What it does
Most affiliate programs pay only after a purchase or a form submission. That leaves affiliates with nothing for the people they send who register but have not bought anything yet. This add-on closes that gap by paying a commission at the moment a referred visitor creates a WordPress user account. It suits sites where growing the list of registered users matters, such as stores, communities and sites that need people to sign up before they can take the next step.
The add-on plugs into the registration flows of several WordPress plugins, including Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms with its User Registration add-on, and UserPro. It also covers affiliate registrations. You can set a different commission amount for each integration, set any of them to zero, and choose whether new signup referrals are marked as pending or unpaid. Admins can also see which affiliate referred a new affiliate, right on that affiliate's edit screen.
Best for
- AffiliateWP sites that want to reward affiliates for registrations
- WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads stores growing customer accounts
- Gravity Forms sites using the User Registration add-on
Features
Commission on user signups
Affiliates automatically receive a flat-rate commission when a visitor they referred creates a WordPress account, so registrations count as rewarded actions alongside sales.
Works with popular plugins
Tracks signup referrals made through Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms with the User Registration add-on, UserPro, and affiliate registrations.
Per-integration commission amounts
Set a separate commission amount for each supported integration, so a signup through one plugin can pay differently from a signup through another.
Pending or unpaid status
Choose whether signup referrals are recorded as pending or unpaid, which gives you control over when those commissions are reviewed and paid out.
Referring affiliate on edit screen
When an affiliate refers a new affiliate, the referring affiliate ID appears on the new affiliate's admin edit screen, making the connection easy to check.
Zero commission option
Set the signup commission to zero for any source you do not want to reward, without switching off signup referral tracking for the others.

Questions about Signup Referrals
Do affiliates get paid only when a referral buys something?
No. This add-on awards a flat-rate commission when a referred visitor creates a WordPress user account. Your regular AffiliateWP sale commissions continue to work as usual, so signups simply become another action you can reward.
Which registration forms does it work with?
It tracks signups made through Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms with the User Registration add-on, and UserPro. It also handles affiliate registrations, so you can reward an affiliate who refers a new affiliate.
Can I pay different amounts depending on where the signup happens?
Yes. Each supported integration has its own commission setting. You can pay more for signups from one source than another, or set a source to zero if you do not want to reward signups from it at all.
Can I review signup commissions before paying them?
You can choose whether new signup referrals are marked as pending or unpaid. Marking them as pending lets you check each referral before approving it, while unpaid suits sites that want them ready for payout right away.
Is Signup Referrals free?
