To generate a new payment record for your affiliates, you can go to the Commissions tab> Commissions Payments and from the bulk actions generate a payment record by choosing either Pay manually or Pay via bank/wire transfer.
Once the payment is created, you will see on this page all the payment records created with the on hold status so the payment can be processed and completed.
Once the payment record is created, you can issue the payment to the affiliate offline and change the payment status to Completed: all linked commissions will automatically get the Paid status.
Pay Manually
If the option ‘‘Create a payment manually’‘ has been selected when creating the payment, that means you will pay the affiliate using any offline method you prefer, for example in cash or with a non-supported gateway.
Once the payment is done, you can manually change the payment status to “Completed” from the payment actions in the payments list.
Pay via bank/wire transfer
Payments via Bank transfer are currently very similar to manual payments, but if you enable them, your users will be able to enter their payment details (Account name, IBAN and Swift code) that you can find it from the user profile.
The payment, however, occurs manually, so you will have to create a bank transfer from your bank, the plugin will not do that on your behalf.
To enable this gateway, go to General options > Commissions & Payments > Payment gateways and make sure the gateway is enabled.
This option is enabled by default when you first activate the plugin.
If you select Pay with bank transfer from the payment actions, you will be able to see the payment details in the the Payment method column.
Once the payment has been processed remember to change the commission status to completed.
Filters
From this screen you can also filter the payments by status, affiliate and date.
You can bulk edit them and choose any of the following actions:
- Change status to “Completed”
- Change status to “On hold”
- Change status to “Cancelled”
- Delete
