Not able to select a program or affiliate on an existing order?
Check your Affiliate Program settings, and audit the program’s assigned Checkouts and Subscription Plans. Be sure the Checkout the order was created through is added to the program, and, if you’re selling a subscription, that BOTH the Checkout and Subscription Plan are assigned to the program.

Adjusting Affiliate Commission on Refunds
When refunding an order or a payment, you can choose to clawback commission. This option is turned on by default. If you do not want to clawback commission, select the Adjust Affiliate Commission toggle button and turn it off.
Note: After a commission adjustment has been made through a refund, the ‘Earned on order‘ amount shown on the order will not change. However, navigating to the affiliate’s profile will reflect the adjustment and show the correct pending amount to be paid out.
If you have questions on how to process a refund for orders or payments, read our documentation on Refunds for more details.
