WP Affiliate Platform allows you to easily setup and launch your very own WordPress affiliate program plugin with just a few clicks. It has all the standard features that most affiliate management tools have today. It’s built to be integrated with any shopping cart solution one of which includes Instinct’s WP-eCommerce plugin (the most popular and widely used shopping cart plugin for WordPress). Even more importantly it can be integrated with Wishlist Member which is the WordPress membership plugin I’m using to build my membership website.

I gave the WP Affiliate Platform a run by testing out the demo and I gotta say it’s a pretty solid plugin, and will be my choice for managing my affiliates not to mention it’s only $35 bucks which is big difference from iDevAffiliate which puts you back $299.00 for a single site license and without any addons.

Depending on what your looking for to mange your affiliate program, this may not be the best choice for you but if your using WordPress and don’t want to be bothered with installations and customizing a solution to work with WordPress then this should be a no brainier.
