Once orders have been placed and matured, the affiliate can request a payout. Admins will be notified, and can respond to the request.

Client Interface

1. When a client visits their Affiliate page, they should have the option to request a withdrawal (subject to the configured settings limiting withdrawals)
   • Some consideration may need to be made about withdrawal requests so that the affiliate cannot repeatedly request the maximum amount even though it could only be fulfilled once. TBD The simple solution is to allow only 1 payment request at a time
2. An email should be sent to admins about the withdrawal request submission, and it should be recorded for view by admins
3. Simultaneously, an email should also be sent to the client about the withdrawal request being received

Staff Interface

1. Any withdrawal requests should be visible on the Clients > Affiliates page under the second tab regarding Payouts
   • Any payout requests should be listed, past or present, along with their status. They can be categorized under Pending/Approved/Declined links
2. Staff should be able to modify the payout request and change values
   • They can change the withdrawal amount/currency, and set the status
   • If marked approved, the payout request will be deemed "fulfilled", and the withdrawal amount will be decremented from the affiliate's available running total
     • Note: ensure the currency is accurate or currency-conversion takes place on the amount
