Commissions
How Fuul calculates what an affiliate earns on a sale.
A commission is what one sale pays one affiliate. Fuul calculates it when it processes the sale, rounds it to the cent and keeps it.
How the amount is set
- The rate. The rate of the affiliate's highest-ranked group with a rate in your reward, or the default rate.
- The amount. The sale's total multiplied by the rate, or the reward's fixed amount.
Each commission keeps the rate and group it used, so later edits never change it.
The sale is judged when it's processed
The affiliate's status, their groups and your reward at that moment decide what the sale earns. Fuul doesn't look at their state when the sale occurred.
Once Fuul has processed a sale, it never processes it again.
When a sale earns nothing
Each sale records its result. If it earns nothing, the reason is the first of these that applies:
| Reason | What happened |
|---|---|
| No reward | Your program has no sale reward |
| Not a participant | The affiliate isn't in the groups your program is closed to |
| Removed or banned | The affiliate was removed or banned. Their customers stay bound to them |
| Duration ended | The sale is outside the reward's duration |
| Not the first sale | A first-sale-only reward already paid for this customer |
| Commission of $0 | A 0% rate, or an amount that rounds to nothing |
A sale from a customer who isn't bound to anyone has no affiliate, so it earns no commission.
Paused affiliates
A paused affiliate's commission is calculated but suspended. It counts in no total, and resuming the affiliate doesn't release it. The sale still counts in the affiliate's revenue and conversions.
Commission statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Earned and not paid yet |
| Suspended | Earned while the affiliate was paused. Never paid |
Seeing a commission
Open an affiliate and go to the Payouts tab. Each row is one commission. Open it to see the sale, the rate applied and how the commission was reached.
Refunds
Fuul doesn't reverse commissions for now. A refunded sale's commission stays pending and counts in Pending payout. Check for refunds before you pay your affiliates.
