Managing Multiple Affiliate Commissions with Bulk Actions
Overview of Bulk Actions for Commissions
The Bulk Actions feature for Affiliate Commissions allows you to approve, deny, or delete multiple commission records simultaneously. This tool is designed to save you time and reduce repetitive administrative work, particularly when handling a large number of commissions for review or payout.
Accessing Bulk Actions
You can use Bulk Actions from two primary locations within your CRM's Affiliate Manager:
- From an Individual Affiliate's Profile: Manage commissions for a specific affiliate.
- From the Main Commissions Dashboard: Manage commissions across all affiliates at once.
Using Bulk Actions from an Affiliate Profile
Follow these steps to manage multiple commissions for a single affiliate.
- Navigate to the Marketing section and open the Affiliate Manager.
- From the list of affiliates, click on the name of the affiliate you wish to manage.
- Inside the affiliate's profile, click on the Commissions tab.
- Use the checkboxes next to each commission to select the records you want to modify.
- Click the Bulk Actions button.
- From the menu that appears, select Approve, Deny, or Delete.
Using Bulk Actions from the Commissions Dashboard
To perform actions on commissions from multiple affiliates in one place, use the main dashboard.
- Go to the main Affiliate Manager Dashboard.
- Locate the section that lists commissions, such as Latest Commissions.
- Use the checkboxes to select the commissions you wish to act upon. You can select commissions from different affiliates.
- Click the Bulk Actions button and choose your desired action.
Filtering Commissions
To quickly find specific commissions for bulk processing, use the available filters.
- Status Filter: Filter commissions by their current status, such as Pending, Approved, or Denied.
- Campaign Filter: Filter commissions to show only those linked to a specific affiliate campaign.
You can combine these filters to narrow down the list precisely before selecting records for a bulk action.

Will affiliates be notified when I use a bulk action on their commissions?
