YITH lists $179.99 a year for one site; we’ve assumed it renews at the same price, as YITH doesn’t publish a renewal price.

Switching
Moving from YITH Affiliates
You’re already on WooCommerce, so if your affiliates have coupons, there’s very little to move. Coupon Affiliates looks back at your full order history and calculates each affiliate’s statistics, even for orders placed before you installed it.
- Keep the coupon codes your affiliates already share
- Past orders are included in their stats
- Help from our team if you need it
It’s exactly what I was looking for in an affiliate plugin, and all my affiliates are loving the dashboard access.
