Dreamax Affiliates

Dreamax Affiliates helps WooCommerce stores manage an affiliate program inside WordPress. Program data remains in the site’s database; there is no required external account, telemetry service, or automatic payout provider.

Affiliates can apply, create referral links, use assigned coupons and creatives, view performance, maintain payout details, request eligible payouts, and review payout history. Administrators can manage affiliates, global or affiliate commission rates, basic reports, refunds, diagnostics, and manual payout batches.

Dreamax Affiliates records payout activity but does not send money automatically. It does not connect to PayPal Payouts, Stripe Connect, or banking APIs. Administrators pay affiliates outside the plugin and then record the payment reference and status.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.4 or later

• PHP 8.0 or later

• WooCommerce 8.2 or later for order attribution, commissions, coupons, and refunds

Privacy and external services

Dreamax Affiliates does not automatically send affiliate, referral, payout, analytics, or diagnostic data to a Dreamax Soft-owned service.

User-triggered social sharing runs only after the affiliate chooses a destination; a share request occurs only after that action. The generated referral URL and optional share text are passed to Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, the browser’s native share interface, or the configured email application. Each destination applies its own terms and privacy policy.

Dreamax Affiliates does not receive the share result.

A store manager may configure a creative with an external image URL. The affiliate’s browser then requests that image from the remote host, which may receive ordinary connection data. Using the WordPress Media Library avoids that external request.

QR codes are generated locally in the browser with a bundled GPL-compatible dependency. Email notifications use the site’s configured WordPress email system. Dreamax Affiliates does not download or execute remote plugin code.

Developer extension API

0 adds four additive Free-owned extension boundaries. 2 extensions remain compatible.

• affilio_diagnostics_system_checks filters the final local diagnostics collection. Entries are normalized to status, label, detail, action_url, and action_label; allowed statuses are good, warning, and critical.

• affilio_commission_initial_state filters the default unpaid / null state and receives a privacy-minimized scalar qualification context. Free accepts only unpaid / null or pending with a strictly valid future site-local MySQL datetime.

• The application.commission_approval service exposes bounded release_eligible( $limit ), plus explicit request_handoff(), withdraw_handoff(), and is_handoff_requested() operations. Handoff is site-local, inactive by default, preserves stored eligibility dates, and schedules only while explicitly requested.

• affilio_visit_identifiers_anonymized fires after a successful visit-identifier mutation with one minimal context array: retention cleanup supplies scope and cutoff; affiliate erasure supplies scope and affiliate_id.

Extensions should use the commission-approval service rather than updating referral status directly. Free retains transition validation, conditional database writes, auditing, and affilio_referral_status_changed dispatch.
