Bulk Actions
If your store has many affiliates, you will get many conversions. Approving them one at a time is slow. The Conversions page has built-in bulk actions for exactly this.
How to select conversions
- Go to Conversions.
- Optionally filter by Status = Pending to see only the ones you need to review.
- Click the checkbox on the left of each row you want to act on.
- To select all on the current page, click the header checkbox at the top.
A bar appears at the top showing "N selected" and the available bulk actions.
Available bulk actions
| Action label in the toolbar | What it does |
|---|---|
| Approve selected | Set all selected Pending rows to Approved. Sends approval emails. |
| Deny selected | Set all selected Pending rows to Denied. Sends denial emails. |
Both actions are reversible — select the same rows again and use the opposite action, or use the per-row Undo action.
A success toast appears when the operation completes, e.g. "Approved 12 conversion(s)".
Selecting across pages
Bulk select only covers the current page (25 or 50 rows depending on your page-size setting). If you have 300 pending conversions and want to approve all, you need to:
- Option A — Increase page size to the max (100), then select-all-and-approve, then do the next page, etc.
- Option B — Filter by Affiliate (if approving for one affiliate) or by Date range to reduce to one page.
What happens when you bulk approve
Behind the scenes, the app processes each conversion in sequence:
- Updates the status to Approved.
- Recalculates the affiliate's pending payout total.
- Queues the approval email (sent within a few minutes).
For 50+ conversions, this can take 10–30 seconds. A loading indicator stays visible until it completes.
Bulk-denying with a reason
Bulk deny does not let you add a per-conversion reason. If you want to explain why a batch was denied, update your default denial reason in Email Notifications before denying. Every denial email uses that reason.
Non-actionable statuses
You cannot bulk-act on conversions with these statuses:
- Paid — locked, no edits allowed.
- Refund adjustment — system-created, not user-editable.
Selecting these in a bulk action has no effect — they are skipped silently.
Tips for high-volume workflows
- Review once a week — most merchants batch-review every Monday. Takes 15 minutes for a 100-affiliate program.
- Auto-approve trusted affiliates — manually approve their conversions in bulk immediately after they appear.
- Deny by pattern — filter by affiliate name (if one affiliate is gaming the system) and bulk-deny.
- Use Date filter — only review conversions older than 7 days, to give time for refunds to settle.
