatives embed codes, the affiliate widget, the referral URL 
   shortcodes and the registration emails.
 * Fix: An order’s per-product commission was read back from the saved order meta
   before the freshly calculated figure had been written, so a coupon-level “Refresh
   Statistics” and the “Recalculate” button on an order could disagree, with an 
   order’s commission flipping between two values each time it was recalculated 
   and the breakdown on the order showing parts that did not add up to the total.
   The calculated figure is now kept, so both tools settle on the same amount.
 * Fix: Blocked referrer domains were not actually being blocked when a referral
   click was recorded, because the domain being checked was discarded before the
   comparison ran. Clicks from a domain listed under “Blocked Domains” are no longer
   recorded.
 * Fix: A PHP deprecation notice (“Passing null to parameter #1 of type string”)
   was logged on PHP 8.1 and above when the “Default Referral URL Page” setting 
   held a URL with no page path, which is the usual shape of one left behind by 
   a site migration. On a WordPress installed in a subdirectory, that same repair
   also no longer repeats the subdirectory in the rebuilt URL.
 * Tweak: Short URLs > The short link redirect no longer inspects the URL on ordinary
   page loads, only on short link ones.
 * Dev: A “wcusage_default_ref_url” filter for the referral URL that every affiliate
   link is built from. The “Default Referral URL Page” setting is corrected back
   to your WordPress domain whenever the two disagree, so that a URL left behind
   by a site migration repairs itself rather than sending affiliates to a domain
   the shop no longer owns. Sites that deliberately serve their shop from a different
   domain to the WordPress install, such as a separate front end or a headless setup,
   can now use this filter instead of fighting that correction. It covers the affiliate
   dashboard, the referral URL generator, the social share buttons, QR codes, creatives,
   the affiliate widget, the referral URL shortcodes and the registration emails.
 * Dev: A “wcusage_affiliate_url” filter, which runs on the finished referral link
   after the coupon code has been added, for replacing a whole URL rather than just
   the part before the coupon code. It covers the affiliate dashboard, QR codes,
   creatives, the referral URL shortcodes and the registration emails.
 * Dev: A “wcusage_record_click()” function for recording a referral click from 
   outside the plugin, for a front end that handles referral links itself and still
   wants the click to reach the affiliate’s URL statistics. It takes a coupon code
   plus optional campaign, landing page, referrer and visitor details, and returns
   the ID of the click it saved. A click whose referrer is one of the site’s blocked
   domains is not recorded. A “wcusage_click_recorded” action fires afterwards.
 * Dev: A “wcusage_conversion_click_id” filter for telling the plugin which recorded
   click an order should be counted as the conversion of. Conversions are normally
   matched using a cookie set when the visitor follows the referral link, which 
   a front end recording its own clicks has no way to set, so the click ID can now
   be supplied directly. Note that it runs where the plugin marks conversions, on
   the WooCommerce order received page, so a front end that never loads that page
   will need to mark the conversion itself.

#### Version 8.4.0 – 14th September 2026

 * New: Suspend Affiliates > You can now suspend an affiliate instead of deleting
   them, from a “Suspend” button on the View Affiliate page or from the actions 
   dropdown on the affiliates list. A suspended affiliate cannot access their affiliate
   dashboard, portal or MLA dashboard, and none of their coupons can be applied 
   to a cart, auto-applied from a referral link, or used at checkout. Nothing is
   deleted – the user, their coupons, statistics, commission and payout history 
   are all kept and stay fully viewable and editable by admins, and the suspension
   can be lifted at any time.
 * New: Suspend Affiliates > Suspended affiliates are flagged with a “Suspended”
   badge on the affiliates list and a banner on their View Affiliate page showing
   when they were suspended and by whom. Their coupons show a “Locked” padlock beside
   the coupon code on both the Coupon Affiliates coupons list and the WooCommerce
   Coupons list.
 * New: Suspend Affiliates > Suspending and un-suspending an affiliate is recorded
   in the activity log.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The scheduled affiliate report has been rebuilt.
   Alongside the existing figures it can now show a headline earnings banner, a 
   percentage change against the previous period on every statistic, best selling
   products, where the clicks came from (referring sites, landing pages and campaigns),
   new versus returning customers, payout activity, leaderboard position, sub-affiliate
   network totals.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Three templates – “Modern” (the full report), “
   Minimal” (headline figures and a dashboard link) and “Classic” (the original 
   three blocks of statistics) – plus individual switches for every section and 
   every statistic, so each report can be built exactly as you want it. Anything
   switched off is no longer calculated, so a shorter report is also a faster one.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > A “Preview” button on the settings screen renders
   the real report for any coupon, email and PDF, without sending anything.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Extra statistics available as cards: average order
   value, earnings per click, items sold, commission per order, paid this period
   and paid to date.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > New settings for the accent colour, cards per 
   row, paper size, subject line, every section heading, the dashboard button text,
   and a plain text version of the email for clients that prefer one.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Reports are now sent in batches in the background,
   with a schedule status panel showing the next run, how many were sent, and why
   any failed. Previously every affiliate was processed in one cron request, which
   could run past the PHP time limit on a large programme and leave the remaining
   affiliates without a report.
 * New: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Options to skip affiliates with no activity in
   the period, to delete generated PDFs after a number of months, and to block direct
   web access to the saved report files.
 * New: (PRO) Mailing List Integrations > FluentCRM is now supported. Choose a list
   and a tag to apply when an affiliate joins your program, with an option to require
   double opt-in.
 * New: (PRO) Scheduled Payout Requests > You can now choose which day of the month
   a monthly schedule runs on, rather than always the 1st. Pick any date from the
   1st to the 31st, or “Last day of the month”. If the chosen date does not exist
   in a month (such as the 31st in February), the last day of that month is used
   instead.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The email and the PDF are now built from one
   set of figures and one set of layout components shared with payout statements,
   so the two documents agree with each other and look related.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Report PDFs are saved with an unguessable filename,
   and a shop manager can view or download any affiliate’s current report from the
   settings screen.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > A report never shows an affiliate more than 
   their dashboard does. Sections tied to a dashboard feature you have hidden (commission,
   referral URLs, products in the orders list, customer names, campaigns, payouts,
   the multi-level network) are left out of the report automatically.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The Reports settings tab has been reorganised
   into titled panels with related options side by side, and the preview / test 
   dialog now reports whether the PDF was attached to the test email (and why not,
   if it was not). Section toggles whose dashboard feature is switched off are shown
   greyed out with the reason.
 * Tweak: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Stat cards on the PDF are balanced across rows
   so a group never ends with a single card, and tables may continue onto the next
   page instead of leaving the previous page half empty.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Weekly reports covered the wrong dates. The date
   range was built with “first day of last week”, which PHP does not understand 
   as a week, so weekly reports were reporting on a range roughly two months wide.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Quarterly reports were always empty. The range
   started at the first day of the UPCOMING quarter, which has no orders in it yet.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The subject line, PDF title and saved file path
   always said “last month”, whatever the schedule was set to.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The PDF attachment was passed to the mailer as
   a URL rather than a file path, so some SMTP plugins sent the email without it.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > Report styling was added to every WooCommerce 
   email the store sent, and once a report email logo was set it replaced the store
   logo in customer order emails too. Report styling is now applied only while a
   report is being sent.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > The statistics grid was laid out with floated 
   columns, which Outlook ignores, so the figures stacked into one long column for
   many recipients. Everything is now built from tables that render the same in 
   every mail client, and stays readable at phone width.
 * Fix: (PRO) Affiliate Reports > PDFs used a core font that cannot render anything
   outside Western European characters, so affiliate names and many currency symbols

 * Fix: (PRO) PDF documents > Bold text in PDF reports and statements was rendering
   at regular weight, because the embedded Unicode font ships without a bold face.
   Bold is now synthesised when no bold face is available, so headings, figures 
   and labels have proper weight contrast.

   code at cart / checkout” was switched off and the billing email address did not
   belong to a registered user account. The coupon check now looks the user up safely
   and is skipped when there is no matching account.

   designer. Rather than filling in ten fixed text slots and positioning them with
   margin numbers, you now place text, QR codes, images, profile pictures and shapes
   on a live canvas by dragging them, with snapping guides, arrow-key nudging, undo
   and redo, multi-select, copy and paste, and a layer list for ordering. See “Coupon
   Affiliates > Creatives”.
 * New: (PRO) Creatives > A creative no longer needs a background image. Leave the
   image empty to design on a blank canvas of any size, with …
