Frequently Asked Questions

Question: We are seeing orders from repeat customers that are not applying the "Alternate Repeat Customer Commission" commission to the orders, why is that?

Answer: The qualifiers for "repeat customer" in this context is of a repeat purchase as applied to the affiliate receiving commission for the order. so, for example, if you enable "cookie stomping", then the customer may return for a future purchase via a different affiliate link than previous purchases. In this case, the normal affiliate commission is applied.
