So I followed your steps and enabled debug. I setup another test with a real live Paypal account and all of a sudden it started working properly. After the second transaction the affiliate commission was successfully paid out. I even waited for the third payment from Paypal to happen and the affiliate commission was paid out. I just disabled debug logs and now I’m going to wait one more day to see if it still works.

If it does work then I have one small theory to run by you.

When I was testing previously, I was using the same Paypal account each time which was tied to a Gmail address that I have. In order to simulate a new customer in the eStore, I registered that customer as myemail+(number)@gmail.com and I incremented the number each time I did a new test.

Gmail has a really neat feature that if you add a plus and anything afterwards it’s like an alias for the root e-mail address. That way you can trick certain signup forms to give you more accounts but all e-mails go the main root e-mail address.

Maybe using this method was messing up with eStore and the Affiliate Platform plugin in some way?

This time I used a completely different e-mail address than before with a completely different Paypal account and it worked.

Let me know if you ever tried using this plus feature of gmail with these plugins?

If you haven’t and it is indeed a small bug that would be a cool one to play around with and see if you can fix.

Let me know if you still want to see the debug logs.

Hi there,

I have just tried to set this up. I am using eStore and WP Affiliate Platform together. I created a recurring subscription button using eStore for membership access to my site.

The membership is being handled by WishList Member.

I created the product properly as a subscription product.

I then clicked an affiliate link and proceeded to purchase the membership.

The affiliate did in fact get the proper commission as it was set up on the first transaction however on the renewal, the affiliate did not get the new commission.

I checked and the WP eStore Settings -> AddOn Settings -> One Time Commission for Subscription Payment option is unchecked.

Is there any where else I can look?

I want the affiliate to keep earning revenue each month upon renewal of the membership until the membership is finally cancelled.

By the way the cookie’s lifetime is set to 30 days for the affiliate and the test subscription product that I’ve setup is set for renewal every 24 hours so it’s not a case of an expired cookie.
