The Simple Woo Affiliate Tracking simply (ha!) tracks the sales driven by any URL appended with a ‘refid’.
For example:
www.yoursite.com/?refid=lj419275070985lkhj0
Any body who clicks through that URL and buys a product through your store will have that unique ‘refid’ attached to their order.
This allows you to add your own refid to any link you want to distribute. You can export the number of sales assoicated with the id at any time through “Tools”>”Simple Woo Affiliate Tracking” into a .csv file.
How it works:
The plugin detects the ‘refid’ appended to the URL and stores it in a cookie. During checkout, a ‘refid’ field is added to the checkout form (in a hidden state), and that field is set by plugin Javascript.

<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Adverships service at https://adverships.com. This connection is required for the plugin to function (affiliate tracking and reporting are performed by Adverships).
What is sent, and when:

<li>On connect: your site URL, site name, administrator email, and your WordPress and WooCommerce version numbers — sent once to register the store, using a one-time connection key you generate in your Adverships dashboard.</li>
<li>On a tracked storefront visit: the affiliate code present in the link (and the connection/campaign identifiers), plus the landing page URL — sent to record the click.</li>
<li>On a completed order: the order id and number, order total, currency, customer email, and the affiliate attribution captured at click time — sent to record the sale.</li>
<li>On a refund: the order id and the order’s new total refunded amount.</li>
<li>Periodically (when sales alerts are enabled): a small signed request asking Adverships for any new confirmed sales since the last one seen (it sends the store’s site identifier and a sale cursor; no order details are sent on this request).</li>
<li>When you open the in-admin dashboard or creators view: a signed request asking Adverships for your current analytics, creator list, pending partner requests, and subscription/trial status (it sends the store’s site identifier; no customer data is sent on these requests).</li>
