Paypal has stated that they prefer adaptive payment style, where when a sale is made, then the split is made from that sale.
The alternative to that is RAP, where first sale goes to product owner, second sale goes to affiliate and then it switches back and forth. the downside is that if you make 1 sale, you get 0% (when it should be 50%). If you make 3 sales, you get 33%.
But anyway, here is a link:

No, we don't use Adaptive payment.
Hi
I should know this if I used the plugin - Im getting ready to set it up for a new member site and I want to know, how does the payment work?
I am going to set it up with one main affiliate (may set him up as owner), and use a 35% split on everything.
How do payments get treated?
The commissions for affiliates will keep accumulating until you decide to make a payment. Most people prefer to payout the commission once per month. You can chose whatever interval suits you better (you will tell your affiliates how often you make the payout so they will know what to expect).
When you are ready to pay you go to the Manage Payout menu and choose one of the available options. The plugin can create a PayPal mass payment file that you can use to make the payment. Paying multiple affiliates with PayPal mass payment option is really easy (just a few buttons clicks). This article has more information on PayPal mass payment:
