How a balance is made

What it is

Every amount that changes what a partner is owed is written as a line in their ledger. A line is never changed or deleted afterwards; a correction is a new line. The balance is the sum of those lines.

What adds to it

• Approved conversions: the payout of each conversion with the status Approved.
• Client revenue share: for offers that pay a share of what a client brings over time, each movement of the client's metrics.
• Bonuses with a positive amount, from their billable day.

What takes from it

• Payments in a settlement.
• Bonuses with a negative amount (a deduction).
• A conversion that turns from approved to rejected, refunded or fraud: its payout is taken back with a new line.

What does not count yet

• Pending, on hold and quality control conversions: they show in the partner's earnings as pending, and count when they are approved. An on-hold conversion moves on by itself when its hold time ends.
• Test conversions never count.

Good to know

• Balances are counted in the partner's payout currency.
• The cut-off date of a payout decides which lines are paid now; later lines stay for the next run.
