An option is available to track user registrations as a lifetime referral, with the lifetime commission feature enabled.

With this enabled, if someone follows a referral link and registers (creates an account), they will then be linked to that affiliate, even without initially placing an order. All future orders they make will be assigned to that affiliate as a referral.

You can enable this option in the “Commission” settings tab, under the “Lifetime Commission” section.
