FluentAffiliate (Internal Beta) announcement
We are upgrading another piece with our homegrown Affiliate Plugin - FluentAffiliate!
What is FluentAffiliate?
FluentAffiliate is a powerful yet refreshingly simple WordPress plugin that lets businesses launch and run a fully self-hosted affiliate program, without the usual complexity. Designed for speed and ease, it connects effortlessly with popular eCommerce, form, and payment plugins, giving you everything you need to turn affiliates into a high-performing sales stream.
Why We’re Building FluentAffiliate?
Around 25% of our sales are made from our affiliates, and it's a super important part of our business, and I am sure it's similar for every business. We were a super-power user of the AffiliateWP plugin and it works great, but in the last 5-6 years, the plugin has not received any significant updates. We rely on data, and it's super hard to get reports and analyze the affiliate data. That's why we built this affiliate plugin to power our store and make it public so everyone can use it and empower their businesses.
Here’s what makes FluentAffiliate different:
- Fast & Lightweight: Like all our plugins, FluentAffiliate is built for performance—fast, responsive, and optimized to keep your site running smoothly.
- Smarter Affiliate Management: From onboarding to tracking and payouts, everything is designed to streamline your workflow and boost productivity.
- Seamless eCommerce Integrations: Get one-click integration with WooCommerce, EDD, SureCart, and EasyCart—no extra setup required.
- Designed for Ease of Use: Whether you're an admin or an affiliate, the clean, intuitive interface makes everything simple and stress-free.
- Multi-domain affiliate: FluentAffiliate allows you to manage affiliates and track referrals for several domains, all from one central dashboard.
FluentAffiliate is the most powerful and flexible affiliate plugin in WordPress.
When are we going to launch FluentAffiliate?
We are currently testing with our store internally, and within the next few days, we are going to migrate all data from AffiliateWP to FluentAffiliate in our store and start using on our production site. Yes, we are super confident with this plugin.
Next week, we will start giving access to the users from the waitlist, gather feedback, improve it, and make it ready for public release.
Please join the waitlist & be the first to experience FluentAffiliate. Also, join this community space and share your thoughts.
Please integrate with SureCart!
Hac Media Our team has already integrated SureCart. Here are the details: https://fluentaffiliate.com/integrations/surecart/
Shahjahan Jewel take my money
Will there be a way to do automatic payouts?
Tambria Kemp We have plan to integrate with PayPal payout service. But we are making sure the payout exports are compatible with PayPal from the very first.
Shahjahan Jewel this is perfect timing; we were planning to launch with AffiliateWP next week.
I'm looking forward to Fluent Affiliate.
When can we test the beta?
André Salier After we implement on our production site in the next few days. Hoping to give the beta mid next week.
Shahjahan Jewel perfekt 👍🙏
What about integration with Stripe/Voxel :)
Donald McGuinn voxel maybe!
Shahjahan Jewel if you did, you would be the only affiliate system that works with Voxel and it would be huge!
Donald McGuinn will make it a priority
Donald McGuinn what is Voxel and how are you using it?
Ceez Vision it is without a doubt the best Wordpress directory and dynamic theme out there. Check out https://voxel.guide
Shahjahan Jewel why no stripe :(
Liam A McDonald my comment was for stripe/voxel system. not stripe.
Great news, I was just about to sign up with SliceWP.
Do you have any comparison with other products such as AffiliatesWP, Siren and SolidAfiliates?
Eduardo Vanotti as we are migrating from AffiliateWP so it will have all the features that AffiliateWP has at this moment.
Eduardo Vanotti Here is the summary of the comparison with others: https://fluentaffiliate.com/fluentaffiliate-vs-other-plugins/
Shahjahan Jewel Awesome!
Shahjahan Jewel Hello Shahjahan. All the features? Do you mean the basic ones or also from the addons? Because the multilevel or multitiered addon is very important. We have sites where partners can have 1 sub-group of partners they brought to the company and should be rewarded, so it's kind of a 1-level mlm setup.
Also Fluent should make it way easier to handle partners, reports and payouts. AffiliateWP is really not 'there' in that regard. I'm very excited to see what you'll be coming up with.
Shahjahan Jewel im using solid affiliate. do we have the integration?
CAn you integrate with elementor too? for leads? Or webinarjam...
the ideea is to see wich affiliate brings you leads also, not just sales
Cristian Ciuberea We will have integration with Fluent Forms (both form submission and payment tracking).
Awesome! Congratulations! Shahjahan Jewel
Would love a simple integration with FluentForms. We just need to track form completions, thank you!!!
Nick Magiera already done ✅
Shahjahan Jewel Awesome!
As long as it integrates nicely with the Fluent community, I will love to have it... You guys are doing amazing job
Shahjahan Jewel is it possible to payout in 'store credit'?
Natascha Vantuykom Not at the very first.
Shahjahan Jewel but for the future it will 🤩
Shahjahan Jewel, need this store credit asap! I've promised students a free month if they refer a friend. This is probably the only obstacle I have to wholeheartedly adopting the new tool!
Very interesting development. We are heavy users of AffiliateWP. Things that are essential for us:
- WooCommerce differential rates per product
- Lifetime Commissions
The big headache we have from AffiliateWP is that it is not possible to allow different affiliate product rates based on quantity purchased. This is relevant because in our industry competitors and especially suppliers selling D2C give very big discounts for multiple purchases so much of the margin is gone and we can't afford to pay out the same percentage of commission. I get round this by bundling with WC bundles, but it is a messy solution and I would very much like a solution that simplified it.
Christopher Miller FluentAffiliate will have per per-product commission rate with woocommerce :)
Shahjahan Jewel Will you have that for MemberPress, too? What about tiered commission rates and how many tiers can we offer?
Courtney Page Memberpress will be supported from the very first. Tiered commission rates will be available after a few months.
Shahjahan Jewel Ok, thank you. Once you get tiered commission, I am definitely interested, but I need four-tier commissions. Will that be possible and when do you plan on launching that in terms of quarters or can you not say?
Can someone please help clarify my understanding of this news? Is FluentAffiliate different from AzonPress?
Tobi Akiode FluentAffiliate is to run your own affiliate program. Azonpress is to run affliates from others and for example automatically retrieve the right products beside your posts.
Wilco Thank you, Wilco.
Amazing! Congratulation Shahjahan Jewel !
Couple of questions:
- Are you planning on frontend panels for affiliates?
- Will there be different tiers for affiliates?
- Following question #1 - will the panels be integrated in the contacts fluentcommunity profile?
Will it be possible without automation to make payments yourself and then mark in the system that the payment to the referral has been made?
Absolutely fantastic! Cannot wait to test it and buy the unlimited plan.
Shahjahan Jewel , with the affiliate product out, and chace you are planning to build the Fluent Directory product to complete the circle? ;)
I am not getting the signup email. What domain do they come from?
Fluentaffiliate.com is the answer.
I added that to my allowed domains rule, and the email made it through.
Please native intergration for Fluentcommunity, so our paid members can get discounts on their subscriptions or cash payouts, for referring others.
Awesome!!
great news. Will it be possibile to port all the data from affiliate wp to the new plugin? and, will it be possibile to enrol users to become affiliate by adding tags by fluentcrm?
Tindaro Battaglia Jewel said they are doing a migration tool. Don't recall re: tags--I don't think I've read that.
Tindaro Battaglia Yes, we will have 100% data migration.
Excellent and thank you.
Affiliate module sounds good to me, and is coming at the right time (I'm on the verge of wanting to set up a proper affiliate scheme, so this is perfect timing).
Question regarding integrations - will you be adding at some stage support for SCP (Smart Content Press)? That's what I use as my membership plugin in WP, including handling purchases and subscriptions, to some way of supporting that would be pretty helpful.
I'm really looking forward to this! Bonus if it's working with Mollie :)
Are you kidding me! I love Fluent because I was JUST in the market for a good affliate program that was compatible for my community. :D WOW!
Oh amazing!!!
I can't believe what I'm seeing. I have been meaning to run a request past you for an affiliate plugin from WPNinja, and now here I find out that you guys are working on this. This + fluentbooking is going to be amazing together. I'm absolutely blown away with this. What a complete ecosystem.
Will you integrate with MemberPress? Will you have multi-tier commissions and variable commissions per product?
Shahjahan Jewel Have we had a pre-test this week?
Will we have the possibility of a lifetime purchase with unlimited activations at launch? When will it be released?
Shahjahan Jewel just checking. After completing the form you get the following message. Please CHECK YOUR EMAIL inbox to confirm this submission.
I'm assuming I won't get this confirmation because you already have my email?
Any update when (and if) we can beta-test? 😊
Shahjahan Jewel Is there any news on when we can test the beta version?
Guys, we have an update here: https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/fluentaffiliate/post/fluentaffiliate-beta-is-starti
