Earnings Upgrade Walkthrough

What Is This Update?

We’ve upgraded Creator Data Compass and Affiliate Orders to improve commission data accuracy and transparency.
Previously, commission figures shown in Data Compass could differ from those shown in Affiliate Orders due to different data sources and calculation logic.
With this update:

• Both surfaces now use the same commission data source
• Commission metrics follow the same calculation logic
• Commission numbers will now match across all of your dashboards (Data Compass and Affiliate Orders)

This update is designed to give you a more consistent and reliable view of your earnings.
