AffiliateWP
5.0MARKETING

◆ Current state

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.
