Affiliate earnings and volume discounts

If your organization is an affiliate — you refer another organization under the affiliate program — you can track the fees you have earned. If your organization receives volume discounts, they appear on your invoices. Both are visible to organization owners.

Viewing affiliate earnings

Open your organization's Accounting → Affiliate earnings page. The tab lists one row per affiliate link, showing the referred organization, the fee percentage, whether the link is active, and the total earned.

Affiliate earnings

The page shows:

  • Total distributable credit and Total credit balance — summary cards. The distributable credit is the withdrawable balance: the part of your credit that came from earnings, as opposed to promotional credit granted by staff.
  • Affiliate links — one row per link; expand a row to see its monthly accruals (one row per fee, with the invoice period, amount and date).
  • Credit transactions — a button that opens the full ledger of how your credit changed over time (earned fees, staff adjustments, payouts and more) with the type, amount, comment and date of each entry.

Note

For privacy, the earnings view shows only the amount, the period, and the referred organization's name. It never exposes what the referred organization purchased.

Earned fees are added to your organization's credit. The Adjust withdrawable balance button on this page is available to staff only.

Volume discounts on invoices

When your organization qualifies for a volume discount, it is applied when the invoice is finalized and appears as a separate discount line paired with each discounted component. Open an invoice from Accounting → Invoices and expand a resource to see the breakdown.

Volume discount lines on an invoice

Each discount line is shown in green with a negative amount, indented directly under the component it applies to (for example, ↳ Volume discount — CPU Cores (15%)). Hover over the information icon to see the discount percentage, the formula, and the usage the discount was based on. The discount is distributed across the individual components, so every project's share of the saving is reflected in its own line items.

Tip

Depending on how the service provider configured the component, a discount is calculated either on your total usage of that component across the whole organization — so consolidating usage can push you into a higher discount tier — or on each resource's own usage.
