Hop ledger columns
Approved payout $ — ClickBank dollars marked approved / owed on the hop ledger window.
Paid payout $ — ClickBank dollars actually disbursed in that same window.
CB approved-paid gap % = (approved − paid) ÷ approved × 100. Fat CB approved-paid gap % usually means hop holds or rejects — chase that seat; never invent a CB approved-paid gap chip.
Guardrails
Do not invent CB approved-paid gap %. Do not dump approved-to-paid lag days into dollar boxes. Do not treat pending as paid. Do not fuse every hop when one ClickBank offer owns the unpaid pile. Do not paste CAKE advertiser-settlement CSVs into ClickBank fields.
