Payouts

Any affiliate payouts generated within AffiliateWP are logged, and shown on the screen AffiliateWP » Payouts.

On the Payouts screen, you can view detailed information about each payout. Payouts are generated when any of the following actions occur:

  1. Marking referrals as Paid with bulk actions (which will generate a payout for each affiliate individually).
  2. Marking a single referral as Paid using the Mark as Paid link in the Actions column on the AffiliateWP » Referrals screen.
  3. Generating a payout file.
  4. Generating a payout for a single affiliate.

For configuration, help, and documentation regarding paying your affiliates, please visit the Paying your Affiliates article.
