Lifetime Affiliates

The first affiliate who has acquired a customer should permanently receive the provision for each order

If this option is enabled, a customer's provision/commission will be permanently linked to the respective affiliate after a referred order. For example, if a customer orders something after arriving at the online store via an affiliate link, the referring affiliate will also receive a commission for all further orders placed by that customer. Please note that permanent affiliates are only recognized after this option has been activated. Permanent affiliates can also be manually set, changed, or removed for each customer in the shop's administration area.
