Affiliate Center Lifetime Commissions
Alex Ford
It would be amazing to see a lifetime commissions option for the affiliate center.
For example, if an affiliate refers a new customer, all future purchases from that customer will generate a commission for the affiliate, regardless of which product the customer buys.
That is a great feature that would make ClickFunnels users' affiliate programs more attractive, as affiliates will be able to earn more from the same customers they have referred.

Hey Alex Ford, thank you for making this request. This sounds like something our platform already has. If you click at the bottom left corner, you'll see the option to access your affiliate center and there you will see your all time stats including lifetime commissions.
If you mean something else other than this, please drop some screenshots of where you are referring to and where you would like to see this added. Thanks! Looking forward to your response.

Hi David Lamoureux (Product Support Analyst), thanks for this. However, this is not what I'm referring to. This is for lifetime commission "stats".
I took the following from another platform's help article for their lifetime commissions feature.
"Lifetime Commissions - Enabling Lifetime Commissions links a customer to an affiliate, allowing the linked affiliate to receive a commission on all future purchases by the customer. Keep this option disabled if you want affiliates to be able to earn commissions for sales on already referred customers."
So for example, let's say Bob buys a $5 product through my affiliate Johnny. Johnny gets a commission. And from now onwards, Bob will be linked (as a customer) to Johnny (as an affiliate) forever.
In the future, when Bob buys another product, let's say product B for $1000, Johnny gets a 40% commission. In 2 years, when Bob buys a different product, Johnny gets a commission.
And therefore Johnny will get a commission from any of Bob's purchases forever.
This would require for Bob's email address he purchased with to be linked to Johnny forever.
This is a common feature with platforms like FirstPromoter. It would be better to not have to use a third-party app for this.
I hope that makes sense!

Alex Ford: Thank you for clarifying. I am in conversations with our dev team about this. Nothing to update you on at the moment, other than I have brought it up and we are discussing it.
