Special Affiliate Payouts
The Commissions Admin allows you to give affiliates a special payout for referrals made to a specified offer. To access the Commissions Admin, go to the Commissions Admin and click the "Commissions" tab at the top of the page. Here, you will find direct links to "Edit Commission Details," "View Offers in this Commission," "Edit Default Payouts," and "Setup Payout Changes."
To set up a special payout, click the "Setup Payout Changes" icon next to the commission you would like to add special payouts for. On the "Payout Change" page, click the tab on the left side of the screen to "Add Payout Change" and you will find options to specify an affiliate to affect, as well as landing page(s), offer(s), and country (or countries). Select what you would like to affect with your new payout change, then click Save Payout Change. You can add multiple payout changes for different affiliates if you so choose.
Configuring a New Payout Change
You can also choose to change the type of your Payout Change. You can choose to disable the payout, make it a temporary change, switch to a tiered payout, or make a recurring change. For more information on creating a temporary payout change, please see the Temporary Payouts section below.
On the next page, you can enter your desired payout changes. For more information on setting up payouts, see the Configuring Payout Settings of our Offerit Adding Commissions article.
Note: Make sure to note your payment changes. This way if you believe an affiliate is being paid disproportionately, you will be able to check your notes to see if you have set up a special payout.
Temporary Payouts
If you would like to set up a Temporary Payout Change for a commission, go to the Commissions Admin, click the Commissions tab, and click the "Setup Payout Changes" icon. On the next page, select "Temporary Change" from the Change Type drop-down menu. Once you have done this, you can configure the rest of the current page however you wish. Set the affiliate, landing page(s), option(s), offer(s), biller(s), and country(s) you would like to include in this change, and click Save Payout Change.
On the next page, you will be able to define when you want this temporary change to begin and end. Input when you want your change to start in the "Start Time" box, and when you want it to end in the "End Time" box. When you have defined that, you can fill in the details of your payout change and click Save. Offerit allows you to make multiple temporary payout changes, so if you would like to create another temporary payout change, just follow the above steps again.
Configuring Your Temporary Payout Change
Tiered Payouts
To add a Tiered Payout change, go to Commissions Admin and click the "Edit Payout Changes" icon next to the commission you want change. On the next page, choose "Tiered Payout" from the Change Type drop-down menu. Set any other limitations you want, then click Save Payout Change. On the next page, configure your desired default payout changes and click Save.
This will then bring up a separate set of payout changes, where you will be able to add another tier of payouts. This way, you will be able to give affiliates higher or lower payouts based on how many customers are referred by those affiliates.
To configure this, use the "Start on Sale" box to determine when you want the default payout to change for affiliates. For example, you can set it to change payout amounts after they refer 100 customers by inputting "100" in the "Start on Sale" box and configuring the rest of the corresponding payout amounts.
You can also set a time period for your tiers to reset back to the default by using the drop-down menu under "Reset". The "Raise" drop-down menu determines when the affiliate's pay raise will go into effect after they hit the amount of sales you previously specified; you will be able to choose between "Next Day," "Next Period," "Next Sale," and "Entire Period." When you are done configuring your new Payout Tier, click Add to add your new payment change. You can add as many new Payout Tiers as you like by repeating the steps detailed above.
Editing Payout Changes
Editing a payout change will not immediately affect an affiliate's payout for the commission to which you are applying the change. Offerit will simply set the original payout change to end, while creating a new payout change with the edited details in its place. For every edit that has been made to a payout, a new payout change will be created in its place with updated details. This allows Offerit to keep an accurate historical track of payout change records.
Precedence
You can control the precedence of your payout changes applied to an affiliate through the Commissions Admin. To change the order of your payout changes, click the Commissions tab and click the "Edit Existing Payout Changes" icon next to the payout change you would like to edit.
On the next page, you can use the Up and Down arrows to change the order of your payout changes. The payout change with the highest precedence (first in the list of your changes) will always be the payout change that is applied to your affiliate's payout-- this allows you to offer special payouts to certain affiliates by giving a special payout change higher precedence than the standard payout change(s).
