Offer different trial lengths for different products or tiers. Run a 7-day trial on your entry plan and a 28-day trial on your premium plan. Trials can be paid (R1 card authorisation) or completely free, and ReCurr handles the card tokenisation at PayFast so the first real charge goes through without customer intervention.

Reward customers who commit for longer with automatic percentage or fixed-amount discounts on quarterly and annual billing cycles. Set it once per product — the math happens automatically at checkout, and the discount shows clearly to the customer.

Set flexible commission rules that match your business model. Choose flat-fee or percentage commissions, one-time or recurring, site-wide or per-product. Create different programs for different products or categories without rebuilding the system.

When a customer checks out, ReCurr Pro injects split instructions into the PayFast request before the customer sees the payment page. PayFast processes the payment and automatically routes the affiliate’s commission directly to their PayFast merchant account — and the rest to yours — in real time. You never hold the affiliate’s money, which means no manual payouts and no regulatory concerns.

Yes. For split payments to work, affiliates need to be registered with PayFast (either as a merchant or with a verified bank account setup). This is a one-time setup they handle themselves, and the ReCurr Pro affiliate dashboard walks them through the process.

Yes. ReCurr Pro supports CSV import for contacts, and existing WooCommerce customers are synced automatically the moment you activate the plugin. Tags can be assigned in bulk during import.

Absolutely. Every feature is modular. If you only want recurring billing and CRM, you can ignore the affiliate section entirely. If you only want billing and affiliates, you can skip the CRM. You get the full plugin either way — use what you need.

Yes. Because all card data is handled by PayFast (who are PCI DSS Level 1 compliant), you operate under SAQ A — the simplest self-assessment level for merchants who fully outsource payment processing. Your server never sees, stores, or touches card numbers.

Your data stays intact. You keep everything — subscriptions, contacts, referrals, commissions — you just lose access to the CRM and affiliate features until you reactivate. Existing subscriptions continue to bill normally through the core billing engine.

Yes. While ReCurr Pro is built for subscriptions, the affiliate and CRM features work with any WooCommerce product — one-time purchases included. Commissions can be configured for either or both.

If your commission program pays recurring commissions, an affiliate who referred a customer on a monthly subscription earns commission on every renewal, for as long as the customer stays subscribed. The first payment is split at checkout. Renewal commissions for split affiliates are recorded automatically and paid out through your payouts dashboard until the renewal split has been confirmed with PayFast; after that, renewal splits can be switched on so each renewal charge carries its own split.

No. The referral programme is single-level by design: an affiliate earns only on the sales they refer themselves. There is no multi-level or pyramid structure — nobody earns on anyone else’s sales, and affiliates cannot build a network beneath them.

Pro licences include priority email support with guaranteed response within 6-8 hours on business days. Our support team has deep knowledge of both ReCurr and PayFast, so issues get resolved fast.

Not yet.  This has been drafted for the next major release.
