A commission can have two statuses: active or inactive.
In practice, in the commission table:
- Active commissions have any amount or calculation filled.
- Inactive commissions have a blank amount.
If you want to create a transaction from a commission without any payout – for example, just to record a microconversion, you can enter “0” in the amount.
You can also make a commission active only for the workspace or only for affiliates (and vice versa).
Just be aware that if you pay affiliates for leads but only receive a payout from the advertiser for sales, you risk a loss if those leads do not convert well enough.
