Try Asteris Affiliates.
No install. No signup.
A full WordPress + WooCommerce + Asteris Affiliates store, running entirely in your browser via WordPress Playground. All 23 features enabled. Click around, approve a test affiliate, watch a commission credit in real time.
First-time boot takes ~30–60 seconds while Playground spins up WordPress + WooCommerce + Asteris Affiliates.
The Playground blueprint installs WordPress + WooCommerce + Storefront, then fetches the latest Asteris Affiliates zip directly from this site and activates it with every feature on in dev-mode (no licence key needed inside the sandbox). First boot takes 30–60 seconds — subsequent boots are cached.
Want it on your own store instead? Grab Asteris Affiliates Free on WordPress.org (when published) or see paid pricing.
