Managing Accounts
Each customer who has joined your Affiliate policy automatically created an account that provides a single place from which his or her progress and involvement can be tracked and viewed.
All of these accounts are located at Marketing -> Affiliate -> Accounts.
Note
You cannot remove a customer from your Affiliate program, but you can either exclude them from your Programs or revoke their approval, thus effectively cutting off their commissions flow.Working with Affiliate Accounts
Each account managing page consists of four subsections:
- General Information - contains base profile of Affiliate.
- Transactions - contains a filtered grid, where all their transactions can be viewed
