FlexOffers gives advertisers the opportunity to add manual transactions and bonus commissions to the platform each month. You may want to give publishers a bonus commission for the following reasons:
- Your company set up a sales threshold contest and you want to pay the winning publisher additional commission.
- Your company set up a paid placement with a publisher to provide extra exposure to your brand.
- Publishers were accidentally in the wrong commissionable offer for a period of time and you want to send over the full amount of commission owed to them.
Your company can also manually add affiliate transactions for any reason. Advertisers can add manual transactions and bonus commissions to the platform by taking the following steps:
Bonus Commissions
1. Go to “Accounting” >> “Reconcile Sales”
2. Select the proper month and click “Add New”
3. Take the following actions:
- Change “Sales Type” to “Bonus.”
- Select the program responsible for the bonus.
- Select the publisher responsible for the bonus.
- Type in the total bonus commission amount you want to give to the publisher. This bonus commission amount is given directly to the publisher. If you type in “500,” the publisher will receive $500.
- Add a comment describing why you are adding this transaction (this step is optional).
Adding bonus commissions can be a great way to incentivize your publishers to promote your brand.
