Recurring Referrals by AffiliateWP

Recurring Referrals

Recurring Referrals is an add-on for AffiliateWP, a popular affiliate marketing plugin for WordPress. This add-on enables the tracking of ongoing referrals for subscription payments and membership plugins. It allows you to record affiliate commissions anytime a subscription payment is made on a membership that was referred by an affiliate. Instead of just awarding a commission on the initial sign-up, you can award them for every payment the members make over the lifetime of their subscription.

After installing and activating the Recurring Referrals add-on, you will have a new Recurring Referrals tab added to the AffiliateWP settings screen. To enable recurring referral tracking for supported platforms, simply check the “Enable Recurring Referrals” box and set a Recurring Rate and a Recurring Rate Type if desired. Once enabled, referrals will be automatically recorded anytime a renewal payment is made for a subscription that was referred by an active affiliate.

You can also optionally set the recurring rate and recurring rate type, which is the rate and rate type used to calculate the amount an affiliate earns on subscription renewal payments. Additionally, you can limit the number of recurring referrals created for recurring, subscription, or membership payments.

Recurring Referrals currently supports the following integrations:

1. WooCommerce Subscriptions
