CAKE payout clawback is not Digistore clawback

How to run thisTraffic3 steps
CalculatorCAKE payout-clawback share · Calculator lives in the articleOpen

CK clawback % is the slice of CAKE affiliate payouts that reverse after they clear on one network pay run. Reversed dollars count. Every posted CAKE payout sits under.

Pair: Payout-clawback share on Traffic. Vendor twin: Digistore payout-clawback. Hold twin: payout-hold.

What you type

Clawed-back payout $ — CAKE affiliate dollars reversed after they cleared in the pay run.

Total payout $ — Every CAKE affiliate payout posted in that same pay run.

CK clawback % = reversed ÷ posted × 100. A fat CK clawback % usually means refunded conversions or fraud on loud affiliates — freeze those subids. Never invent a CK clawback chip.

What not to do

Do not invent CK clawback %. Do not drop a Digistore or RedTrack clawback CSV into CAKE fields. Do not count held or pending affiliate pay as reversed. Do not blend networks when one offer owns the reversals.

  2. Read CK clawback %.
