Recurring commission
In plain English
What does Recurring commission mean?
A commission paid every billing cycle for as long as the referred customer stays subscribed, typical of SaaS programs.
Recurring programs pay 20 to 40% of each monthly payment, sometimes forever, sometimes for 12 months. A referral to a $99/month tool at 30% earns $30 a month; twenty such referrals are a salary. Check whether the recurring window is capped and whether upgrades count.
