Who is this article for?
This article will be useful to you if you are a partner on PartnerStack looking to use Reporting to get an in-depth look at how your partnerships are performing and where your commissions are coming from.
Reporting gives you the ability to view and download comprehensive data on your earned commissions, where the commissions are coming from, and a lot more. This can help you learn what is working well and what isn't so that you can improve your performance.
To find Reporting, log into your PartnerStack account and click the "Reporting" tab in your top menu bar.
If you're looking for statistics specific to one of your programs, check out your program's Performance tab.
Reporting dashboard overview
The Reporting tab Dashboard overview gives you a quick look at some important program statistics:
- Unpaid Signups: a count of unpaid customers in the selected timeframe
- Paid Customers: a count of paid customers in the selected timeframe
- Transaction Total: a sum of all transactions (revenue) made by your customers in the selected timeframe
- Commissions Total: a sum of all commissions earned in the selected timeframe
The graph shows the above data points in chart form, by the selected timescale, timeframe, and program. If no filter is applied, it will use monthly as the default timescale and the last 6 months as the default timeframe for all programs you are partnered with.
The dashboard overview table shows the following data:
- Created at date, according to selected timescale and timeframe. Currently, the date shows the first of the month, but it is in reference to all data from that month.
- Leads submitted
- Deals submitted
- Unpaid signups
- Unique paid signups (aka unique customers)
- Transactions
- Commissions (count of commissions)

Data in the Dashboard overview updates every 15 minutes.
