Who gets the credit if there are more than one referring affiliate?

[Sonic]

Hi,

Just want to ask on how the affiliate platform works when at least two people (affiliates) referred to my website? Here’s a basic scenario:

I have two affiliates, let’s call them Person A and Person B.

I have one landing page (where the eStore Buy Now button is). My eStore is integrated to my WP Affiliate.

On week 1, Person A referred a prospect (let’s call him Prospect Z) to the landing page. So I assume by this time there is now a cookie in place at Prospect Z’s browser (with reference to Person A).

Now on week 2, Prospect Z clicked on a link of Person B.

In this case, will the cookie of Person A be overwritten by Person B?

If the person purchased on Week 3, who gets the sales credit? Will it be the first affiliate (Person A) or the last affiliate (Person ?

This is assuming both cookie life is not yet expired.

Please let me know. Thanks.
