Affiliate ID – A unique ID which is automatically assigned to each affiliate when they register themselves, or when they are manually added by a site admin. It is a means of identifying an affiliate. The affiliate ID appears in the affiliate’s referral URL when they are promoting your products or websites so they can be tracked when visitors come to your website.

Plugin – A piece of software that adds a specific function or additional features and capabilities to an existing piece of software.

Product – A physical or digital item that is bought from a physical store or an online store.
Purchase – The acquisition of a product or service by paying for it.

Sale – When a product or service is exchanged for payment, and the transaction between the seller and the buyer is completed.

It also allows you to receive automatic updates to AffiliateWP from within the WordPress admin, and gives you access to our support team for any queries you might have. Each site license level has slightly different allowances, such as number of sites AffiliateWP can be used on, and whether or not pro add-ons are included. Our Personal, Plus, and Professional site licenses are annual and automatically renew after a year so you continue to receive ongoing support and updates. See more on our licenses here:  AffiliateWP pricing and FAQs.
Site owner – The owner of the business or website. The site owner is often also the only site admin or one of the site admins, giving them access and control to every part of the website.

Subscriber role – Users with this WordPress user role can log in to your WordPress site and update their user profiles and change their passwords. They cannot write posts, view comments, or alter any settings on your website. When users register themselves to become an affiliate on your website, they are automatically registered as a WordPress user as well. They are assigned the subscriber role by default, giving them only the most basic access to your website.
Membership platform – A plugin that allows you to charge members for access to your website, or content on your website.
Member – A visitor who comes to your site and signs up or pays to receive access to content or products on your website.
MLM (Multi-level Marketing) – A system that allows tiered affiliates or sub-affiliates to be recruited under one primary or “parent” affiliate.

Template file – In generic terms, a WordPress template file is a pre-made layout which control how your website looks on the front end. Template files also allow you to override the default layout so it can be customized to your liking. AffiliateWP provides several template files which allow site admins or developers to modify the default layouts that AffiliateWP outputs on the front end. See our doc on how to modify template files here:  How to modify template files.
Terms & conditions/Terms of use – An agreement or set of rules which users must abide by in order to use a product or service. We recommend setting up a terms of use for your affiliate program so users are fully informed about how your program works, and what guidelines they must follow to be involved as an affiliate. It protects both you and them so they know what they are entitled to, and so you can ensure your affiliates are promoting your products or website correctly.
Theme – A collection of files that change the look and functionality of your website. A WordPress theme provides all of the front end styling of your WordPress website, changing the way your site looks without modifying the underlying code. Most WordPress themes provide the overall design for a site, colors, and sometimes font styling.
WordPress admin/WordPress dashboard – The back end of a WordPress website where users can log in and make changes based on their user role permissions. For example, a site administrator can control everything on a WordPress website from within the WordPress admin/dashboard – from posts, pages, media, and comments, to settings, themes, plugins, plugin settings and other users.
WordPress user account – An account that is created when a user signs up to a WordPress website. WordPress requires all WordPress users to create an account – therefore affiliates must have a WordPress user account on your website before an affiliate account can be created. When users register themselves as an affiliate, a WordPress user account is automatically created for them. New affiliates are automatically given the WordPress Subscriber user role. Affiliates can log in to their WordPress user account on your website to change their password and basic contact information (they cannot make any changes to your website).
WordPress user role – WordPress has a built-in user management system which allows you to determine what each user can and cannot do on your website. Out of the box, there are five default user roles: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor and Subscriber. You can read more on the various user roles and their capabilities on WordPress.org:

A new visit will not be recorded unless the stored affwp_ref_visit_ID cookie expires, or the visitor clears their browser cookies. These visits are visible to the site admin in AppsMasterBuilder.Com ’s settings, and to the affiliate when they are logged in to the Affiliate Area.

Visitor – An individual who lands on your website for the purpose of viewing content they are interested in, or potentially purchasing a product or service.
