Payments

The article covers all tools from the Payments tab on the affilaite profile page.

This tab holds the affiliate's financial settings: unique payout and revenue settings, Payment info, the Transactions widget and No Negative Carry Over settings.

This information is used in the billing process: when a payment or an invoice is created, it adds the affiliate’s default payment method. It denotes how the affiliate would like to receive payments.

You can create and edit affiliates’ payment methods, but generally they fill in this information themselves.

This tool helps to manually add transactions of any type to the affiliate. It also keeps information about all transactions that were created automatically.
