Affiliate commissions need to be paid during the first five business days for the previous month i.e. July commissions will be paid in September.
Create a NEW Affiliate Commissions to be paid out spreadsheet. Sample below:
TESLA THEMES: Log into https://teslathemes.com/amember/admin
Select Affiliates > Review/Pay Commissions
Click on the Export icon under Actions on the first line. This will be the most current list of affiliates that need to be paid.
Click Download CSV File. Open the file, reformat and put information into the new Affiliate Commissions to be paid out spreadsheet.
Do not make any payments until all affiliate commissions have been approved for both products, and a spreadsheet is created and sent to Erick at erick@reactr.io. It sometimes can take several days for the balance in PayPal to cover the payments. (Remember to always leave a $500 balance in PayPal at all times.)
SHOWTHEMES: Log into https://www.showthemes.com/wp-admin
Scroll down to WP Affiliates > Manage Payouts
Under Option C: Affiliate Mass Payout by Date Range, put in the dates of the previous month (minus 1) i.e. for May 2020 the dates would be March 2020:
Start Date: 2020-03-01 End Date: 2020-03-31 (note that the calendar does not display properly for the End Date, so you will need to input this manually).
Then select Step 2: Generate Report
The following information will appear at the top:
Select Step 3: Create Payment Report File
The following will appear at the top: CSV file with outstanding affiliate commission details created. Download the Affiliate Payout Report File (Right click and choose "Save Link As"). You can use this file to manually send money to your affiliates using bank transfer or bank cheque.
Click on the Affiliate Payout Report File to download.
When you open the download, the spreadsheet will be similar to this:
Reformat (remove unnecessary info) and add information to the Affiliate Commissions to be paid out spreadsheet.
Once the information from both products has been added to the new spreadsheet, send an email to erick@reactr.io. In the email, let Erick know that you will let him know when all affiliates will be paid out, so that he can send his monthly email to affiliates should he wish. NEED TO REPLACE THE EMAIL BELOW (screenshot) when I do the next commission approvals.
