Affiliate Rewards & Commissions

Yes, inside a single reward. Set a first-period rate and a base rate, so a reward can pay 20% for the first year and 10% on every renewal after that. The first period can be defined by a number of months or by a number of payments.

A refund generates a negative commission automatically, which inherits the original’s status and reduces the unpaid payout balance so the money never leaves. Chargebacks work the same way. Braintree is the exception: refunds there are handled manually.

By default, yes. You can switch a campaign to manual approval or set an amount above which commissions are held as pending for someone to look at. There is no timer-based auto-approval, so if you want a delay before money moves, set it in your payout terms instead.

Yes. Custom rewards on one partner’s profile take precedence over the campaign’s and the campaign itself is unchanged for everyone else.

Free months, credits, points and a monetary or percentage discount. Each is set up, approved and reported like a cash commission. Granting the perk inside your product is your side of it, so the first non-cash type needs a small piece of engineering.

A confirmed billing event from your provider, not a signup and not a click. Zero-total invoices generate no commission, though the signup behind them is still tracked and attributed, so a fully discounted first month shows up as a referral without paying out.
