Snap Affiliates v2.0 for v1.5.0 and later

Sounds good thanks.

One more option this module could use:

Allow admin to select any of the active payment modules or an in-store credit (coupons) in the affiliate settings instead of just check/moneyorder or paypal (already an optional setting)

That's going to be a major stretch (the auto-payment) and will probably not be fulfilled. There is, however, a commercial extension to this plugin that allows you to pay via gift certificate.

Hi lat9,

I am wondering what happens when a cookie expires? For instance, I want to set it up so the cookie is a one-time use, which seems to be possible with this module. After the sale, the cookie expires.

In this circumstance, what happens if the user click through the affiliate link again? Will a fresh cookie be generated that they can earn commission on again? Or does it not allow for another cookie to be generated once the original one-time cookie expires?

Looking for some clarity... thank you!

Yes, on an additional click-thru on an affiliate's link a new cookie will be generated and they can earn commission again.

It's not my top priority, but I am working on it! Which variant of zc157 is in use on your site (zc157, zc157a or zc157b)?

Hi lat9, any progress on this? As a reminder, version is ZC157b, and my affiliates also can't see their total commissions owed any more, so they have to ask me. It's getting to be a real problem, and I know you're crazy busy...but help would sure be appreciated.

None currently. I'll put SNAP on my to-do list for next weekend.

Wish List for this module:


Deleted customer/order record as the commission paid should be displayed as commission history for accounting purposes.


Conditions exist that when you delete an order or customer -the data remains in the database- but it is unavailable for view.


This information should also be included in any other accounting reports and made available to the CASL legal record (if Twitch CASL or similar has been installed)


Also, if the summary could be sorted by date added - to ensure the newest affiliate sign up displays first.

I've opened a GitHub issue (https://github.com/lat9/snap_affiliates/issues/43) to cover the deleted customers/orders. Note that this won't be addressed in the next release as it requires a fair amount of rework for the data-gathering.

There's no "date added" for an affiliate's sign-up, so there's no means of providing that requested sort.
