Another affiliate program question

Does anyone know where I can find more info on how the affiliate program works once I have enabled the affiliate support option in Dolphin 6.1.6?

I would like to know such things as:

1) How does the affiliate get paid? Does the system send them their percent payment automatically, or do I have to keep track of it myself and send individual payments?

2) Does the percent an affiliate receives apply to recurring payments?

For example an affiliate refers a member who pays $15/month for a membership fee. At the default 10% commission level they would earn $1.50. Does the affiliate program give them this percent recurring monthly when the referred member makes their payment or is it a one-time commission?

3) Is there a way to change the default 10% commision level? If so, how?

4) If the abve is not taken care of by the Dolphin installed affiliate program, can anyone recommend a better way to run my affiliate program?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I would like to launch an affiliate program ASAP to help grow my community.
