Open in Introw: Commission

How it works

Commission lines are generated automatically from your plans and surface through the commission dashboard and partner payout panels. Each line has a workflow status that the dashboard labels as potential, expected, approved, or declined, and a separate payment status once it is on a payout. You review lines in the dashboard’s metric views and on each partner’s payout panel, where you can act on them. Line actions include declining a line so it is voided and detached, postponing a line to hold it back from a payout, restoring a previously declined line, and adding a manual line for an adjustment. The same operations are available through the commission lines API.

Prerequisites

  • Write access to commissions.
  • Commission plans generating lines, with enrolled partners.

Settings & configuration

Lines are reviewed from Commission and within partner payout panels.

Understanding line status

A line’s workflow status reflects where it is: potential and expected lines are not yet approved, approved lines are attached to a payout, and declined lines are voided. Payment status tracks the money once a line is on a payout.

Reviewing lines

Open a dashboard metric, such as potential or expected commission, to see the lines behind it, or open a partner’s payout panel to review their commission items.

Declining and restoring

Decline a line to void it and detach it from a payout. Restore a declined line if it was declined in error.

Postponing

Postpone a line to free it from the current payout and hold it for later; unpostpone to make it available again.

Manual lines

Add a manual commission line on a payout for an adjustment, or edit an existing line where needed.

Review and adjust commission lines

Check calculated commission, then decline, postpone, restore, or correct lines before anyone is paid.

Limits & gotchas

Declining a line voids and detaches it, so restore it rather than recreating it if you change your mind. Postponing frees a line from its current payout, so remember to unpostpone it when it is ready. Manual lines bypass plan calculation, so use them for genuine adjustments and document why.

Troubleshooting

  • A line is not on a payout - it is potential or expected, postponed, or declined.
  • A declined line is back - it was restored, which un-voids it.
  • A manual line is not reflected - confirm it was added to the right partner’s payout.
