Solid Affiliate vs UpPromote

Solid Affiliate is a WordPress plugin for building and managing an affiliate program for WooCommerce stores. A four-step setup wizard is provided, and the maker says coding is not needed. Store owners can create registration forms and give affiliates a portal with activity feeds, notifications, and marketing assets. Commission rules can be set by affiliate, group, product, variation, or category, with options for lifetime commissions and revenue sharing. Affiliates can use referral links, custom slugs, coupons, or personalized landing pages; cookie duration is configurable. Payouts include PayPal, manual processing, and store credits from the WordPress dashboard. Fraud controls include self-referral prevention, refund protection, commission grace periods, and optional IP logging. Listed out-of-the-box integrations are WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions. Solid Affiliate says it uses first-party cookies and does not store or process users’ personal data. It is paid, has a free trial, and charges no monthly fee. Annual plans are $149.60 a year for one site, $174.65 a year for three sites, and $224.70 a year for ten sites. It does not support multi-currency WooCommerce stores or multi-level marketing.
