Problem with Recurring Subscriptions with Paid MembershipPro

Problem charging commission

We use Paid Memberships Pro with a monthly subscription to paypal.

The Affiliate Marketing plugin charges a commission not only for the first subscription, but also for each next monthly payment, as there is a bug here and a commission is charged twice for each next month.
We want to charge a commission only the first month.

The second problem is that the plugin also charges a commission on orders that are not paid. That is, the user bought, but when paying in PayPal, he did not have money in the card and there was no real payment, and the plugin again charges a commission.

@todor,

It’s not a bug. That’s how it was designed as most users want to reward commissions on recurring payments (not just the first ones).

Our plugin only processes a commission when it receives a new purchase notification from Paid Memberships Pro. It has no direct communication with PayPal.

If you enable debug in the affiliates manager settings, it will show how each order is being processed.

I don’t know about “most users” but I will say that I for sure did not want to reward commissions on recurring payments but only on the first payment. Is there a way to set it up so that only the first payment receives a commission and not subsequent renewals?
