What your AI can do with AffiliateWP
One connection gives your assistant structured, permission-checked access to the whole site.
Monthly program report
This month against last: referrals, earnings, conversion rate, your top affiliates and the campaigns that convert, from AffiliateWP's own totals.
Affiliate applications
Every pending application with the website and answers each person gave, a suggestion against your rules, and approvals only on your word.
Missed sales
Check the order, rule out a double credit, work out the commission from the affiliate's rate and add it as unpaid.
Payday check
Every unpaid commission by affiliate, checked against its WooCommerce order, with refunded and too-recent ones flagged before you pay.
Commission rates
Rank affiliates by what they sold and raise the rate for the ones you pick, with group rates checked first and a warning where product rates stop applying.
Writes stay off until you say
AI can read your program as soon as AffiliateWP is active. Changes wait until you switch on MCP write access in AffiliateWP.
Things to ask
Paste any of these into Claude or ChatGPT once AffiliateWP is connected.
“How did my affiliate program do this month compared with last month?”
“Show me the pending affiliate applications with their websites, and suggest which travel creators to approve.”
“Maya says order 2864 came from her link but she got nothing. Check it and show me what she would be owed.”
“Before I pay affiliates, list what I owe each one and flag anything refunded.”

Every AffiliateWP ability
AffiliateWP registers these with the WordPress Abilities API under the affiliatewp namespace. Your AI finds them with discover_abilities and calls them with run_ability. WPVibe asks for your approval only when an ability is marked destructive and deletes something or runs code; everything else runs as soon as your AI calls it. Verified means we ran it on a live install of v2.37.1. Registered means a fresh install of v2.37.1 ships it and we have not run it yet.
Requires AffiliateWP 2.37 or newer (tested on 2.37.1) on WordPress 6.9 or newer, with an administrator account. AI can read your program right away; changes need Enable MCP Write Access on under Affiliates > Tools > AI MCP.

What we learned testing it
Behavior the ability descriptions do not mention.
- AI changes are off until a site admin switches on Enable MCP Write Access under Affiliates > Tools > AI MCP. Until then every change is refused with "Sorry, you are not allowed to execute this ability." Reads work as soon as AffiliateWP is active.
- Approving or rejecting an affiliate sends AffiliateWP's accepted or rejected email, and adding an unpaid referral emails the affiliate and the admin, whenever those emails are on in AffiliateWP's settings.
- A referral added by hand is not linked to its WooCommerce order. When a tracked order is fully refunded, AffiliateWP rejects its unpaid commission on its own (if Reject Unpaid Referrals on Refund is on, the default); a hand-added one stays unpaid until you reject it (tested). Partial refunds change no commission.
- An affiliate group with its own rate replaces the affiliate's personal rate. Moving a 30% affiliate into a 25% group dropped them to 25% in testing.
- An affiliate's referral count and earnings in AffiliateWP are paid referrals only; what is owed is in unpaid earnings.
- A referral's amount can't change once it is part of a payout. Pay affiliates through Affiliates > Payouts rather than marking referrals paid one by one, so the payout is recorded.
- Campaign figures are lifetime totals. For a date range, the AI filters visits or referrals by campaign instead.
- The website and answers from an affiliate's application are not in the affiliate abilities; the application recipe reads them from the user record and AffiliateWP's affiliate meta.
Verified, and kept that way
Works with AI is WPVibe’s verification program. Every ability marked verified was run on a live AffiliateWP install, and we rescan WordPress.org weekly so a release that adds or removes abilities shows up here before it surprises you.
