Affiliate commission calculation automates payouts by tracking which marketing source referred each order, then computing the correct commission amount based on attribution rules. This Skill extracts order data and source metadata to assign commissions accurately without manual reconciliation.

Revenue attribution tracking captures click sources and customer referrals across affiliate channels, matching each order to its originating marketing link. This enables precise channel-level performance measurement and prevents commission disputes.

Affiliate tracking requires order data (customer purchase details, amounts), referral source identifiers (affiliate IDs, click parameters), and commission rate rules. Collecting these inputs upfront ensures accurate attribution and payout calculations.

Order attribution maps each customer purchase to the affiliate link or referral source that drove the click. The system matches order timestamps and customer identifiers against click logs to credit the correct marketing source for commission purposes.

Automated tracking depends on consistent click parameter passing and reliable order-to-click matching. Edge cases like multi-touch attribution, delayed conversions, or missing referral data may require manual review or custom rules.
