Pro installs alongside the free plugin rather than replacing it. Both stay active, and the free plugin remains the thing that runs your programme.
Installing it
- Download the Pro ZIP from your purchase email.
- Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then activate.
- Enter your licence key when prompted.
What changes immediately
The Pro features appear in the screens they belong to rather than in a separate area: extra payout rails in the payout batch, scoring on the referral list, matrix options in the commission rules. Nothing you configured is migrated or reset, because nothing moved.
What does not change
Your existing affiliates, referrals, balances and payout history are untouched. Attribution keeps working exactly as before — Pro adds to the free tracking rather than substituting its own.
If the licence lapses
The Pro features stop, and the programme carries on. Referrals still track, commissions still calculate, and the free payout rails still settle — you lose the Pro rails and the Pro extras, not the ability to pay people. Balances owed remain owed and remain visible. A lapsed licence should cost you features, not records.
