Readme
This plugin allows you to integrate an affiliate system into your MedusaJS project. The plugin enables the creation and management of affiliate customers, allowing them to earn commissions based on order subtotals. It also includes PayPal integration for monthly payouts.
Features
- Affiliate as Customer: Admin can mark a customer as an affiliate directly from the admin panel.
- Commission Rate Management: Admin can set and update the commission rate for each affiliate customer.
- Affiliate Activation/Deactivation: Admin can toggle the activeness of an affiliate customer.
- Affiliate Commission Generation: Affiliates earn commissions once an order's payment status is set to 'captured.'
- Commission Calculation: Commissions are based on the order's subtotal. For example, if an order includes two items priced at $10 and $20, the subtotal will be $30.
- Payout Management: Affiliates must provide a payment email to receive payouts. Payouts are released monthly via PayPal.
