Hello,
I am using WishList Member as my membership software and plan to use PayPal for monthly recurring subscriptions. I have also recently installed WP Affiliate (without the Estore plugin).
I’d like to pay affiliates a commission only on the 1st payment and not the recurring monthly payments.
Is it possible to do this with a WishList Member/Paypal configuration?
Thank you!
May 7, 2014 at 1:15 am #62726adminKeymasterIf you don’t want to give commission on the recurring payment then undo the current integration and do “Option 1” explained in the following page:
May 7, 2014 at 3:02 am #62727scribetimeMemberThank you for your reply. I read the page that you referenced after seeing it posted in another forum thread. But I guess where I am a little confused is with the recurring payment portion.
On this page it says “This integration is best suited for one time payments (“add to cart” and “buy now” type transactions)”.
Under Option 2 it says:
Option 2) Integrating PayPal Button Using PayPal’s IPN Feature (More suited for developers)
This option is best suited for advanced users as it involves customizing and using some HTML code.
This integration works for all types of transactions (one time payments and subscription/recurring payments).
So I just want to confirm that Option 1 will allow me to charge one payment amount upfront (for which a commission will be earned by the affiliate) and then charge another amount on a recurring monthly basis (for which no commission will be earned)?
May 7, 2014 at 7:49 am #62728adminKeymasterYes, it will work for what you are trying to do.
Everybody wants to do recurring commission which is why we say the following for Option A:
This integration is best suited for one time payments
May 7, 2014 at 1:29 pm #62729scribetimeMemberOkay. Thank you. I now see where I was confused. When it says, “one time payments”, I assumed that meant one time payments for the customer purchasing a product for which there are no recurring payments.
I now understand that this is referring to one time payments to the affiliate.
June 23, 2014 at 6:09 pm #62730dncpnMemberHi Support,
I’m using option 1 as suggested on this page http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/wishlist-members-plugin-and-wp-affiliate-plugin-integration-723
I have added the below code in the Paypal button code but the sales are not tracking in WP Affiliate
<input type=”hidden” name=”custom” value=“[wp_aff_custom_args]”/>
Can you please advise?
June 23, 2014 at 11:12 pm #62731adminKeymasterPlease post a link to the page where you have this PayPal button so I can check a few things.
June 24, 2014 at 8:13 pm #62732dncpnMemberHere is the link its the first Paypal button

June 25, 2014 at 12:03 am #62733adminKeymasterokay it looks like you have one extra double quote in that input field.
Edit that page in “Text” mode so you can see everything in there. Then edit that custom field line and overwrite it with the following:
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="[wp_aff_custom_args]" />
Let me know when you have done it so I can check your landing page again to makes sure the value is generated correctly.
June 25, 2014 at 2:12 am #62734dncpnMemberThank you for the response please check now.
June 25, 2014 at 3:03 am #62735adminKeymasterLooks good to me. It should now work fine.
June 25, 2014 at 5:25 am #62736dncpnMemberThank You very much I just did a test purchase and the sales was tracked
