Key Points to Note:

• Commission Tracking: Commissions are tracked through sales processed viaStripe. However, the system does not automatically track refunds for one-time products or subscriptions.
• Subscription Cancellations: The Affiliate Manager administrator can choose to issue payments15, 30, or 60 days after the saleto allow enough time to handle potential cancellations. If a subscription is canceled, the lead is moved to thechurned categorybut can be re-activated later.
• One-Time and Recurring Commissions: Commissions can be one-time or recurring, depending on the product sold through Stripe.
• Coupons and Discounts: If a discount is applied during checkout, the commission is calculated based on thediscounted amount.

Payout Terms

Payout terms let you set a delay between when a commission is earned and when it’s paid out — ideal for businesses with refund windows. For example, if you offer 30-day refunds, you can set a NET-30 payout to ensure commissions are only paid after that period.

Supported Payout Terms:

• NET-7 – 7 days after month end
• NET-15 – 15 days after month end
• NET-30 – 30 days after month end
• NET-45 – 45 days after month end
• NET-60 – 60 days after month end
• NET-90 – 90 days after month end

You can configure payout terms in:

• Campaign > Additional Settings
• Global Settings
• Affiliates can view the payout term inside their portal.

How Are Payouts Generated?

Payouts are generated in thePendingtab on the1st of every month. Each payout shows a "Due" date, reflecting when the affiliate should be paid, based on the terms set in the campaign configuration.

This system provides flexibility by allowing payouts to be approved and paid at a later date, accommodating potential issues such as refunds.

How Do Commissions Work?

Commissions are the foundation of payouts. Affiliates earn a commission whenever a sale is made through their unique link. The percentage of commission an affiliate earns depends on the campaign they are promoting.

Understanding how commissions are tied to affiliate payouts ensures smooth payout management and transparency in affiliate marketing efforts.

With these steps, you'll be able to efficiently track, manage, and complete payouts for your affiliates while ensuring all commission terms are accurately followed.
