What are Pending Commissions?

What does Pending Commissions mean? Why are they classified as pending? When do they stop being pending?

Thanks,

Jon

 

I just asked this and was told a month from sale i guess.

They stop pending on the 10 of the month, unless your advertiser chooses to extend them. When they extend them, they "extend" them an extra 30 days.

Green rep?

 

I think it means that the merchant is taking time to verify the transaction. They make sure that it's a valid lead/sale, and not fraud.

 

i wonder why other affiliate programs can give live stats but CJ cannot?
some of the offers are pretty much the same

 

I think it depends on the type of action you create, whether its a sale or lead.

Leads usually pay automotically, and often don't require any verifications. Sales on the other hand, require someone to verify the transaction, so it takes time.

Smaller affiliate networks often use lead action to pay, so its usually credited to your account automatically.

 

some commisions seem to be pending forever, its irritating
