Enter the order amount and optionally override the commission rate. Most sales are recorded for you — when a referred customer buys through a connected tool like Stripe or Shopify, Referly logs the sale and credits the affiliate automatically. But sometimes you need to add one by hand: a payment taken offline, a deal closed over email, or a sale from a source Referly doesn't track. Adding a sale records that purchase against the customer and credits commission to the affiliate who referred them. ## Add a sale to a customer In your [Customers list](/docs/help-center/manage/customers/overview), find the customer and open their actions menu on the right of their row. Choose **Add Sale**. In the **Order Amount** field, type the value of the sale in the customer's currency. This is the total the customer paid, and it's what the affiliate's commission is worked out from. Select **Add Sale**. The sale is recorded against the customer, their revenue updates, and commission is credited to the referring affiliate based on that affiliate's commission plan. ## Override the commission rate By default, the commission for the sale is worked out from the affiliate's [commission plan](/docs/help-center/manage/customers/change-commission-plan) — you don't have to think about the rate at all. If this one sale should pay a different rate, turn on **Override Commission Rate** before adding it. A **Commission Rate** field appears where you enter a percentage from 0 to 100. That rate applies to this sale only; it doesn't change the customer's plan or affect any other sale. Use this when a single order has special terms — a one-off higher rate to reward a big deal, or a lower rate on a discounted purchase — without setting up a whole new plan. ## What happens after Once a sale is added: * The customer's **Revenue** and **Profit** update to include it. * Commission is credited to the referring affiliate, ready to be approved and paid out on your normal schedule. * The sale is counted in your program's totals and reports. You can add more than one sale to the same customer over time — each is recorded separately and credited on its own. ## Related Set which plan decides what a customer's sales pay.
