What is the transaction status?

The Transaction Status (for example, Paid, Approved, or Rejected) is a configurable set of labels that operators can use to support their internal payment approval and processing workflows.

These statuses are intended for operational and administrative purposes only and can be used in whatever way best suits the operator's internal processes.
 

Note: Transaction statuses do not affect affiliate balances within MyAffiliates.

Changing a transaction's status will not:

• Clear an affiliate's outstanding balance.
• Update the affiliate's carried balance.
• Mark commission as paid from a financial perspective.

For MyAffiliates, the transaction status itself has no functional impact on balances or payment calculations. The only setting that affects whether a transaction is considered outstanding or settled is the Transaction Visibility flag.

As a result, operators should use transaction statuses as workflow indicators rather than as a mechanism for managing affiliate balances.
