Commissions

The Commissions screen is the list. One row per order line item, per affiliate, with a status that tracks the order it came from.

Open the commissions list

Go to DevDiggers Plugins → Affiliates → Commissions.

The columns

Column	What it shows
ID	The commission ID
Affiliate	User ID, username and email
Order	The WooCommerce order and the customer
Product	Product name and quantity
Commission	The commission amount, with the order line total under it
Status & Date	Current status and when it last changed

One order with three items creates three commission rows. That is deliberate. A per-product rule can pay a different rate on each line, and a partial refund can reduce one line on its own.

The seven statuses

Status	What it means
Pending	Earned and awaiting payment. This is the normal resting state.
Pending Payment	Included in a payout that has not completed yet
Paid	The payout completed
Not Confirmed	The order has not been paid for yet
Cancelled	The order was cancelled or failed
Refunded	The order was refunded

How order status drives commission status

The plugin maps the WooCommerce order status onto the commission status every time the order changes.

Order status	Commission becomes
Processing or Completed	Pending
Pending payment or On hold	Not Confirmed
Cancelled or Failed	Cancelled
Refunded	Refunded
Anything else	Pending

Two statuses are never set this way. Pending Payment and Paid come from the payout process alone, and a commission already sitting in either one is skipped when the order status changes. That protects money you have already committed to paying from being reversed by a late edit to the order.

Partial refunds

A partial refund does not cancel the commission. The plugin works out how much of the refund applies to that line and subtracts it from the commission amount. The difference is recorded in a Refund figure. The row stays payable at the reduced amount.

A full refund sets the order status to Refunded, which moves the whole commission to Refunded. See How to Handle Refunds and Reversals for the case where the commission was already paid.

Filtering

Status tabs across the top filter to All, Pending, Pending Payment, Paid, Not Confirmed, Cancelled or Refunded.

Below them are four more filters:

• From and To date fields
• An affiliate selector, searchable by ID, name or email
• A product selector

Search by ID uses the search box on the right.

Bulk actions

Tick rows and choose an action. The list splits in two.

• Change a status directly: Pending, Not Confirmed, Cancelled, Refunded or Paid.
• Create a payout: one entry per enabled withdrawal method, plus Pay to Affiliate Default Withdrawal Method. That last one uses whatever each affiliate chose themselves. This is the free version’s route to paying people: filter to Pending, select the rows, pick a method.
• Delete removes the rows outright.

Caution

Change Status to Paid marks a commission paid without creating a payout record. Use it only to correct a mistake. For real payments use one of the Pay via actions so the payment is recorded with a method, an amount and a reference.
