Prevent commission on their own purchases?

[Edward]

Is there a way to prevent buyers first register as an affiliate and then use the id to get a disguised discount?

One way to do this is to match the “Buyer’s Email Address” with the associated affiliate’s email address and discard if they match.

I personally don’t mind if they buy with their own affiliate link because I set a minimum payout limit which makes it so they have to refer a few sales before they get the commission paid out.

This makes the life of the developers heaps easier as they are probably buying the plugin again again for their clients and can get a bit of commission in the process (technically they are referring the sale).

Very smart idea!

Good idea,

Yah, this is exactly what clickbank does. You have to have at least 3 or 4 sales from different IP addresses and different credit cards to qualify for the commissions on sales.
