Thank you for your answers.

However, I’m still unclear on some points.

– My members pay a monthly recurring fee. Do my affiliates get awarded an affiliate commission just once or every month?

– If I can’t set a time for when I want to do commission payouts (i.e. a month after the commissions has been awarded), how do I know which affiliate payments to include in my mass payment? I imagine that the mass payment option simply includes all affiliate sales made at that moment. So that includes the ones mad a month ago and also the ones that just happened 5 minutes ago.

Do I have to manually review each affiliate sale and then only include the ones that have been awarded more than 30 days ago?

thanks

Thanks for the quick answer.

Just to be clear, here is what I want to happen:

Someone signs up through an affiliate link for an s2member account to take my free course (no payments or even checkout involved). Then they are offered a free month in my paid membership program. To do so they go through Paypal checkout but don’t get charged for the first 30 days. After these 30 days they get charged for the first time. Only if they get to this stage (or maybe even if they get charged the second time) do I want my affiliate to get paid.

Questions:

– If I understood your answer correctly, the plugin will register a sale only after the referred customer actually paid for the first time (so in my case after the free course and the free month in my membership program). Or does it go by the time the customer went through checkout for the first time (even though they don’t actually pay that first time since they get a free month)?

– Is there a plugin setting for when I want to pay out my affiliates? Or do I just mention it in the Terms of Service and maybe in my sign up page copy?

– I want to pay affiliates a fixed amount per sale and I selected that option in the plugin settings. But I don’t understand where to specify the amount I want to pay (the bounty).
I only see an option to set the bounty for % of sales.

– If I select percentage of sales, does that only count for that first months’ payment? Or also for every following month as long as the referred customer stays on?

Thanks
