Hello!

Thank you for the extension and the support! I need some help with the following questions please:

- Is there any option to allow recurring commissions for recurring payments? Also, can the follow-up payments have a different affiliate commission? (e.g. 20% for the first subscription payment plus 10% for all subsequent subscription payments for as long as the lead remains active and pays). I am NOT using the invoice system.

- How can i set affiliate IDs (links) to start from a custom number like e.g. 1000 instead of by editing the database like it is done here for akeeba ticket system: https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/akeebatickets/23531-starting-ticket-number-higher-than-1.html . Can i edit some similar database tables?

- How can i restrict affiliates to one account per user? I am only selling 2-3 subscriptions, i am not sure what the need would be for multiple accounts/links per affiliate (should i allow more than one for any reason? If not, how to restrict?)

Thank you for your clarifications and help, much appreciated!
George

    hello,

    1. which system are you using for the recurring payments?

    2. this field is taken from the database, so in this case you will need to change the DB field.. (we are preparing a new version that will improve this)

    3. restricting would require a little bit of coding, it cannot be done just with parameter configuration...

    Hello,

    1) OS Membership Pro. I have the integration plugin enabled. Please check original question for more details.

    2) Cool, how soon do you think you might release this feature? E.g. within a couple of weeks maybe?

    3) Ok understood. Normally i don't mind paying for such custom developments, but this is something that clearly should be expected as part of the core functionality. I cannot imagine any valid reason for allowing multiple affiliate accounts per user on a site which has e.g. only 1 subscription plan. I would expect to see the opposite, i.e. having a setting which would enable an admin to allow multiple affiliate accounts IF needed on his site. In any case, please consider adding this core functionality as on simpler sites this is currently not only unneeded but can be very confusing as well.

    Looking forward to your reply,
    George

    Hi George,

    1. Renewal is already taken into account by Affiliate Tracker... but it's in the same percentage that the original percentage. this can't be changed at the moment, it would require some custom coding work.

    2. well, we have released a new version JUST NOW. it does not allow you to define the ID but you can define a custom URL (using a "referral word") for each account. More info here: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/affiliate-tracker/referral-word

    3. we will work to include some kind of account restriction for next versions. thanks! (just a comment.. I understand the current configuration may be unneeded for you, but it's very useful to other users! :)
