Commission Approval & Cash Flow
Understand how attributed sales move into commissions, billing, and payout workflow.
This page traces the journey from an attributed sale through commission review, billing, and partner payout.
Payment integration method
| Method | Checkout ownership | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice billing | Your checkout | You collect customer payment, Affitor attributes conversions and bills through its invoice workflow |
Invoice billing
Step by step:
- Customer purchases through your existing checkout.
- You receive payment in your own payment stack.
- Affitor attributes and validates the conversion.
- Commission is created according to your program rules.
- Advertiser billing is handled through Affitor's invoice workflow.
- Commission moves through review / hold / payout operations.
Validation Before Commission
Affitor validates each attributed sale before the commission workflow proceeds.
Checks include:
- Valid attribution
- No duplicate sale event
- In-window attribution
- Matching program/customer relationship
Approval and Hold Workflow
Use review and hold settings to control when commissions become payable.
Common uses
- Reduce refund risk
- Review suspicious activity
- Delay payout until a commission is cleared
Public-safe cash flow summary
- Customer payment lands with the advertiser
- Affitor records the attributed revenue event
- Commission and platform obligations are calculated through the Affitor workflow
- Advertiser billing happens through the invoice process
- Partner payout continues after the commission clears the review and hold path
Refund Handling
Refunds are reconciled based on the commission's current lifecycle stage.
