How to update commission status as Paid/Unpaid/Rejected

Affiliate for WooCommerce helps add and manage affiliates and track performance from a single place – commissions, sales, payout, leaderboard, etc. Earn money without hard work. Increase your brand outreach, and get potential customers.

There are situations where you might need to change the commission statuses:

  1. Change the commission status to “Rejected” if you don’t want to pay commission for that specific order.
  2. Change the commission status to “Unpaid” to allow a commission for a payout that has a “Rejected/Draft” status.
  3. Change the commission status to “Paid” when the commission amount is 0.

Steps to update commission status as Paid/Unpaid/Rejected

  1. Go to WordPress Admin > WooCommerce > Affiliates > Dashboard.

  3. Select the appropriate status (Mark as Paid/Mark as Unpaid/Mark as Rejected) from the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the Referrals table.
  4. Click on the “Update” button next to the dropdown to change the status.

Note: You can change the commission status of an order any time using the above steps (i.e. Paid to Unpaid or Rejected to Paid, etc).
