Recurring commissions

Recurring commissions allow you to reward your affiliates for recurring payments, for example for hosting or membership. With Post Affiliate Pro and Recurring commissions feature the recurring commissions for affiliates can be generated automatically on given period (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) until you stop them.

If you are going to use PayPal buttons for memberships, you do not need to enable recurring commissions in PAP because PayPal will do all for you. You only need to properly integrate PayPal button.

To enable recurring commissions you have to activate Cron job first. To do it use instructions here - Tools> Integration> Cron job integration. Then activate feature in Features> Recurring commissions.

Application will ask you to restart it. Recurring commissions can be defined in campaigns.

Now the new link appeared in left menu under Transactions. Whenever the new transactions will be made, the commissions are recorded in Commissions and also the recurring commission is saved in Transactions> Recurring commissions. This entry is just for information. It is not real commission - the real one is generated based on this recurring.

As you can see, each transaction has its unique ID. This ID is used when creating real commission each time period. E.g. first transaction in above screenshot will be created in one month again with the same ID.

It is also possible to define multitier commissions for recurring commissions.

When you want to stop recurring commissions you only have to delete recurring commission in Recurring commissions.
