Only award affiliate commission on first time

[dansmith]

Hello,

I am running a wp emember/ wp e-store site that offers affiliate program

I have products that are recurring payment/subscription products.

For affiliate part, I see there is option to only award commission per transaction, i.e. not per item and also to only award commission first payment of subscription

Is there anyway to award a commission only on the first time a user buys? i.e. any subsequent purchases/transactions or upgrades are not awarded to the affiliate?

You need to change the setting from every recurring commissions to one time commissions:

I selected the following:

One Time Commission for Subscription Payment

and

Award Fixed Commission Per Transaction

But I am asking regarding the following:

The user makes a transaction, and the affiliate is awarded comission.

A few days later the user makes another transaction – the affiliate will be awarded another commission.

Is the only way to limit this by reducing the # of days for cookies?

I’m wondering if there is a way to set it up so that once a user makes a purchase, the affiliate can never again be awarded any commissions for any further purchases the user makes.

An affiliate software tracks all referring sales and awards commissions. Nobody usually does the commission structure that you are after. So there is no option for it in the plugin.

You have kind of a specialized need. You can use the following option to see if we can develop something custom for you to handle this specialized setup:
