Payout Details

When you click Continue from the Add Payout screen, the payout described there is marked as paid, and the affiliate's accounts are reset to a balance of zero. The payout will be shown in the Payouts list, under Affiliate Configuration / Payouts.

Send Checks

On the Payout Details screen you will see each of the affiliates included in this payout, along with the amounts of the commissions due to them. To display the information you need, such as their addresses, select the fields under Display, and click Update.

Print a Payout Report

To see a detailed, printable listing of the affiliates included in this payout, click the Printable icon (printer) on the right side of the screen. The report will be displayed in the main work area of the administration interface. Use the Print feature in your browser to print it.

You can return at any time and print the report again. To do so, from the Affiliate Configuration screen, go to the Payout tab. Click the Edit button for the payout you want, and print the report from that screen just as you would do here.

Mark Payout as Processed

After you have written and mailed the checks, click the Payout tab, select Processed, and click Update. This is for your own reference, to show that you have sent out the checks for this payout. When you see this payout listed later, it will be marked with a check mark in the Processed column.

Marking a payout as processed cannot be undone.

Mark Payout as Void

If you need to mark a payout as void, select Void, enter a reason, and click Update.

Selecting or clearing the Void check box has no effect on the balance in affiliate accounts. That is, the paid-out amount is not restored to their accounts as being due. Balances that were marked as paid in this payout do not become due again if the payout is voided.

If you need to put the paid-out amounts back into affiliates' accounts, do so by entering an adjustment.
