So I can't say much more, could you try explaning again ?

Many thanks, Ian")* Hi Nicolas, As I understand it, the current setting will give the affiliate commission on the order the coupon is used on, but it won't setup a permanent link between the customer and the affiliate, so having introduced the customer with the incentive of a coupon any future orders that customer makes won't earn the affiliate commission. We would like it so that all future orders ( if this is a new customer ) earn the affiliate who issued the coupon commission. Does that make sense?

There is no code to handle that right now but we'll add that for the next release in order to be consistent between that option and the affiliate leads either coming from the referer or a coupon code.

As long as you have the "Add partner to user account during registration" setting activated in the HikaShop configuration, and that you selected a partner in your coupon "Force affiliation to" setting, the partner will be linked to the customer account and further orders of the customer will trigger a fee for the partner of the coupon.
