Description

The Recurring Referrals add-on records commissions for the affiliate with each subscription renewal payment in AffiliateWP, creating a dedicated settings tab with a recurring rate, calculation type, and referral limit per affiliate. The extension connects with WooCommerce Subscriptions, Easy Digital Downloads Recurring Payments, Restrict Content Pro, Paid Memberships Pro, MemberPress, MemberMouse, LifterLMS, Gravity Forms, WP Simple Pay, and PayPal buttons, maintaining the link between the original affiliate and each subsequent charge.

Key Features

  • Commissions on renewals: automatically records a new referral whenever the gateway processes a recurring charge for the specified subscription.
  • Dedicated settings tab: adds to AffiliateWP its own section to enable tracking and adjust the behavior of recurring commissions.
  • Independent recurring rate: lets you set a specific value and calculation type for renewals, separate from the rate applied to the initial sale.
  • Limit per affiliate: controls the maximum number of recurring referrals generated from a single specified subscription.
  • Compatibility with Tiered Rates: respects the tiers configured in the Tiered Affiliate Rates add-on as well in the recurring payments flow.

Recurring Referrals Benefits

  • Ongoing revenue: pays the affiliate for the entire lifetime of the specified subscription, aligning the program with monthly or annual billing models.
  • Partner retention: increases affiliates’ interest in promoting products with recurring revenue, since each renewal generates a new commission.
  • Automatic attribution: removes the need to manually associate subsequent charges with the original affiliate.
  • Broad coverage: works with the main subscription, membership, and course plugins for WordPress without requiring specific setup for each platform.

Who Is It For?

  • Membership sites and member areas that charge monthly or annually.
  • SaaS businesses and online course platforms with recurring plans.
  • WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads stores that sell subscriptions and keep an active affiliate program.

Ideal for affiliate program managers who rely on recurring revenue and want to commission partners fairly on every renewal processed by the gateway.
