About this plugin
TELO Affiliates adds a lightweight affiliate layer on top of WooCommerce without heavy dependencies. Ideal if you want to:
- Create a unique link for each affiliate (with configurable URL parameter) and track associated orders.
- Show each affiliate their dashboard with sales, commissions and payout request via shortcode.
- Manage payouts: mark commissions as paid (with history) or approve payout requests sent from the affiliate dashboard.
- Create public pages per affiliate ( /panel-afiliado/{slug} ) with a dedicated template, no header/sidebars, and forced noindex/nofollow.
- Import/Export your affiliates in JSON (slug, name and commission % only).
- Use admin tables based on WP_List_Table with search, sorting and pagination.
