Build recurring affiliate programs where affiliates earn as long as customers stay, not just on signup
Recurring revenue affiliate programs where affiliates earn every month the customer pays create alignment - affiliates want to refer customers who will stay long-term. If a customer pays 12 times, the affiliate gets paid 12 times.
When to use
For subscription SaaS products where you want affiliates to care about customer success and retention, not just initial signup.
Don't do this
One-time commission affiliate programs that incentivize affiliates to maximize signups without caring about customer fit or retention.
