Restore reversed actions

To restore a reversed action to a valid pending state, select Approve in the Actions column to override the reversal. The action will return to the Pending Payouts: Actions page, and will lock based on the contract terms established with the partner.

If you have any orders you wish to have re-attributed, impact.com can correct attribution to ensure that orders not yet locked are still eligible for crediting with the use of re-processing. If you need assistance with re-processing or reattributing any orders, contact support.

Automate returns processing

If you don’t want to process your reversals manually, there are a few ways to automate the process. You can set up an event type and specify your preferred option of automated returns processing.

To do so, follow these steps:

  1. From the left navigation menu, select ellipsis-v-solid.svg [Menu] Settings.

  2. Under Tracking, select Event Types.

  3. Hover your cursor over the event type for which you want to automate returns processing and select ellipsis-h-solid__1_.svg [More]View / Edit.

  4. Select pencil-alt-solid.svg [Edit] on the right-hand end of the Returns Processing row.
