Affiliate for WooCommerce helps add and manage affiliates and track performance from a single place – commissions, sales, payout, leaderboard, etc. Earn money without hard work. Increase your brand outreach, and get potential customers.
There are situations where you might need to change the commission statuses:
- Change the commission status to “Rejected” if you don’t want to pay commission for that specific order.
- Change the commission status to “Unpaid” to allow a commission for a payout that has a “Rejected/Draft” status.
- Change the commission status to “Paid” when the commission amount is 0.
