Product Description
AffiliateWP Store Credit changes how affiliate commissions are distributed. Instead of paying affiliates through PayPal or direct bank transfers, commissions are converted to WooCommerce store credit that affiliates can use for purchases on your store. This approach retains commission funds within your business ecosystem.
How Store Credit Works
When an affiliate earns a commission, the amount is added to their store credit balance instead of their payout queue. Affiliates can view their credit balance in their account dashboard and apply it during WooCommerce checkout as a payment method, similar to a gift card or account balance.
Configuration Options
- Full or partial credit — pay all commissions as store credit or allow a percentage split between credit and cash
- Per-affiliate settings — configure store credit on a per-affiliate basis, allowing some affiliates to receive credit while others receive cash
- Credit expiration — optionally set expiration periods for unused store credit balances
- Minimum threshold — set minimum earning amounts before credit is applied to the balance
Affiliate Dashboard
Affiliates see their store credit balance, transaction history, and available credit in their AffiliateWP account area. The credit balance updates automatically when commissions are earned and when credit is used for purchases.
Business Benefits
Store credit commissions keep affiliate earnings circulating within your store. Affiliates who earn credit become repeat customers, generating additional revenue. The approach works well for stores where affiliates are also regular customers of the products they promote.
Our Verdict

Expert Reviewer
A smart option for stores where affiliates overlap with customers. The revenue retention model works when affiliates value store products, though it should be offered as an option rather than forced.
