The Starting Affiliate ID add-on allows you to:
<ul>
<li>Set the ID of the first affiliate who registers for your new affiliate program, or</li>
<li>Set the ID for the next affiliate who registers for your existing affiliate program.</li>
</ul>
Setting your starting affiliate ID to a higher ID allows you to portray a more established affiliate program.
<h4>Set a custom ID for the very first affiliate who registers</h4>
Instead of 1, you could set it to 134, 753 or even 7563. In fact, you can configure any number up to 1,000,000. Whichever number you decide on, it will be given to the first user who registers as an affiliate on your website. As each new affiliate registers, their ID will increment by 1.
<h4>Set a custom ID for your next affiliate registration</h4>
Already have affiliates? You can still use this add-on to set the next affiliate ID. For example, if there are already 54 registered affiliates, you can set the next ID to 646. The next affiliate who registers will have that ID of 646.
<h4>A note before setting a custom affiliate ID</h4>
The Starting Affiliate ID must always be higher than the ID of your most recent affiliate. Make sure you’re satisfied with your custom ID before saving. Once an affiliate registers and receives that ID, it can no longer be lowered.

Affiliate Info allows you to show affiliate information based on the affiliate 
currently being tracked. When a user clicks an affiliate’s referral URL and 
arrives on your website, the affiliate’s ID is stored by AffiliateWP. 
Affiliate Info simply shows information based on the tracked affiliate.
Let’s say you have an affiliate named John who shares his referral URL. 
Any user that clicks on John’s referral link can now see a variety of information 
about John, anywhere on your website.
You can show:
<ul>
<li>John’s WordPress display name</li>
<li>John’s website URL</li>
<li>John’s email address (be careful with this!)</li>
<li>John’s gravatar image</li>
<li>John’s WordPress username</li>
<li>John’s biographical info (from his WordPress profile)</li>
<li>John’s Twitter username</li>
<li>John’s Facebook URL</li>
<li>John’s Google+ URL</li>
</ul>
There are currently 9 shortcodes to show the information above:
<ol>
<li>[affiliate_info_name]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_website]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_email]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_gravatar]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_username]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_bio]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_twitter]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_facebook]</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_googleplus]</li>
</ol>
There’s also 2 shortcodes that you can embed the above in:
<ol>
<li>[affiliate_info_referred] – show content only when an affiliate is being tracked</li>
<li>[affiliate_info_not_referred] – show content only when an affiliate is not being tracked. Useful for providing a fallback.</li>
</ol>
If you’re a developer you can access this information directly with some useful 
PHP functions.
Affiliate Info also works in tandem with AffiliateWP’s Credit Last Referrer option 
which means the information will change each time a new referral URL is used.
Some potential uses for this add-on include:
Showing the customer who referred them
Show a custom message based on the affiliate being tracked. For example, 
“You’ve been referred by John” or “Your site representative is John”.
For example:
Your site representative is [affiliate_info_name]
If no affiliate is being tracked it will just show “Your site representative is ” 
so use the [affiliate_info_referred] shortcode to make sure nothing is shown when 
no affiliate is being tracked.
For example:
[affiliate_info_referred]Your site representative is [affiliate_info_name][/affiliate_info_referred]
Allow the site visitor to contact the affiliate
There may be instances where your affiliates are in direct contact with your customers. Show the affiliate’s email address, or add a form (Gravity Forms or another form plugin) which sends an email to the affiliate being tracked.
Note, if you’re going to show any form of email address out in the wild, make sure you protect it using one of the many plugins available on the WordPress repo.
Create a landing page
Create a landing page for your products that show the current tracked affiliate’s information. This is especially useful if an affiliate does not have a website, or you want more control over how your products are advertised. Affiliates can link directly to your landing page with their referral URL, and their information will be displayed.
