With OffersHub, you have a set of tools to help you keep track of which publishers to pay when to pay them, and through which method to pay them. The Publisher billing system is an optional setting and does not affect the stats of your Publishers/ Affiliates. It builds on top of stats to keep track of what has been paid and what hasn’t.
How to enable Affiliate Billing
Before you start generating invoices for your network, you need to make sure that your billing system is configured and enabled. Go to Settings> System Preferences > Affiliate Settings. On the next page, there should be a setting labelled as “Enable Affiliate Billing” that you set to “Enabled”:
Once this setting is enabled, the affiliate settings page will contain a Affiliate Billing section that shows all the network-wide partner billing settings. The following settings are displayed in that section:
Affiliate Invoicing Frequency
This setting determines how often you want to generate invoices for publishers/ affiliates. You can choose from weekly, bimonthly, monthly, every two months, quarterly, manual, or other. You also have the option to set this for each individual publisher if they have negotiated to be on different invoice frequencies.
Auto Generate Invoices
Enable this setting if you want to generate partner invoices automatically based on partner billing preferences. If this setting is “Disabled”, you can manually generate invoices from the affiliate billing section.
