The MemberMouse affiliate integration pays your affiliates when a visitor they referred buys a MemberMouse membership. Ultimate Affiliate Pro creates the referral when the payment is recorded and keeps its status in sync with the MemberMouse purchase.
The visitor is linked to the affiliate through an affiliate referral link. The commission comes from the affiliate’s rank, applied to the amount paid.
Before you start
- MemberMouse is installed and active, with at least one membership level.
- The MemberMouse Tracking add-on is installed and active. See Pro Add-ons.
- Your affiliates have a rank with a commission rate.
What creates and updates a referral #
The add-on follows MemberMouse purchases and rebills. The order total is the base for the commission.
| MemberMouse event | Referral |
|---|---|
| A member who came through an affiliate link purchases a membership | Created as Pending |
| MemberMouse completes the purchase | Approved |
| MemberMouse charges a rebill (recurring payment) | A new referral, Approved when the charge succeeds |
You can reject a referral yourself with Mark as Rejected; rejected referrals are not paid. If you prefer to approve every referral yourself, turn on Keep Referral Status as Pending in Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Settings›Admin Workflow: automatic approval is turned off, and you approve referrals yourself.
Turn on the MemberMouse affiliate integration #
Go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Integrations and find the MemberMouse card in the Membership group.

Name the referral source #

Pay commissions on renewals #
MemberMouse rebills subscription members automatically. To pay the affiliate for every rebill, turn on the Recurring Commissions module.
- Go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Modules.
- Open Recurring Commissions and turn on Activate/Hold Recurring Commissions.
- Save the module settings.
With the module on, each renewal payment creates a new referral for the affiliate who referred the member, even after the referral cookie has expired. See Recurring commissions for subscriptions.
Review the referrals #
Go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Referrals. MemberMouse referrals show MemberMouse in the Source column.
The Source Custom Name, MemberMouse by default.
The amount the member paid, for example Order Amount: 47.00USD.
The commission: the affiliate’s rank rate applied to the amount paid. With a 20% rank, a $47 payment earns $9.40.
Each referral is linked to the member who paid. The member ID is shown in the Customer ID column (visible from Show / Hide columns).
Test it #
- Open a private browser window and visit your site through an affiliate link, for example
yourstore.com/?ref=emma.collins. - In the same window, sign up for a MemberMouse membership level with a new customer account. Use a test payment method.
- In Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Referrals, check that a referral with source MemberMouse was created for the affiliate, and that it is Approved once the payment is complete.
For a full test routine, see Test your affiliate program. The MemberMouse startup guide explains membership levels and products.
Frequently asked questions #
Do affiliates earn on MemberMouse rebills?
Yes, when the Recurring Commissions module is on. Each rebill creates a new referral for the affiliate who referred the member.
Which amount is used for the MemberMouse commission?
The order total of the purchase or rebill. A 20% rank on a $47 purchase gives a $9.40 referral.
Do I need to set an affiliate keyword in MemberMouse?
No. Ultimate Affiliate Pro tracks the visitor with its own referral link and cookie, so no affiliate settings are needed in MemberMouse.
Can I approve MemberMouse referrals manually?
Yes. Turn on Keep Referral Status as Pending in Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Settings›Admin Workflow: automatic approval is turned off, and you approve referrals yourself in the Referrals list.
A purchase did not create a referral. What should I check?
Check that the MemberMouse card is enabled in Integrations, that the member opened the affiliate link in the same browser before checkout, and that the affiliate account is active. See Referrals or clicks are not recorded.
