Transaction type

⚠️ This setting is only available for workspace commissions from advertisers, because partner commissions reflect those values.

By default, the system has the following transaction types.

Sale

Not every conversion type has a corresponding transaction type.

By default, every transaction is created with the transaction type Sale.

If you want to change this, you can use the Transaction type setting to choose a different type. This allows you to create more granular commission structures, for example, having one commission for prospect and another for sales.

If you want to pay not only for sales but also for prospects, set the transaction type to Prospect for the relevant commission, together with any other applicable Commission Conditions. This way, the system will correctly differentiate between the two types of transactions and apply the right payout rules for each.

On page Prospect + Sale vs Pending Sale you can see why it is useful.
