How to show order details to affiliates in WordPress
The short answer
AffiliateWP does not normally show customer and order fields beside referrals. You need custom development or an order-details add-on that supports WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads, with controls for affiliate access, visible fields and email alerts.
What you need
- AffiliateWP installed and configured
- WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads for a supported integration
- Administrator access to WordPress
- A privacy policy and a decision about which customer fields affiliates may see

Questions
- Can WordPress show affiliate order details without a plugin?
- Not as a finished affiliate-dashboard feature. You can build it with custom PHP, but the code must connect each referral to its order, restrict the output to the owning affiliate and handle privacy, refunds and missing orders. For most sites, an AffiliateWP-compatible add-on is safer and faster than maintaining that custom integration.
- Which order details can affiliates see?
- Depending on the shop integration and your settings, affiliates can see the order number, date, total, referral amount and customer name or email. WooCommerce can also provide the customer phone, shipping address and billing address. Disable any field that is not needed for the affiliate’s work.
- Can I show details only to selected affiliates?
- Yes. Enable global access for everyone, or edit individual affiliates and grant order-details access one at a time. The per-affiliate option is useful when customer information is needed by a small group rather than your whole programme.
- Why are some referrals missing from the order-details table?
- The feature is tied to supported shop integrations and normally displays referrals with Paid or Unpaid status. Check that the referral was created correctly, that the order still exists, that the integration is active and that the referral status is not rejected, pending or otherwise excluded.
- Can affiliates receive the order details by email?
- Yes, the order-details add-on can email the affiliate the order information when the referral is created. Test mail delivery and review the fields before enabling it, because customer names, email addresses and addresses may be included.
