Auto Approve Commissions

If this option is selected, all commissions will be approved automatically. You can still use the fraud detection tool on the reporting menu to find fraudulent transaction and reject them before issuing payment.

Note

Be aware that orders are "auto approved" as soon as the order is placed. Order residing in the "Pre-orders" ans "Accounts Recivables" departments will be include when performing affiliate payment processing. So, it's very important to keep up on the management of processing orders that go into the Accounts Receivables department when using this option.

 

Pay Commissions on Auto Orders

If checked the affiliate will receive commissions on all the recurring auto orders that take place for the customer.

 

Pay Commissions on Repeat Orders by Email

When checked the system will look to see if the email address used on an order has placed a previous order. If so, the same affiliate will receive credit on the new order regardless of whether the cookie is present on the customers browser.

 

Pay Commissions on Day of Month

When configured, this allows UltraCart to tell the affiliate when the next commission payment should take place.

Recommend

Allow Payment via PayPal

When checked, UltraCart allows the affiliate to specify the email for their PayPal account. The merchant can then pay the affiliate via PayPal's MassPay electronically. We recommend this option.

Note

Paying affiliates via PayPal requires that you have PayPal configured under Main Menu Configuration Payments

Recommended

Require Payment via PayPal

When selected, all affiliates will be required to specify a PayPal email address to receive their commission payments. Paying affiliates with PayPal MassPay is the easiest way to send commission payments. If you are not familiar with PayPal MassPay we recommend checking it out.

Recommended

Reverse Commissions on Refunded Orders

If checked, when a refund occurs in UltraCart the commissions paid on the order will automatically be refunded.
