Surecart integration

The Surecart adapter brings Asteris Affiliates’ tracking + payouts to Surecart stores. Surecart is a hosted checkout (cart lives on their servers); the adapter listens for Surecart webhooks and credits commissions accordingly.

Activate the adapter

Affiliates → Settings → Integrations → Surecart → Enable.

Requires the Surecart plugin installed and connected to your Surecart workspace.

Webhook setup

The adapter auto-registers two Surecart webhooks:

order.created → tentative commission
order.paid → confirmed commission
order.refunded → revoke commission

Verify in Surecart dashboard → Webhooks — you should see entries pointing to https://yoursite.com/wp-json/asteris-aff/v1/surecart/webhook.

Tracking method

Because Surecart’s checkout is hosted, the adapter passes the referral cookie via a URL parameter on the Surecart checkout link:

https://shop.yoursite.com/checkout?asteris_aff=sarah

Affiliate referral links generated in the portal include this parameter automatically when the destination is a Surecart product.

Per-product rates

Surecart products show an Asteris Affiliates section in the Surecart product editor (requires the Surecart plugin → WP admin integration). Override rates and tier-2 settings the same way as WooCommerce.

Recurring billing

Surecart subscriptions trigger the recurring commission flow same as WC Subscriptions. Configure per-product.

Tax + currency

Asteris reads the Surecart-reported subtotal in the order currency. No conversion. If you have multi-currency stores, ensure your payout currency matches expectation.

Compatibility

Surecart 2024.0+ — full support
Surecart 2023.x — webhook payload differs; not officially supported, may work

Limitations

Bundle products handled per-line-item (no MAX-of strategy in Surecart adapter v1)
Order-bump products credit the same affiliate as the parent order
