Hi,
The upcoming version 3.60 will some enhancements for affiliate support. Already done:
1. Better payout reporting for affiliate supports. Allow a store owner to filter affiliates only with some orders placed (during specified period)
2. Now a store owner can specify a friendly name which will be used to generate affiliate URL. It's more friendly for marketing purposes. You can leave it empty to use the old way (affiliate identifier)
3. Allow a store owner to de-affiliate (clear its AffiliateId) the customer from the backend
4. Allow a store owner to search affiliates by first and last name
5. Display affiliate full name on the customer and order details pages (admin area)
Still on roadmap:
1. Better payout reporting for affiliate supports. Allow a store owner to search orders on the "orders" tab of the affiliate details page
2. Better payout reporting for affiliate supports. Add reporting (total, etc) to the "orders" tab of the affiliate details page. Please vote
here3. Other enhancements (e.g. specify payout percent, etc)
