AffiliateWP

MARKETING
Velocity5.0

Affiliate marketing management plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce

RewardsWP now collects product reviews from inside its rewards widget.

◆Current state
RewardsWP lets customers review purchased products from the rewards widget and shows the points they will earn before they write, on every plan. Last week it added product exclusions from points and discounts. October connected AffiliateWP and RewardsWP to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and VIP Tiers arrived for RewardsWP Pro.
◆Where it's heading
RewardsWP is getting the bulk of the shipping, widening from points into reviews and controls that store owners would otherwise need separate plugins for. AffiliateWP's payout work from the summer has gone quiet since the August bank payouts.
◆Prediction
Expect RewardsWP to keep adding earning actions inside the widget; the entries give no sign of the next AffiliateWP feature.

    Collect product reviews directly from your rewards widget

    Customers can leave product reviews from the rewards widget and see the points first, on every plan. It moves RewardsWP into review collection, another job WooCommerce stores often handle with a separate plugin.

    Exclude any product from your loyalty rewards and from earning points

    Product exclusions let stores keep low-margin items out of points and reward discounts, on all plans. It is a basic control that makes the loyalty program safer to run after the October VIP Tiers launch.

    Run your rewards program from the AI assistant you already use

    RewardsWP gets the same assistant access, with questions about points and write actions such as bonus points that stay off until enabled. Arriving within two days of the affiliate version, it shows the two products moving together.

    Manage your affiliate program with your AI assistant

    Owners can query their affiliate data and have an assistant approve applications or add referrals, on every plan. It moves the plugin from automating payouts to taking routine instructions in chat.

    Motivate your customers to spend more with VIP Tiers

    VIP Tiers lets stores rank customers by spend, points or referrals, with multipliers and entry rewards for each tier. It gives RewardsWP a longer-term retention mechanic on top of points.

    Pay affiliates straight to their bank in 90+ countries

    Bank payouts extend the existing multi-method payout engine to affiliates in 90+ countries, paid in their own currency without needing a Stripe account of their own. It widens the reach of the payout arc rather than changing its shape — but removing the processor requirement on the recipient side is the most consequential widening so far.
