Okay, so I actually have 3 affiliates I need to pay this month and trying to figure out how????
I can see the commission amounts in the affiliate commission report, but is there a way to make the payment to them (via paypal) or at least mark it paid after I use send money in Paypal??
Hadn't looked at that end of it before and am a bit confused.

There is no way to pay affiliates from inside openCart, but when you paid them outside, you just go to Edit Affiliate page and add a transaction with negative amount. E.g. you paid affiliate A $100 in paypal. Then in admin you go to affiliate A's Edit page and add transaction with amount -100.

Ah, okay thanks. If I can track it at least, that works.

Unfortunatelly option with negative fee doesn't work. I have the same issue, don't know how to set up commision to zero when I pay off my partner (OC2).

The affiliate system has evolved on OC 3 releases as opposed to OC 2. May be that would resolve the issue or by simply using an extension from the Marketplace.

It does work just fine. If it doesn't work for you, then either something's wrong with your site, or you are looking in the wrong place.

OK, I got it. A edited column Amount in oc_affiliate_transaction table via phpMyAdmin, I put there negative amount and it was saved correctly. Not ideal solution but it works.
