Commission Approval & Cash Flow
Understand how attributed sales move into commissions, billing, and payout workflow.
Use this page to understand what happens after a sale is attributed and before partner funds are paid out.
Payment integration method
| Method | Checkout ownership | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Bill Flow | Your checkout | You collect customer payment, Affitor attributes conversions and bills through its invoice workflow |
Bill Flow
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 attributed sales before the commission workflow proceeds.
Typical checks include:
- valid attribution
- no obvious duplicate sale event
- in-window attribution
- matching program/customer relationship
Approval and Hold Workflow
Programs can 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 through the commission and payout workflow based on the commission's current lifecycle stage.
