@positivelyrandy Many thanks for your review, I’ve just seen it and this comment here. Regarding how to pay your affiliates, I’ll try to explain briefly:
There is a menu item Affiliates > Totals which shows accumulated totals per affiliate. You have several filters on that screen, including:
– Referral Status : filters the results shown, Accepted referrals means commissions granted and yet to be paid, Pending means commissions calculated but not granted, Closed means commissions paid and Rejected means commissions calculated but rejected (due to order refunds etc). If you want to view what you have to pay your affiliates, the choice here would be “Accepted”.
– Currency is obvious
– From and Until : this allows you to set the period for which you want to get the totals, for example use the first and last day of a month to get the monthly totals
There’s a button on top labeled “Close Referrals” – the normal process to pay your affiliates is to view referrals with status “Accepted” for a given period (e.g. last month with the From and Until dates set in the Filters section), make the payments through PayPal, Payoneer, Bank Transfer, Cheque etc based on the totals obtained, and then click the button. That will lead you to a screen asking for confirmation and after proceeding, all referrals covered by the period and with the status will be marked as closed.
The whole process reflects the procedure of reviewing pending commission payments, getting the totals and marking the related referrals as paid.
