AffiliateWP Recurring Referrals

Most affiliate programs pay once, when a customer first signs up. That works for one-time purchases, but it leaves a gap for sites that bill people every month or year. This add-on closes that gap by recording a referral for each ongoing subscription payment, so affiliates keep earning after the first sale and you keep a reason for them to promote you.

You turn it on with a single checkbox in your AffiliateWP settings, then choose how commissions behave. You can set your own recurring rates and rate types, or fall back on each affiliate's assigned rate. A cap on recurring commissions lets you control payouts. It fits membership sites, subscription boxes and any service that bills customers on a schedule.

Features

• Recurring commission tracking: Every ongoing subscription payment from a referred customer is recorded as a referral, so affiliates are rewarded across the whole customer lifecycle instead of only at signup.
• Custom recurring rates: Set a recurring referral rate and rate type of your own, or default to the rate and percentage already assigned to each affiliate for precise control over commissions.
• Limits on recurring payments: Cap how many recurring commissions an affiliate can earn per referral. This gives you control over payouts and helps you manage long-term costs of the program.
• Single checkbox setup: Recurring referral tracking is switched on with one checkbox in your AffiliateWP dashboard, and the remaining options are configured in the same settings screen.
• Works with many platforms: Compatible with WooCommerce (with Subscriptions), Easy Digital Downloads, Restrict Content Pro, MemberPress, MemberMouse, LifterLMS, Gravity Forms, WP Simple Pay with Stripe, and PayPal Buttons.
• Tiered Affiliate Rates support: Pairs with the AffiliateWP Tiered Affiliate Rates add-on, so multi-level commissions can apply to recurring payments as well as first purchases.
• Fair referral crediting: Referrals are tracked accurately so affiliates are credited correctly and promptly on each renewal, which helps reduce disputes within your affiliate program.
