Common questions about Royal Affiliate Pro: tier availability, licensing, WooCommerce compatibility, GDPR, MLM depth, and payout timing.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do affiliates sign up?

Create a page with the `[rafp_registration_form]` shortcode. Affiliates fill out the form, and admins approve them from the Royal Affiliate > Affiliates screen.

### What WooCommerce integration is included?

Automatic referral tracking for all WooCommerce orders. Supports simple, variable, subscription, and downloadable products.

### Can I import affiliates from another plugin?

Currently this requires manual import. You can create affiliates via the admin panel or the REST API for bulk operations.

### Does Stripe Connect handle tax compliance?

Yes. Stripe handles all 1099 compliance including W-9 forms, identity verification, and annual filing for US affiliates earning over $600.

### What happens if I disable multi-tier commissions?

Existing tier referrals remain unchanged in the database, but no new tier referrals will be created for future sales.

### Can affiliates see each other's data?

No. Each affiliate only sees their own data in the dashboard. The leaderboard shows rankings but uses display names only.
