- Accepting commissions
If you want to accept commissions, you have to complete in the file the following columns:
- id => the id of the commission
- status => accepted

By using this file you will accept all the commissions added to the CSV.
The file must contain all the fields as the head of the table, but you can only complete the necessary fields, in this case, “id” and “status”.
- Rejecting commissions
For rejecting commissions, besides the “id” and the “status” of the commission, “rejected”, you have to add a reason for rejecting the commissions (eg.: the order was canceled, the order was returned, etc. )

By using this file you, will reject all the commissions added to the CSV.
The file must contain all the fields as the head of the table, but you can only complete the necessary fields, in this case, “id”, “status”, and “reason”.
- Edit commissions
There might be some cases when the order is changed in your system after it was placed (some products were removed, others were added, etc.).
In this case, you can accept the commissions and change their value at the same time to reflect the final value of the order.
Depending on the commissioning type you use in your program, you have two options to process the commissions:
- Edit sale value
This option is recommended if you use a fixed percentage commission in your program.
The following columns are required for changing the sale’s value of a commission:
- id => the id of the commission
- status => accepted
- reason => the reason for changing the sale’s value
- sale_amount => final value of the sale
- currency_code => the currency in which the commissions are expressed
You will add to the file the final order value and the commission will be automatically changed accordingly.

- Edit commission value
If you are using a variable percentage in your program, it’s recommended to change the commission’s value.
The CVS file has to contain the following information:
- id => the id of the commission
- status => accepted
- reason => the reason for changing the sale’s value
- amount => final value of the commission
- currency_code => the currency in which the commissions are expressed

Info: You can create separate files for each status, but you can also create one file for all the commissions if the file will not exceed 2 MB. You can download here an example, a CSV file with all possible status changes for the commissions: |
