Introduction:

The general settings option in an affiliate plugin serves as the control centre for managing various essential configurations.

It provides a centralized platform for tailoring the affiliate program to meet specific business needs and objectives efficiently.

Cookie Duration

The cookie duration in the WPRelay plugin dictates how long the affiliate link's associated cookie remains active in the user's browser.

For instance, if a customer clicks on your shared affiliate link, the cookie initiates and tracks the link's status for potential orders for a period of 90 days.

Here's how it works: If a customer clicks your affiliate link and adds items to the cart but doesn't complete the purchase, the cookie continues to monitor the link's status. If an order is placed, the cookie clears from the browser. However, if no order is made within the 90-day period, the cookie persists, continuously checking the link's status until it automatically expires after the default 90-day duration.

Here is the settings page where you can find the Cookie Duration option:

Please note that by default, the cookie duration is set to 90 days. However, you have the flexibility to adjust the expiration of the affiliate tracking cookie according to your preferences.

Commission Settings

Commission Settings allow you to control how charges associated with shipping and taxes are factored into the calculation of commissions.

Here are the options in the commission settings:

Exclude Shipping: This feature ensures that shipping costs are not factored into commission calculations.

Exclude Taxes: This option ensures that tax costs are not considered when calculating commissions.
