Athenian Creator Manager
product details.
Athenian Creator Manager adds creator onboarding, referral attribution, asset management, commission tracking, and payout workflow support to WooCommerce. It helps teams connect creator relationships to products, traffic, sales, media, earnings, and platform settlement workflows while keeping data, permissions, and automation aligned with the broader Athenian Platform Ecosystem.
Athenian Creator Manager is a WooCommerce-native creator commerce plugin for onboarding creators, managing referral attribution, organizing creator-owned media assets, connecting creators to products and content, tracking commissions, and supporting payout workflows inside WordPress.
Instead of managing creator programs through disconnected forms, affiliate links, spreadsheets, media folders, and manual payout reviews, the plugin turns creators into first-class commerce participants. Creators can apply through a public registration flow, receive a creator record, maintain a public profile, upload image or STL assets, associate assets with products, share referral links, and review commission activity from a creator dashboard.
For administrators, Athenian Creator Manager adds a dedicated creator workspace for managing creator status, linked WordPress users, referral slugs, commission rules, product relationships, content relationships, media relationships, asset pricing, and payout review. It also includes click tracking, creator referral cookies, creator-to-product/media attribution, commission ledger rows, unpaid payout summaries, and paid/unpaid commission management.
For Athenian Platform and PrintGhost.ai-style workflows, the plugin provides the foundation for creator-led commerce, creator asset monetization, ambassador programs, product collaborations, public creator profiles, creator media galleries, shoppable creator assets, APF media picker integration, Store API cart enrichment, and order-linked commission tracking.

media, cart selections, order items, commission rows, and payout review
so creator programs can scale without being rebuilt in spreadsheets.

_acm_processedflag. - Store credited creator IDs and total commission on the WooCommerce order.
- Build toward creator storefronts, payout exports, refund reversals, advanced commission rules, and marketplace reporting.
