AffiliateWP – Allow Own Referrals

AffiliateWP – Allow Own Referrals is a simple yet powerful WordPress add-on that enables affiliates to earn commissions on their own purchases made through referral links or affiliate coupon codes. By default, AffiliateWP blocks self-referrals to ensure commissions come from external promotions. However, this add-on changes that behavior and allows self-generated referrals when needed.

Once activated, affiliates can receive commissions when they use their own referral URL or apply their personal affiliate coupon during checkout. Therefore, businesses can run special promotions, reward loyal affiliates, or allow partners to benefit directly from their purchases.

Moreover, the add-on works automatically without requiring additional configuration. There are no settings pages or complex setup steps. As a result, administrators can enable self-referrals instantly while maintaining AffiliateWP’s accurate tracking and reporting system.

In addition, referrals generated through self-purchases appear in the standard AffiliateWP referrals dashboard. This allows site owners to monitor transactions, commissions, and affiliate activity just like any other referral.

Because the add-on integrates seamlessly with all supported AffiliateWP integrations, it works across eCommerce, membership, and payment plugins connected to your affiliate program. Overall, Allow Own Referrals provides greater flexibility in commission strategies while keeping affiliate tracking reliable and automated.
