Coupon Affiliates – Version 5.1.0 – Automatic Payouts, Reverse Payouts, and more.

Version 5.1.0 of Coupon Affiliates for WooCommerce is now available.

This update includes some improvements to the payouts module, including automatic payouts, and the option to reverse payouts. Additionally, we have made lots of other small tweaks, improvements, and small bug fixes.


Automatic Payouts

A new option has been added to automatically & instantly pay affiliate commission into their account after a payout request is made.

However, there are 2 extra options available to set certain limitations on when payout requests shouldn’t be paid automatically:

  • Set a threshold on the maximum amount that can be paid automatically. Any payout requests above this amount will require manual approval.
  • Require manual approval for the affiliates’ first payout request.

This new feature will allow you to fully automate your system, requiring even less work on your end. However, when using this option, you should be even more careful of fraudulent activity. Keep an eye on your referrals and payouts to make sure nothing looks suspicious.


Reverse Payouts

When payouts are paid via Stripe, or Store Credit (our built-in system), a new button is available in the admin payouts section, to automatically reverse and refund the payout.

(This applies to new payout requests created after installing this update.)


Other Tweaks & Improvements

  • Edited styling of notifications and some buttons on admin pages.
  • In the user payout email, changed the “Payment method” merge tag to show the full payment method name instead of the universal method ID.
  • Added payout ID to payouts events in activity log.
  • Improved styling on mobile for add registration and add domain popups in admin area.
  • Improved style of text on the MLA network tree diagram.
