 * I am using the plugin to give a fixed commision to the people only if people 
   purchase from their link. But its giving commision to the last affiliate even
   if someone buys a product directly from the website. This is an error i want 
   to give commision to affiliates only if people purchase product from their link
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-in-generating-commision%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hey [@tayybagrewal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tayybagrewal/),
 * Thank you for reaching out! Based on your description, I believe the plugin is
   working as it was intended to.
 * When you use an affiliate’s referral link to visit your website, the plugin will
   save a cookie for X days in the user’s browser. You can learn more about the 
   cookie duration here: [https://slicewp.com/docs/cookie-duration/](https://slicewp.com/docs/cookie-duration/)
 * If this user makes a purchase within these X days, a commission will be rewarded
   to the referring affiliate.
 * However, if you firstly visit the site directly, then no cookie is present, which
   means no commission is generated. If you’ve revisited the site directly, after
   you’ve visited it via a referral link, then the tracking cookie was set, which
   leads to a commission.
 * This is what I believe happened in your case. That you’ve revisited your website
   while the tracking cookie was still active.
 * To test out a non-referred purchase, please open a new browser incognito/private
   window and access your website directly, then make a purchase.
 * Thank you and best wishes,
 * Mihai
