AffiliateWP Recurring Referrals

Affiliate programs often credit an affiliate for the first purchase and stop there, even when the referred customer keeps paying for a subscription. AffiliateWP Recurring Referrals tracks commissions for those later payments, too. This gives site owners a way to reward affiliates over the course of a customer’s subscription, rather than limiting commissions to sign-up.

The add-on works with supported subscription, ecommerce, and membership tools, including WooCommerce Subscriptions, MemberPress, LifterLMS, and PayPal Buttons. You can choose recurring commission rates and rate types, use each affiliate’s assigned rate, and limit how many recurring commissions are paid. These settings help you shape the program around your billing model and payout rules.

Features

• Track renewal referrals: Record affiliate referrals for ongoing subscription payments, so commissions can apply after the customer's initial purchase.
• Choose commission rates: Set recurring referral rates and rate types, or use the rate and percentage assigned to each affiliate.
• Limit recurring payments: Set a cap on the number of recurring commissions affiliates can earn from a referred subscription.
• Connect supported platforms: Track recurring referrals with tools such as WooCommerce Subscriptions, Easy Digital Downloads, Restrict Content Pro, and Gravity Forms.
• Use tiered affiliate rates: Work with AffiliateWP's Tiered Affiliate Rates add-on to apply multi-level commissions to recurring payments.
• Enable recurring referrals: Turn on recurring referral tracking from the AffiliateWP settings, then configure its commission options for your program.
