Biggest opportunity: Add “program”, “affiliate plugin” and “suite” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #7 and #15 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 18.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,296 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I have completed installing, configuring and testing the FluentAffiliate plugin and now its live on my website. During the process, i am very impress with the plugin so far. Now that it’s live on my website, lets see how it handles multiple transactions. Apart from the plugin, i have to say, their customer support is one of the best i have come across so far. They are on top of things, and eager to help you with any issues while setting up the plugin. They deserve 5 stars!

Congrats Fluent team The best affiliate plugin by far, we have tested many before Keep up the good work !

Great support and good pricing! It’s just missing some features like referral exports and native lead collection for Fluent Forms without payment. This is a “new “young” plugin with a lot of potential. Keep it up! 🙂 This topic was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by victoroun12.

I’ve been using FluentAffiliate for managing affiliate programs on WordPress for a short while, and it has been a real time saver. Setting up an affiliate program used to feel complicated, but with FluentAffiliate, it was quick and easy. The setup wizard gets you going in just a few minutes, no headaches. The dashboard is simple and easy to understand. I can see clicks, referrals, commissions, and payouts all in one place without having to dig around. It makes managing my affiliates a breeze. FluentAffiliate works really well with other popular WordPress tools like WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, SureCart, and other Fluent plugins like FluentForms and FluentCRM. The integration with FluentCRM lets me send marketing emails and keep track of my affiliates without switching between tools. What I really like is their support community. The WPManageNinja team runs their support on their own FluentCommunity platform. It’s not just a ticket system; it’s a friendly and active place where users and developers chat, share ideas, and help each other out. Here are the key links if you want to check it out: FluentAffiliate product: fluentaffiliate.com Manage licenses and download pro versions: wpmanageninja.com Support community: community.wpmanageninja.com In my experience, FluentAffiliate makes running an affiliate program easy and stress-free. If you want a straightforward tool that just works, with a helpful community behind it, I definitely recommend giving this a try.

I manage multiple clients websites in non-paypal countries. The only reason why I couldn’t adopt this plugin yet is because it forced PAYPAL PAYOUR EMAILYou should consider option like TEXT AREA to provide payment info rather than forcing email (paypal)It’s light and would have been perfect replacement across board.

I’m using FluentAffiliate with FluentForms on my site and it works great. The support team was very responsive and even provided video explanations, which gave me full confidence in the plugin.
