Managing and processing affiliate commission payments is straightforward. Keeping your payment records up to date ensures commission totals remain accurate and helps you track how much is still owed to each affiliate—preventing any discrepancies. Follow the steps below to handle affiliate payments efficiently.

1. Affiliates Check Their Commission Balance

  • Affiliates can log in to their affiliate area and view their available balance by navigating to the Commissions tab.

  • They must send you an invoice for the amount they wish to receive based on their earned commissions.

2. Verify Requested Amount

  • Cross-check the requested amount against the affiliate’s available balance:

    • Access the affiliate’s user profile via the Affiliation area (Affiliates tab).

    • Review their commission total to verify the amount.

Note: The displayed balance already accounts for invalid commissions and any guarantee periods set in your affiliate campaign settings.

3. Perform Payment

  • Transfer the approved amount directly to the affiliate’s bank account.

Important: Learnybox does not process commission payments on your behalf—you are solely responsible for transferring the funds.

4. Update Payment Record

  • After the payment is completed:

    • Navigate to the affiliate’s user profile (Affiliation profile page)

    • Click Pay affiliate

    • Enter the amount paid to create a payment record

  • This will automatically update the affiliate’s available balance.

    • The affiliate balance displays the amount currently owed to the affiliate (i.e., the difference between the commission total and the amount already paid).

    • Affiliate balance adjustment example:
      If an affiliate has a total of €250 in commissions and you create a payment record of €200, the system will automatically update their affiliate balance to €50.
