For anyone willing to create a modern e-commerce website, Magento is probably one of the best apps around to handle that. Not only because it is free + open source but also it is so powerful yet not-complicated.

Although the Magento core has many features, there will possibly be things that you need but Magento doesn't provide by default. That's the point which you'll be hunting for extensions.

Magestore is a web-shop that is specialized in providing high-quality Magento extensions and themes.

Magestore

There are 60+ extensions that enhance Magento's capabilities in login, checkout, shipping, marketing and others. For example:

 

  • Affiliate Plus: allows users to create an affiliate program
  • Auction: create online auctions
  • Gift vouchers: create gift cards for customers to present their friends
  • Store pick up: allows customers to select store to pick up purchased products 
  • Group Deal: create online group deals

And, there are also free ones.

Magestore not only creates them but also updates and improves these extensions regularly, makes sure they are compatible with the latest Magento release and provides support which is pretty important specially for e-commerce websites.

Affiliate Plus

Affiliate Plus by Magestore is the first and most popular affiliate extension of Magento.

It eases creating an affiliate system for any store where users will be able to refer the website (or products) and get paid for any sales.

Affiliate Plus

Using the extension, you can define the commissions, discount rates and payout requirements. Also, you can add banners in different sizes and it generates the unique tracking links itself for each user.

The extension also automates the payout by using the PayPal API and can send the affiliate payments itself.

Optionally, a Platinum version offers more versions like pay-per-lead, ability to create multiple programs, support for multiple payout methods and more.

Magestore is giving away 3 licenses of the Affiliate Plus Standard version ($99/each) to WRD readers.
