Solid Affiliate stores its affiliate program management with PayPal payouts records in wp_sa_affiliates, wp_sa_referrals, and wp_sa_visits for tracking. Every referral carries identifiers plus custom fields like affiliate_payment_email, referral_rate, which power the admin screens but stay invisible to the customers and stakeholders who have opinions about what Solid Affiliate should ship next.

SleekView Feedback reads the same tables you already query through WP_Query or the REST API. You pick a numeric field as the vote column, a status field, and a category tag. Every row in Solid Affiliate becomes one card sorted by votes, with upvote button, status pill, and tag visible at a glance.

Clicking upvote increments the configured vote field on the underlying Solid Affiliate row, so any automation already watching that column keeps running. Status changes write back through the same column, so the public board and the Solid Affiliate admin stay in lockstep. No mirror database, no nightly export, just one source of truth.

Solid Affiliate teams hit a wall the moment customer feedback volume passes a few dozen items per week. The default admin is built around editing one record at a time, not surfacing the top demand signals to a shared audience. Without a public board, program operators email support to ask for status updates that already exist inside the admin, and product managers guess at priority instead of reading it off a sorted list of cards.

Demand for the same bug fix gets logged five times across three support channels, votes stay invisible because there is no vote column anyone watches, and customer praise dies in a single Slack channel that nobody on the product team reads on Monday morning. A feedback board that reads and writes the same Solid Affiliate fields the team already uses fixes the loop. Customers see what is open, vote on what matters, and watch ideas move through Planned and Shipped without anyone refreshing a separate spreadsheet.
