Hello,

recurring commissions in POST Affiliate Pro are run separately fom 2Checkout or any other payment processing system.
If you set recurring commissions in product category, then when some purchase is made in this category, the recurring transaction is generated together with normal commission.
You can see it in Recurring transactions in your merchant control panel.
You can also see the recurring period and date of next commission generation.

Script recurring.php should be put to cron (in Unix) or Scheduler (in Windows) to be executed daily.
This script will check all approved records in recurring transactions, and if there is match with date when the recurring commission should be generated, it will generate the corresponding commission.
You will see this generated commission in your normal transactions.

If you want to stop recurring transaction from periodically generating commissions, you should decline or delete it.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

I know the documentation is not really complete about this, but this month we'll release totally new and much better documentation and help system.

with regards,

mark

My question is are there checks and balances in place to know when to stop paying the re-occuring commision if the person they refered is no longer paying their monthly membership fee. If their referal is no longer a customer then they are no longer entitled to a residual income.

Has this been thought through. I can't find anything as of this date in docs that explain in details how the reoccuring commissions feature is set up to work.

Thank you. This is an awsome script and I hope to get it soon. I need to residual commissions to stop though when their referal stops paying.

If there was some sort of way to collect the name email account number from the purchaser and have it associated with the affiliate might be an easy way to manually check each month if their customer is still a paying customer. if so we can pay the affiliate.

Maybe during the cron thing you menationed we can have a list generated by affiliate with all the data on each client by name and email collected after purchase that we can cross reference with our payment processing details.

Hello,

there is a script to automatically cancel recurring commission payments, it is called cancelRecurring.php. It identifies the transaction by OrderID - when you pass parameter OrderID (ID of order of original purchase) to this script, it will cancel recurring commission based on this order.
example of call:
cancelRecurring.pgp?OrderID=youraccountnumber

I think when registering sale you should pass order id to sale registration script.
The order Id can be any value you like, it should identify the purchase and should enable you to find this sale later.

Then you can automatically trigger cancelRecurring.php script when customer cancels membership, or cancel recurring transaction manually by looking at its order id.
