Lifetime commission vs Recurring commission
What are the differences between the Lifetime and Recurring commission?
Goal
Reward affiliates for all future purchases from referred customers.
Reward affiliates for subscription renewals or repeated charges.
How it works
The customer is permanently linked to the affiliate — no link is needed for future orders.
Commissions apply to recurring payments from the same subscription only.
Best for
One-time products, long-term loyalty programs.
Subscription products, SaaS, memberships.
Example
John buys again months later → Affiliate still earns commission.
Mary renews her monthly box → Affiliate earns again for that renewal.
When to use which
Use Lifetime Commission to encourage affiliates to bring loyal, long-term customers who repurchase over time.
Use Recurring Order Tracking to motivate affiliates promoting subscription-based products or membership services, where renewals happen automatically.
