How to add a manual reward to a partner

A manual reward lets you issue a reward to a partner without a transaction behind it. Once added, it's marked as available and unpaid, and it counts toward the partner's next payout. Use it for bonuses, contest prizes, goodwill payouts, or other one-off adjustments.

Add a reward

To add a manual reward:

1. Open the profile of the partner you want to reward.
2. Scroll to the Rewards distribution section and click Add reward. 
3. Fill in the form.
   • Amount (required): the reward value, issued in the partner's commission currency
   • Note (optional): a short explanation of why the reward was given, shown in the reward's details
   • Date (optional): the date to record the reward on, defaults to today if left empty
     
4. Click Add.

The reward is added immediately and appears in the partner's history.

Good to know

A manual reward behaves like any other reward. It's added to the partner's balance and becomes available to pay out. Since it isn't tied to a transaction or a commission rule, it shows as a Manual Reward in the partner's history and isn't counted in the Rewards distribution breakdown.
