How do I pay an affiliate?

You will have recorded a payment to an affiliate.

Before you start

You need the payouts write permission. Pay the money yourself first; this records it.

Steps

1. Open the Payouts tab.
2. Choose the affiliate and tick their approved conversions.
3. Press Create payout.
4. When you have sent the money, press Paid on the payout row (optionally Processing first).

What you will see

The payout shows Paid with a date, its conversions become Paid, and Accounting posts the entry.

If something goes wrong

• Paid asks nothing and cannot be undone; the reference is always "manual-admin".
• A payout cannot be cancelled or deleted.
• Only approved conversions not already in a payout appear as choices.
• Two people creating payouts at the same moment could pick the same conversions.
