If you want/need to remove an affiliate from an existing transaction, you can easily do this from your transactions area in your ThriveCart dashboard, as well as choose to recall previously earned and even paid commissions.
Some things to note regarding transaction commission clawback:
- When removing an affiliate from an existing transaction, you will have the option to leave any earned commissions associated with the affiliate or claw back/remove commissions.
- Clawing back commissions will attempt to pull any paid funds from their connected PayPal account and remove the paid mention (for both PayPal paid and Manual payments) from your ThriveCart analytics.
- When an affiliate is removed from a transaction, no future commissions will be paid to that affiliate, and their relationship with the customer will be removed for that specific transaction.
