If you are creating a membership program, or if you have a high priced product that you would like to break up into smaller payments, then you want to create a recurring product.
A recurring product is any product that has multiple payments. The way it works is that the customer purchases, and their credit card is charged. Then on the recurring cycle, that customer’s credit card is charged again at the amount you specify.
Now, as the business owner, you need to decide if you are going to pay commissions on those recurring charges. There is no one right answer, it’s all up to how you want to run your business.
But, if you do, then make sure the recurring commissions box is checked.

You also want to decide what you want your recurring commission limit to be. This is a setting to decide how many times you want to pay that affiliate that commission. If you pay unlimited, then just leave that blank.
