What you get with Refgrow + WordPress Plugins
Everything you need to run a professional affiliate program on top of WordPress Plugins.
Plays nicely with WP commerce
Connect Stripe, Paddle, LemonSqueezy, or Polar — whatever powers your premium-license checkout. Refgrow attributes paid licenses without touching your WP plugin code.
Embed in wp-admin
The widget is a one-line script tag. Drop it onto your settings page or a custom admin page so license holders see referral stats inside their WordPress dashboard.
Lifetime and recurring licenses
Whether you sell annual subscriptions or one-time lifetime deals, Refgrow tracks both and supports per-product commission overrides.
Auto Stripe coupons
Generate a unique discount code per affiliate so they can promote with a code instead of a link — perfect for WP YouTubers and bloggers.
Built-in Partner Network
List your eligible program for discovery and invite partners whose audience fits your WordPress product.
Wise payouts globally
WordPress communities are international. Wise payouts cover 70+ countries, so you can pay European, Indian, and South-American developers natively.
Set up in 3 simple steps
Follow the provider connection, widget, and tracking steps for your program.
Connect your billing provider
Sign up for Refgrow and connect Stripe, Paddle, LemonSqueezy, or Polar — whichever processes your premium licenses. Webhook is auto-configured.
Embed in admin or marketing site
Add the tracking script to your plugin's settings page, your /pricing page, or both. License holders and prospects can grab their referral link from any logged-in surface.
<script src="https://scripts.refgrowcdn.com/latest.js"
data-project-id="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"></script>The widget uses the refgrow container and page.js. The separate latest.js script records referral attribution; it does not render the dashboard. Provider webhooks or API events are still required to confirm paid conversions.
Set commissions and launch
Standard pattern: 20% recurring on annual subscriptions or $30-$50 flat per lifetime license. Email existing customers their links and watch the WP community share.
Verify before you invite partners
After connecting WordPress Plugins, open a referral link in a fresh browser session and complete your test checkout. Check that the customer, sale, and commission appear in your workspace.
Attribution must reach checkout through the supported referral parameter, metadata, coupon, or email flow for your integration. Adding a tracking script alone does not connect every custom checkout.

How tracking works
Refgrow tracks WordPress plugin referrals from blog post to paid license:
Affiliate writes a blog post
Their unique referral link or coupon code is shared in WordPress tutorials, plugin roundups, or video reviews.
Visitor lands on your site
Refgrow stores the referral code in cookie + localStorage for cookie-resilient attribution.
Visitor purchases a license
Stripe/Paddle/LemonSqueezy webhook fires when the license is paid. Refgrow matches it to the referrer.
Commission calculated
Per-product overrides let you pay different rates for annual vs lifetime, or for the agency tier vs the personal tier.
Referrer gets paid
PayPal or Wise auto-payout. Self-billing PDF invoice generated for both sides.
