Affiliate Payouts Don’t Have to Cause So Much Pain: How Affise Pay Simplifies Operations for CFOs and COOs

Managing affiliate payouts is a critical yet often frustrating part of running an affiliate network.

Challenges of Traditional Payout Process in Affiliate Marketing

1. Affiliate Onboarding: Slow & Manual

Traditional Workflow:

A new affiliate registers and submits payment details (often through a simple chat)
Payment details are manually entered into spreadsheets.
Finance teams verify information across multiple systems. This process often takes up to 72 hours.
Mistakes – such as incorrect bank details – lead to failed transactions and delays.

Faster revenue generation – partners can begin earning immediately.

Error-free processing – removes the risk of manual entry mistakes.

2. Time-Consuming Payment Calculation & Reconciliation

Traditional Workflow:

Conversions are tracked in a spreadsheet, changes in statuses need to be reflected manually.
Hard to keep track of balances across affiliates / campaigns / managers.
Limited transparency for affiliates in terms of which conversions are due payment, their expected incomes.

3. Cumbersome and Error-Prone Payment Processing

Traditional Workflow:

Payments are done manually through bank portals.
Each transaction requires going through a transfer set up, including manually copy-pasting affiliate details, sum, currency, and double-checking it.

International payouts may trigger additional inquiries from your bank.
Affiliates may receive less than expected due to manual errors.
