The Scheduled Payouts feature lets you adjust affiliate commission rates based on time. You can set a specific date on which the new commission rates (payouts) will take effect.

How to schedule payouts?
First, create the new payout or payout group you want to apply to the affiliate once the scheduled date arrives. Be sure to set them as ‘Personal Payout’ types, so affiliates won’t see these payouts until they take effect.
Once you’ve created the commission rates you want to schedule, the next step is to set up the schedule itself.
From your admin dashboard, go to the ‘Affiliate Management’ page and click on the name of the affiliate for whom you want to configure the scheduled payout.

On the affiliate’s manage page, navigate to the ‘Payout Groups Settings’ tab and on that screen click the ‘Schedule’ tab.

Click the ‘Add New’ button where you will select the scheduled payout or payout group and date.
