The PHPurchase affiliate program is now live. You earn 25% of every sale you send our way. PHPurchase is a WordPress e-commerce plugin that we developed at PHPoet. We’ve been using it on several of our own clients sites and have now decided to offer the plugin publicly.

PHPurchase stands out for several reasons. First, the approach we took to implementing the plugin was to let WordPress manage all aspects of the page layout. There are plenty of ways to implement photo galleries, embed videos, etc. already available for WordPress. PHPurchase simply adds e-commerce functionality. Second, we have placed a strong emphasis on documentation and support by providing screencast tutorials, help articles, and even live chat support embedded in the the “Help” page of the PHPurchase admin panel as well as on the PHPurchase website. Our developers, of which I am one, are also available to help troubleshoot problems, build out an entire WordPress store, or anything in between. Lastly, PHPurchase is fully compatible with the WordPress Affiliate Platform plugin if you wanted to run an affiliate program for your WordPress store. No additional configuration is needed to start running your own affiliate program.

We look forward to seeing how you use PHPurchase. Please send us links to your PHPurchase stores and we’ll tweet them and/or link to them from our website. Thanks!
