Manual bonus awards

You can now award bonus commissions to individual affiliates straight from the dashboard.

Commission plans handle the systematic rewards, but real programs run on exceptions too: the partner who landed you a customer outside their tracked link, the champion you promised a launch bonus, the one-off spiff for whoever wins the month. Those used to require workarounds. Now they're a dialog.

Open the Give Bonus dialog on any affiliate, enter an amount and a reason, and you're done. Use it to reward top performers, run one-off promos, or make good on a special arrangement.

The reason field matters more than it looks: it's what the affiliate sees attached to the money, which turns a line item into recognition.

Once awarded, the bonus shows up everywhere it should:

• In the affiliate's payout details, counted with everything else owed.
• In the transactions table, so your books stay complete.
• In the rewards section of the affiliate portal.

So affiliates always see exactly what they earned and why, and bonuses flow through your normal payout process — no side payments to track by hand.
