Affiliate+ Earnings Not Accurate since 8/15
Anyone else notice that they have little to no earnings for shipped items under the Affiliate+ tab since 8/15?
For context, I do at least $200+ daily in Affiliate+ (Creator Connections) earnings bare minimum. Been that way for months and I've been an affiliate for years.
Suddenly, once 8/15 hit, I have seen earnings go from that to hardly anything (i.e. $30 one day, $17 another). The Sponsored Products for Creators earnings (EPC) seems accurate though, albeit those earnings have fallen over the last month (due to weak payouts - used to CRUSH it on those earnings too).
I reached out to Amazon twice now, and of course, the answer is never the same. One person said that it can take up to 14 days to credit and that is the "new process", but that didn't make much sense when everything else appears to be reporting as normal.
Another said it's due to the change in reporting, but that still offers nothing. I get they condensed the report, but I had TONS of products ship at least 4 items that I accepted campaigns on that don't show in the Creator Connections Affiliate+ report.
Hell, even some where I can see 30+ of one product shipped out aren't even showing up.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else is seeing stuff like this since the 15th of this month? Hoping it updates soon, otherwise what is the point of Creator Connections anymore if we're driving qualified sales to accepted campaigns and not getting paid out on it? Besides that, it's not Amazon who pays these bonus commissions - it's the sellers themselves.
Wouldn't be surprised if they are charging sellers the Creator Connections rates the sellers approved, then just not paying them out to associates and pocketing it. Who knows anymore 🤷♂️
