Trackdesk is intuitive for payouts to affiliates. Payouts are structured to give you the ability to customize them according to your preferences. You can pay everyone at once, by a tier hierarchy, or based on the achievement of specific conversion types.

Tier settings

You can choose if you want to pay affiliates the same amount or based on a tiered hierarchy.

If you would like to add more tiers, click on "Add a new tier."

To use the first variant, use the default "Standard" tier and delete all other tiers using the trash bin icon.

Conversion type settings

In 'Revenue & payouts', you can set your conversion types. You can choose whether you want to use all the created conversion types or just a few of them for an offer.

In Settings, you can add more Conversion types.

Conversion types have the following parameters: conversion type, number type, and value type.

  • Conversion type - This field is for the conversion type you wish to use.

  • Value type - A value type is for setting a fixed value for payouts (fixed), percentage payouts (percentage), or fixed values without entering a revenue (revenue unknown), or a mix of percentage revenue and a fixed payout (mixed). If you choose a percentage, the value must be prepared in our conversion script. This way, we can calculate the actual affiliate payout. Otherwise, the values are saved in the offer for the payouts for the affiliates. Add your desired conversion types, then click the "Add conversion type."

  • Recurrence limit - This means the conversion type is acceptable a specified amount of times - once, a specified number of times (limited), or unlimited times.

Groups

After saving the tier and conversion types, you can proceed to "Revenue & payouts." You can add as many groups as you like. You can also add another currency to the offer by clicking on "Add currency" or add payout to a specific affiliate.

It is possible to use multiple currencies from the paid plans.

Starter plan allows one currency, two currencies on the Business plan, and unlimited currencies for Enterprise plans.

Revenue - You can fill in the following values in the revenue & payouts section: a fixed number, percentage value, or revenue unknown). Revenue is for example the amount of the order or the commission provided to your affiliate program by an advertiser. These values are then used to calculate an affiliate payout in case of percentage payout.

Payouts - Payouts are what the affiliates will receive when a conversion is created. After assigning payouts, they are predefined depending on a tier's set of commission rates. Feel free to edit these default values or keep them as they are.

When you are done, make sure to click the "Save" button.
