Quick Answer
Use the dashboard as the starting point for monitoring your affiliate program.
Open Marketing → Affiliate Manager → Dashboard to review revenue, conversion activity, customers, affiliate performance, pending payouts, registrations, and recent commission activity.
Use the available campaign and date filters to narrow the data before comparing results or making changes.
Using the Affiliate Dashboard Without Missing What Matters
The Affiliate Manager Dashboard combines several areas of your affiliate program into one reporting view.
You can use it to review campaign activity, revenue trends, customer conversions, affiliate performance, pending payouts, new registrations, and recent commission activity.
Because the dashboard displays several types of information at once, it can be easy to focus on a single number without considering the campaign, date range, or related activity behind it.
A consistent review process helps you notice pending work, identify performance changes, and understand which affiliates or campaigns may need more attention.
Affiliate Manager Dashboard at a Glance
The dashboard provides a central view of affiliate program activity and gives you quick access to common management tasks.
Before You Begin
Know what you are trying to review before interpreting the dashboard numbers.
- Decide which affiliate campaign you want to review.
- Select the correct reporting date range.
- Confirm whether you are reviewing revenue, customers, conversions, commissions, or payouts.
- Check whether recent refunds or manual commission changes could affect the displayed totals.
- Confirm that affiliate and campaign setup is complete before evaluating performance.
- Review pending payouts separately from overall sales activity.
Use the same filters when comparing performance
Comparing two campaigns or time periods with different filters can produce misleading conclusions. Confirm the campaign and date range before comparing results.
How to Open and Use the Affiliate Manager Dashboard
Start with the main dashboard, select the correct reporting view, and then move into the individual management areas as needed.
Open Affiliate Manager
Sign in to your BizStackPro account and open the Marketing area from the main navigation.
Marketing → Affiliate ManagerOpen the Dashboard
Select Dashboard inside Affiliate Manager.
The dashboard displays a summary of activity across your affiliate campaigns and provides access to related management areas.
Select a Campaign
Use the campaign selector to choose the campaign you want to review.
Selecting a specific campaign helps prevent unrelated affiliate activity from being included in your analysis.
Select the Date Range
Choose the reporting period that matches the question you are trying to answer.
For example, use a shorter range to review recent changes or a longer range to identify broader performance trends.
Use the New Button When Needed
Use the available + New option to begin creating a campaign or adding an affiliate when those actions are available from your dashboard view.
Confirm which record type you are creating before entering the setup information.
Review the Core Dashboard Metrics
Dashboard metrics help you understand what is happening, but each number should be reviewed in the context of the selected campaign and date range.
Total Revenue
Review the revenue attributed to the selected affiliate campaign and reporting period.
Compare revenue with customer and conversion activity before evaluating campaign quality.
Customers
Review how many customers are connected to the selected affiliate activity.
A customer count can help show whether revenue came from a small number of larger sales or many smaller transactions.
Conversion Performance
Use conversion information to understand how effectively referrals become customers or qualifying actions.
Review traffic quality, campaign structure, and offer relevance before changing commission settings.
Performance Trends
Look for changes across days, weeks, or months instead of judging the program from one isolated result.
Trend changes may indicate stronger promotion, lower activity, seasonal demand, or a tracking issue that needs investigation.
Review Individual Affiliate Performance
Use the affiliate performance or leaderboard area to identify which affiliates are producing the most activity within the selected campaign and date range.
Revenue alone does not always provide the full picture. Review customer activity, conversion performance, commissions, and referral quality before deciding which affiliates need recognition or additional support.
Open the affiliate profile for deeper review
The dashboard provides a summary. Open the individual affiliate profile when you need to inspect referral links, customers, commissions, campaign assignments, or payout details more closely.
Review Pending Payouts
Pending payouts deserve regular attention because they directly affect affiliate trust and payment accuracy.
- Review newly earned commissions before approving payments.
- Confirm refunds or adjustments have already been processed.
- Verify campaign rules before approving recurring commissions.
- Confirm the correct affiliate is receiving credit.
- Review payment history before issuing duplicate payouts.
Verify commissions before approval
Approving payouts without reviewing recent commission activity may result in incorrect payments that require manual adjustments later.
Review Recent Affiliate Activity
The dashboard also provides visibility into recent affiliate activity that may require follow-up.
New Affiliate Registrations
Review new affiliate applications and determine whether additional onboarding or approval is required.
Recent Commissions
Monitor newly generated commissions to verify they match campaign rules and expected customer activity.
Campaign Activity
Compare campaign performance over time to identify improving or declining affiliate engagement.
Revenue Changes
Watch for unexpected increases or decreases that may require additional investigation.
Export Sales and Affiliate Data
Exporting dashboard information allows you to perform deeper reporting outside the platform when additional analysis is needed.
Depending on your account configuration, exported reports may include campaign information, affiliate names, customers, commission values, transaction details, revenue, and related activity.
Keep exported reports organized
Store exported reports with clear filenames and reporting dates so future comparisons remain easy to perform.
Build a Dashboard Review Routine
- Review dashboard activity daily or weekly.
- Compare campaigns using consistent reporting periods.
- Monitor pending payouts before payment dates.
- Investigate unusual revenue or conversion changes.
- Review new affiliate registrations promptly.
- Export reports periodically for historical comparisons.
- Follow up with individual affiliate profiles when more detailed information is required.
