Affiliate advanced tabs show mock data: where are the real numbers?
A merchant opened the analytics, commission, and payout tabs in the affiliate app, found numbers that do not match sales, and doubted the whole tracking system.
Why this happens
Because the six advanced tabs shipped with their interfaces before their backends were completed, they read from static mock data while real tracking runs through the simple routes only.
What Vareons does about it
The app provides a complete Simple mode: link creation with generated codes through create-link, per-link click, signup, conversion, and order stats, and tracking through ?ref=CODE down to data.affiliateCode on the order, plus an urgent-fix request button on the Advanced layer.
- apps.affiliate.supported — Affiliate Program app: Available
- apps.marketplace.supported — Apps marketplace (install/open/uninstall): Available
Limitations
No automatic commission payouts exist yet; settlement happens outside the system. Never use Advanced figures for any financial decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find the real affiliate numbers?
In the simple links list inside the simple mode, which shows click, signup, conversion, and order statistics per link. Fully ignore the advanced-tab figures, since they are illustrative data for display only.
Why do advanced-tab numbers never match sales?
Because their interfaces shipped before their backends were finished, so they read from static data unrelated to real movement. True tracking runs through the simple routes only, and the advanced layer sits under maintenance cover until its fix completes.
Are commissions paid automatically from the system?
No, no automatic commission payouts exist yet and settlement happens outside the system. Use simple-mode numbers to compute dues, then run payment through your usual channel outside the platform.
