Affiliate ledger

Affiliates and admin need to keep a track of different transactions that take place in the affiliate's account. It allows you to view and manage these transactions. 

The ledger of all affiliates is maintained in the Affiliate ledger. Here, all the transactions are listed for the following scenarios:

• When an order is paid, the transaction for the order is added to the affiliate ledger as a commission.
• If the order is canceled, the entry in the affiliate ledger is reversed.
• The entry for returns and refunds is automatically debited.

You can define the Affiliate ledger rules to automate the transaction entries for the order in the affiliate ledger. 

Go to Affiliates > Affiliate ledger of the StoreHippo Admin Panel to access the ledger.
