Lifetime commission

Lifetime commission allows affiliates to be linked to customers they originally referred and receive commissions on all of these customers' subsequent orders (regardless of affiliate assets usage).

1. How to enable Lifetime commission

To set up a Lifetime commission for your program, you must first go to Program > Edit > Lifetime commission.

Once Lifetime commission is enabled, all existing links between affiliates and customers in the Conversions > Customers tab will become lifetime links. In this example, affiliate Lilly Howe brought customer James to your store. Since you set up Lifetime commission, all subsequent orders from James regardless of the affiliate links he uses will be credited to Lilly.

2. Lifetime duration

Next, you can also decide on Lifetime duration - if it's valid forever, or for a limited time only.

In this example, Lifetime commission is limited to 60 days, which means the links between affiliates and their customers will expire after 60 days. These customers will have to use affiliate links/coupons in order for affiliates to be credited for commissions again.

3. Lifetime commission amount

The Lifetime commission amount is the commission amount given to affiliates for subsequent orders. By default, it is the default commission. You can apply another commission amount by using Advanced commission.

Go to Program > Edit > Find Advance commission section > Add rule

4. Manually link/unlink an affiliate with a customer

You can link an affiliate with a customer to create a Lifetime commission link between them even before the customer places the first order. To do so, you must first go to the Conversions tab > Customers and then click this Link customer button.

Now select the affiliate and search for/add the customer you want to link. Finally, click Save.

To manually unlink the affiliate and the customer, simply click this Delete button.

FAQ

Q: How is Lifetime commission different from Cookie?

A: Lifetime commission has an override ability while Cookie doesn't.

Example

During a Lifetime commission duration, no affiliate link/coupon usage can replace it at all. If customer A is linked to affiliate B with an in-effect Lifetime commission, no matter if A places an order using affiliate C's link, or affiliate D's coupon - all orders will still be credited to B. This only stops once the Lifetime commission expires. While during a Cookie duration, any affiliate link/coupon usage can replace it even though the Cookie is still active. If customer A uses affiliate B's link first but then places an order using affiliate C's link, or affiliate D's coupon - these orders will be credited to C and D respectively.
