About AffiliateWP
AffiliateWP keeps widening who it can actually pay, not just how
AffiliateWP has spent the past year rebuilding the money-movement half of the plugin, and the newest release goes after the last constraint on the recipient side: bank payouts now reach affiliates in 90+ countries, in their own currency, with no Stripe account needed on the affiliate's end. That sits on top of scheduled recurring payouts, multi-currency Stripe with automatic 1099s, and validated batch runs that pay each affiliate by whichever method they are set up with. A parallel RewardsWP line — points, birthday rewards, free-product rewards — applies the same automation logic to customer loyalty.
