Product Updates

Managing affiliate payouts shouldn’t drain your day. We’re excited to introduce Managed Payouts — a new Rewardful feature designed to streamline and consolidate affiliate commissions into one clean, reliable workflow.

Previously, paying affiliates meant chasing tax forms, reconciling invoices, and sending dozens of payments across PayPal, Wise, and bank transfers.

Now, you’ll fund a single invoice to Rewardful and we’ll handle the rest. Commissions are distributed to affiliates, who can withdraw right from their Rewardful dashboard via local bank transfer, SEPA transfer, wire transfer, PayPal, or check.

Managed Payouts helps you:

• Consolidate affiliate payouts into one simple process, replacing multiple providers and manual steps.
• Reduce admin and errors with tracked, reconciled, on‑time payments.
• Stay compliant with simplified tax documentation and clear invoices.

Check if you are eligible for Managed Payouts — email us at hello@rewardful.com.

Take control of how referral traffic is tracked with our new Block Referral Traffic from Custom Domains feature.

Previously, blocking referral traffic was limited to major search engines like Google and Bing.

Now, you can block specific domains, including AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini, as well as any custom domain of your choice. This can be done directly in the Campaign Settings under Traffic Source Control.

This feature helps you:

• Prevent affiliates from gaining an unfair advantage through unintended traffic sources. 
• Ensure program compliance by blocking traffic from domains you don’t want included in referral tracking. 
• Maintain greater transparency and control over your program’s traffic.

How to block traffic from custom domains:

1. Go to Campaign Settings > Traffic Source Control.
2. Toggle ‘Ignore traffic from domains specified by you’. 
3. Add the domains you want to block (single or comma-separated). 
4. Save your changes and you’re done!

This update works independently of the existing ‘Ignore traffic from major search engines’ option, giving you full flexibility to manage your referral traffic sources.

We have made several quality-of-life improvements to streamline the management of your affiliate program, making it easier and faster for busy merchants handling multiple tasks.

Find Affiliate Invitations Faster with Email Search

Managing affiliate invitations is now much easier.

Previously, finding a specific invitation required scrolling through a lengthy list, which was particularly challenging when managing multiple campaigns or affiliates.

Now, you can search for any email address directly from the Affiliates > Invitations tab.

Search works across all invitation states (Pending, Accepted, Revoked), so it’s faster to resend, revoke, or review any invite — no more digging around.

Centralized Payments Menu

We’ve consolidated all payout- and billing-related settings under a new Payments tab in the main navigation.

Before, payout settings and subscription details were scattered in different parts of the app. Now, everything is in one place:

• Payouts
• Payout Settings
• Your Subscription

This update makes it easier to manage payouts, update payment methods, or review billing info without the need to switch between menus.

Sort Campaigns by Performance

You can now sort campaigns by performance metrics to help you focus on what works best.

In the Campaigns tab, you can sort by:

• Number of affiliates
• Net revenue

This feature allows you to easily identify your highest-performing campaigns, enabling smarter decisions when managing partnerships or conducting experiments.

Understanding where your affiliate traffic originates is key to optimizing your program strategy.

We're excited to introduce a new feature: Top Traffic Sources – designed to give you deeper insights into how affiliates are driving traffic to your website.

You can now view the top referral sources used by each affiliate over the past 60 days.

Top Traffic Sources makes it easier to evaluate the current strategy, ensure compliance with brand guidelines, and optimize partner performance. It’s especially helpful for identifying whether an affiliate is sending traffic from coupon sites, search ads, or other channels.

How to enable Top Traffic Sources:

Go to the Affiliates tab, open an affiliate’s profile, and click on “Top Traffic Sources” in their dashboard. This view is available for all affiliates and updates daily — helping you make more informed decisions across your program.

Managing affiliate traffic can be challenging, especially when affiliates run ads or target brand terms.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a solution to help address this challenge.

Introducing our Traffic Source Control — a feature designed to protect your brand from unwanted affiliate activity.

With this update, merchants can now block referral traffic from certain domains to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.

Key Benefits:

• Minimized fraud risk: Automatically block referral traffic originating from the following search engines: Google, Bing, Baidu, and Yandex. This includes traffic from search ads.
• Greater control over traffic sources: Enable or disable the blocklist for each campaign individually, providing flexibility and control over your program.
• Seamless management: We started with an initial list of domains that we'll continuously update to help ensure your brand remains protected.

How to Get Started:

Simply navigate to the “Traffic source control” setting in your campaign setup to toggle the blocklist on or off. You’ll be able to manage and customize these restrictions for each campaign to ensure the best outcome.
