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, marked as Manual Reward with no associated customer:

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.
