guestsrl Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Can somebody explain me how affiliation system works? Actually I have a customers that referred me a new user. That new user have bought a service. My customer was been commissioned with the right %. In the admin area, I can see, in Affiliate Referrals: id, signup date, name, product, commission, last paid. The commission is right. What does "last paid" means? What does "last 10 commissions" means? how can I ensure that this customer will be paid correctly when it will get the payout amount? Should I press "Manual Payout" every time? I don't know how to use affiliation correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexxterra Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Ignore the name affiliate, and pretend they are a sales rep, an employee that gets you sales. The % per sale you set, then when the "rep" brings you a client his id is recorded and the system credits him with the percent that was agreed on. You set the payout or his "paycheque" to $xxx so you are not writing a cheque every day and for 2$ here and there. You also determine the length of time that goes by before he gets the credit for the sale, this stops people from signing up 10 people, getting their commision and then having everyone get refunds! Last paid, last commission or "paycheque" he got. last 10 commissions, the last 10 percents added to his paycheque. Most of this stuff is for accounting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
