Affiliate commissions question

So it's been awhile since jumping around the forums on the web and was wondering @hitmeasap (sorry for the tag but I knew you'd know whats up) if they changes the commission payouts on affiliates that purchase services from you.

I remember Seocheckout offering a higher percentage for services you sell to your own affiliates. Guess they were noticing too much of a loss or.....?

Also, outside of that, as an X4 I'm supposed to make an extra 1% on all sales and all affiliate sales. I'm not seeing that either. Maybe something to forward to support?

Hey @ericplotz1,

I haven't heard about any changes regarding affiliate commissions at all. However, I'm not 100% sure of this, but the way I understand things, the extra % on sales for being a X4-5 member isn't visible for you and automatically added to your balance after the clearing period..

That being said, I personally think that the extra % should be visible for those of us who's eligible, as we have no control at all over those % if what I stated above is the truth.

Sorry for not being able to give you accurate answers for this. I'll send a ticket to the support regarding this and update the thread when I get proper answers, as I might be wrong.

I think this is not only about extra % of level X even total amount is not visible when you affiliate purchase your own services.
They are showing only regular amount(After deducting 20%).

Hey @ericplotz1,
I've just got an answer from the support.

Here's what they said:

I apologize for the delay in updating you, I missed this assignment.

If a user is your affiliate and purchases from you, you get 100% of that sale.

If you're level 4, you get 1% extra.

If you're level 5, you get 2% extra.

The extra 1 / 2 % is indicated on the balance page next to the order in red text. The actual price still shows the 80% based value but still indicated as getting the extra %.

@hitmeasap Lol. Did I miss something or did their response make sense to you???? About the only thing that made sense is the affiliate buying a service from me and me making 100% of the sale. I see they add a red 100% next to those sales. But what is 100% of the sale. Is it really 100%???? Seocheckout takes no cut?

What doesn't make even more sense is the affiliate and the 1-2% with the 80 percent said here:

The extra 1 / 2 % is indicated on the balance page next to the order in red text. The actual price still shows the 80% based value but still indicated as getting the extra %.

The percentage is 10%. You earn an extra 1-2% on affiliate purchases making it in total 11-12%.

Either way where does it show up???? Support said:

The extra 1 / 2 % is indicated on the balance page next to the order in red text

The affiliate balance page indicates nothing like that. The only thing in red are incomplete orders.

This is the affiliate "balance page"

Hey @ericplotz1,
Truth to be told.. I didn't actually get that much out of their answer either..

About the 100%:

If you refer a user using your affiliate link and they purchase your own service(s), you will earn 100% of the funds minus fees. Fees are between 5-10% and cover the inbound and outbound payment charge issued by our payment processors. The affiliate cannot be linked to you in any way, including IP address.

To earn 100%, the order must be $10 or more and the buyer cannot be linked to the seller in any way.

That basically means you'll get 90-95% of the funds.
So, I guess we've managed to bring some clarity into that at least.

And regarding the 1-2%, at least I know that these doesn't add up. If you're a level X5, like I am. It's still 2%, as it would have been if I where a Level 5 user, but you're correct. I can't see these extra % indicated anywhere either.

( I'll Re-open the ticket and ask for a better explanation

)

@ericplotz1 I've been discussing things with support and I'll update this thread as soon as I get a proper answer to this. Their statement is still that the extra % should be indicated on the balance page, but since we can't see it, they'll look into this further.

I believe what you're looking for is this:

The "RED 100%" does NOT show up in the "Affiliate Earnings" Section, rather, it's in your "Personal Sales" Section

I only "Skimmed" through your conversation, but in case that wasn't it, I HAVE noticed that the Actual Price of that Service at the time was $10, so if I get 100% of the (20%) Commissions (from my own Affiliates), it's displaying that only 80% went to my Balance.

I hope it IS being Accounted for though....Somewhere.

Thank you @exjordanary.
I was looking for that to begin with, but I got an answer for that already. Thanks though for providing such a clear screenshot. That might be of help for others

Now we're looking for the 1 / 2 % extra on all sales, (both affiliate sales and sales). That should be indicated somewhere too, but none of us seems to see it.

@hitmeasap So Ive found a few more discrepancies. In the SS below all of those sales are my service that were purchased by affiliates. Yet only one has the 100% next to it.

Hey @ericplotz1
I still haven't heard back from the support yet. I'll have them look into this once they get back to me with the current issues.

I'll let you know once I hear anything!

I had been wondering about this for some time. Thanks guys for trying to clear it up.
Look forward to hearing the latest update.

I figured out why only one of those services had the 100% next to it. It's only for services over $10. My apologies for that, as it was my fault that I did not fully read the details.

The 1-2% is still a mystery tho.

Answers to this is what I'm still waiting for. Hopefully they'll get back to me shortly. Thanks for letting me know about the other things though!

@ericplotz1, support just replied!

Here's what they said:

Hi André,

I'm very sorry you should have been updated the other day when I said, I don't know what's happened.

I was mistaken initially, the 1/2% is not directly indicated and is simply added onto the funds when they clear to your account. Values show at 80%/normal but the amount actual added to your balance after clearing will be the 80% + extra percentage.

The extra percentage is for sales/affiliate sales but will not apply if the order is a sale with an affiliate(as you would already be getting 100% minus fees rather than the usual 80%), they don't get the extra 1/2%.

The indicator in red text I had mentioned in a passed reply was actually only related to 100% orders, that was my mistake.

Dillon

I'm guessing they keep saying 80% as a mistake? It's 10 percent not 80. Either way, I'm getting the entire message is "we're adding it and you'll just have to trust us".

Thanks for looking into it though @hitmeasap

Cheers man!
