AffiliateWP Lifetime Commissions 1.6.4

AffiliateWP Lifetime Commissions is a WordPress plugin add-on for AffiliateWP that connects a referred customer to an affiliate partner. After the initial referral is made, the linked affiliate earns commissions on that customer’s future purchases.

This solves the common attribution gap where affiliates only get credited for the first order. With lifetime commission tracking, your program can capture repeat value, improve long-term tracking accuracy, and support sustainable affiliate revenue without requiring affiliates to reintroduce buyers.

Main Features

• Customer-to-affiliate linking — Stores a persistent connection between a referred customer and the affiliate who drove the referral.
• Lifetime commissions on future purchases — Credits the linked affiliate for commissions from subsequent orders by the same customer.
• Automatic attribution — Ensures future transactions are associated with the correct affiliate without repeated manual steps.
• Evergreen referral tracking — Helps keep commission relationships active beyond a single purchase event.
• Built for AffiliateWP — Designed to extend AffiliateWP functionality within a WordPress site workflow.
• Works across the customer lifecycle — Maintains commission eligibility across time as the customer continues purchasing.
• Program value preservation — Reduces lost affiliate commissions when customers return after the first conversion.
