  2. Select an Affiliate Program (only the affiliate programs linked with this checkout will display)
  3. Choose the Affiliate you would like to add to the order
  4. Click Review Changes, showing the commission that will be credited to the selected affiliate once you save

troubleshooting

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.
Learn more about Affiliate Program Setup.

Changing an Affiliate and/or Affiliate Program on an order

You can retroactively change the Affiliate and/or Affiliate Program associated with an order. 

  • Changing the Affiliate – all unpaid commissions earned for an order will be moved to the new affiliate and removed from the previous affiliate
  • Changing the Affiliate Program – all unpaid earned commissions will stay credited to the existing affiliate but show under the new program 

Note: Any PAID commission will NOT be recalculated. PAID commissions will never transfer.

  3. Click the (…) on the Order details page

If you have questions on how to make commission adjustments to specific Affiliate Programs read our documentation on Affiliate Program Setup for more details.

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.
