AffiliateWP – Sign Up Bonus

Sign Up Bonus is an AffiliateWP add-on that entices affiliates to register by offering them a sign up bonus.

When an affiliate registers through the AffiliateWP registration form, or you add one manually in the admin, a bonus is awarded. You set the amount in the settings. It is created as a referral with the description "Sign Up Bonus", visible on the Affiliates, Referrals screen. Affiliates see it under Unpaid Earnings and Referrals on their dashboard. If "Require approval" is on, or you add an affiliate with a pending status, the bonus is created only after approval.

On AffiliateWP 1.7 and higher, the add affiliate screen has two extra fields. Sign Up Bonus turns the bonus on or off per affiliate. Sign Up Bonus Amount sets it per affiliate and overrides the global setting. Include a minimum payout amount in your affiliate terms so new affiliates do not request a payout straight away.
