Can I Override the Negative Earnings Setting per Affiliate?

Yes. The negative earnings policy can be overridden at the customer group level for an individual affiliate.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to the affiliate dashboard:

Home > Affiliates > [Affiliate Name] > Channels

2. Select the relevant channel.
3. Locate the customer group and click the Edit (pencil) icon.

4. In the Edit Group window, choose the desired Negative Commission Policy:

1. Same as Deal
2. Pay
3. Carry
4. Discard

5. Save the changes.

If Pay, Carry, or Discard is selected, the chosen option becomes the enforced negative earnings policy for that customer group.
This overrides the negative earnings setting defined in the Deal.
If Same as Deal is selected, the customer group will inherit the negative earnings policy configured in the assigned Deal.

Note: Negative earnings policies are configured per customer group. This allows individual affiliates to have different negative earnings behaviour from the default behaviour defined in the Deal.
