Trackdesk's payouts are flexible. You can pay everyone at once, set a tier hierarchy, or vary payouts by conversion type.
Tier settings
You can pay all affiliates the same commission, or set tiered commissions for different groups of affiliates. Tiers are managed under Settings → Affiliates → Tiers.
To add more tiers, click Add a new tier.
If you want to use a single commission rate for all affiliates, use the default Standard tier and remove any other tiers using the trash bin icon.
Conversion types
Inside an offer, the Revenue & payouts section lets you choose which conversion types apply to the offer. You can use all of your configured conversion types or just a subset.
Additional conversion types can be created under Settings → Tracking → Conversion types.
Each conversion type has the following parameters:
Conversion type: choose the conversion type you want to use.
Revenue: Fixed, Percentage, or No revenue.
Payout: Fixed, Percentage, or No payout.
Recurrence type: Once, Limited (a specific number of times per click), or Unlimited.
On-hold: Apply (delays conversion finalization or payout for a specified time, useful when refunds are likely) or No on-hold.
Percentage payout requires a revenue base to calculate from, so it cannot be combined with Fixed revenue or No revenue.
Revenue & payouts
After saving the tier and conversion types, you can proceed to the Revenue & payouts section. You can add as many groups as you want, add another currency to the offer by clicking Add currency, or add a payout specific to an individual affiliate.
For more information about currencies, see Currency & Multi-currency.
Revenue: the revenue value for the conversion. This is typically the order amount or the commission paid to your program by the advertiser. The revenue value is used to calculate the affiliate payout when payout is set to Percentage.
Payouts: what the affiliates receive when a conversion is created. After assigning payouts, they're pre-filled based on each tier's commission rate. You can edit these default values or keep them as they are.
When you're done configuring, click Save to apply your changes.
