    Ok I'm confused. My understanding is that Affliates can Be set to Get Paid Recurring commisisons Using Paypal or other supporting gateways.

    I'm using paypal.

    Under "features" on Amember home page it says...
    Built-in 1-tier affiliate program with recurring commissions support

    However under control panel/affiliates there are several conflicting statements


    Pay only first commission
    affiliate will get commision only for first purchase.
    In case of recurring payments, only one (first) commission will
    be generated. "yes/no"

    Then under same page further down...
    Affiliates Signup Type
    affiliate will get commision only for first purchase.
    In case of recurring payments, only one (first) commission will
    be generated.

    You can select from drop down menu "all new members become affiliates" or set how you want to activate affiliates


    This is all conflicting information. So which is it?

    Does Amember have the ability to track and pay affiliates recurring transactions each month?

    Would appreciate if anyone is using recurring affiliate payments and how you set it up.

    Thank you
    Frank

    Ok Alex got back to me on this and all is well...


    Here is what Alex Responded with to my initial query:

    "Hi,
    Recurring commissions are supported.
    There is just an error in second field description, you can just disregard this."

    So Yes Affiliates can get recurring commisisons. In fact I've tested this over the last week setting recurring at different periods and payouts such as 2 days and works great and tracks commisions perfectly for affiliates.
