I’m testing on PayPal sandbox. I placed an order with a customer sandbox account. Affiliates are also sandbox accounts. I don’t see the payment on PayPal Sandbox notifications nor on Affiliate Areas, although I do get the notification emails and see the number of referrals on Affiliate Area. Is this not going to show up on sandbox accounts?
Also, I get notifications when I hit Place Order to go to PayPal. How can I make it so that affiliates get notified only when the order is complete through PayPal?
Thank you!
Hi,
Affiliates does not make payment automatically via paypal. If you want to pay the commissions to affiliates, you can use “Paypal mass payment file” (on Affiliates->Totals).
You can control the notifications setting up “referral default status” on Affiliates->Options to “Pending”, and set “Notify when a referral is accepted” on Affiliates->Notifications. Affiliates Woocommerce Integration update the order status when payment is completed.
