Built for responsible partner programs
Affiliate links alone do not establish a valid commission. We keep network policies, merchant-specific rules, partner approval, website approval and promotion-method approval separate. Missing evidence remains UNKNOWN. Merchant-specific tax, privacy and disclosure obligations require review for the target market.
In the US, advertisers and paid endorsers have disclosure and monitoring responsibilities. In the EU, non-essential tracking cookies may require prior consent. FTC guidance · EU cookie guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to join an affiliate network?
No. A merchant can operate a direct program, but needs trustworthy attribution, partner management, fraud controls and payouts. A network may simplify some operations at additional cost.
Can I install the WooCommerce bridge today?
The plugin exists as a technical pilot package. It should only be used with an authorized test environment and configured server receiver. It is not a generally supported production plugin yet.
Does LearnAffiliates pay partners automatically?
No. Verified payment-provider integration and independent bank settlement evidence are required before automated payouts can be offered.
Can I use it for subscriptions?
Subscription support is part of the Stripe/SaaS integration plan, but live recurring commission processing remains under development.
Where should I start?
Complete the readiness checklist, review the launch guide and review pilot access status.
Our roadmap to plug-and-play
We are building a verified, self-service affiliate program platform in three stages. Each release requires independent testing; a working code prototype does not mean live payment operations are enabled.
Tenant-safe accounts, program versions, domain verification and protected merchant onboarding.
Plugin handshake, partner approvals, signed tracking, verified orders, refunds and commission ledger.
Merchant portal, payment reconciliation, end-to-end testing, support and independent security review.
Start with evidence, not assumptions
Prepare your program, understand the integration requirements and move toward a verified launch.
