Commission partners
Commission partners pay publishers, creators and Agents a share of the collected, net-of-refund revenue they bring, after the refund window.
Commission partners pay publishers, creators and Agents a share of the revenue they bring. The share is computed on collected, net-of-refund revenue after the refund window, so a reversed sale never pays out.
