Reconcile SaaS affiliate commissions and received payments

Content updated:

Short answer

Reconcile referred sales, approved commissions and payments to identify affiliate amounts awaiting payment. Keep states and adjustments separate; a click, registration, commission and bank receipt are not the same event.

Key verification: Associate each payment with its transactions and investigate discrepancies without counting income twice.

Sources and limitations

To know what affiliate income is actually pending collection, reconcile referred sales, approved commissions, and payments received. One click, free registration and paid commission are different facts. This guide produces a reconciliation record for an agency or publication that recommends SaaS software.

Separate commission and payment states

Record supplier, program, referral identifier, sales period, currency, commission amount and status. Maintains the program conditions that applied to the referral. A subsequent change in the percentage does not imply that all historical operations change.

Reditus describes a commission model per paying customer, not per click, in theirOfficial source affiliate questions. Each program can define different windows, duration and conditions. Do not copy the percentage from a commercial example as if it were your contract.

Reconciliation template

Reconcile SaaS affiliate commissions and received payments: table 1
Fictitious operation Commission State Action
R-101, September, EUR €20 Approved Link to next payment
R-102, September, EUR €15 Pending Wait for review and save evidence
R-103, September, EUR €10 Rejected Register reason and review conditions
R-104, August, EUR €30 Paid Reconcile with movement received

In this made-up example, there are €20 approved not yet paid and €15 subject to review. The €10 rejected are not added to the pending collection. The €30 already paid is not counted again because it appears in a historical report.

Link each payment to its transactions

  1. Download the available details of the period and retain its extraction date.
  2. Identify the commissions included in the payment or request a breakdown.
  3. Add only those operations in their currency.
  4. Compare the sum with the receipt and with the movement received.
  5. Explains differences due to adjustments, conversion or documented payment fees.
  6. Marks the operations as reconciled only once.

Do not add 20 EUR and 20 USD as forty euros. Save the original currency and, if you need a common view, document the conversion criteria used for that report. This operational record does not replace accounting or determine tax treatment.

Investigate a specific discrepancy

If a sale does not appear, retain date, commercial reference and permitted evidence. Ask the program about this operation and avoid sending unnecessary personal data. A purchase made after a click does not automatically show that the program should attribute it to your account.

If you change a fee after a refund, keep the adjustment as a new annotation linked to the original. Silently rewriting the previous month makes it difficult to explain the difference.

When to use a platform

Reditus can centralize referrals and commissions from the programs that operate on its platform. To start, a sheet with statements and proof of payment may be enough. Value the tool for the traceability it actually provides, not for a promise of income.
