This article explains how to add a manual commission payment for a partner. You can use this feature when you want to reward a partner for an ad-hoc additional promotion, paid placements or to reconcile untracked transactions. You can upload manual commissions individually or in bulk, depending on the volume you need to process.
Note
Alternatively, you can use Bonus Manager to create and manage rules that automatically assign monthly bonus payments to partners that meet certain requirements.
Adding a manual commission
To access the tool, go to Commission > Add > Add manual commission.
You can upload manual commissions in two ways:
As a single entry.
As a batch CSV file.
Single bonus upload
If you only need to add one payment, you can upload it individually.
Follow these steps:
Select Single under Upload method.
Choose the Commission type.
Add the Publisher ID for the partner you want to reward.
Enter the Amount of sale.
Use 0 for paid placements or onsite exposure.
Add the sale amount if the bonus relates to untracked transactions.
Enter the Amount of commission you want to pay.
This value should exclude VAT, which is added automatically during invoicing.
Add an Order reference if you want to provide an identifier for reporting.
Add the Click ref (IO number) if the partner has supplied an insertion order.
Batch CSV upload
If you need to pay several bonuses at once, we recommend uploading them in bulk.
Follow these steps:
Select Batch (CSV) under Upload method.
Download the template by clicking CSV example in the file formatting instructions.
Prepare your CSV file following the template format.
Click Browse to upload your file to the platform.
Important
Before submitting a manual commission, make sure all fields are correct. These entries can’t be reversed once added.
Once submitted, the bonus will appear in your Transactions report and will be included in the next invoicing run.
