About Commission Factory

Commission Factory is an affiliate and performance marketing network based in Sydney, Australia, and part of the Awin group. The platform connects online retailers (advertisers) with affiliates, influencers, and content publishers who promote their products and earn commissions on tracked sales, leads, or other actions. Advertisers use Commission Factory’s software to manage affiliate programs, track conversions in real time, generate reports, and handle commission payouts, while publishers use it to find campaigns to promote and receive earnings through the network.

A Commission Factory charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to fees for running an affiliate program as an advertiser. This can include monthly network fees, pre-paid advertising balances, settlement of commissions owed to publishers, or invoice payments processed via credit/debit card instead of bank transfer. In some cases, you might see a charge after upgrading your account’s billing method, paying an initial onboarding or setup fee, or settling outstanding invoice balances; publishers typically do not pay fees to Commission Factory and instead receive payments.

If you’re unsure about a Commission Factory charge, start by logging into your advertiser account and reviewing the Billing, Invoices, or Transactions section to match the amount and date with an invoice or automatic payment. Check recent emails from Commission Factory for receipts, invoice PDFs, or payment confirmations sent to your company’s billing contact. If you still have questions, contact their support team through the Help/Support section of your dashboard or via the contact form at commissionfactory.com, providing the last four digits of the card, charge amount, and date (but never your full card number). Common issues—such as duplicate payments, cancelled cards, or incorrect billing contacts—are usually resolved by updating your billing details, confirming your plan, or requesting an invoice review or refund where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a charge from Commission Factory on my business credit card?

Commission Factory charges typically relate to advertiser (merchant) accounts paying network fees, commission settlements, or topping up a pre-paid balance. If your company runs an affiliate program with Commission Factory, this charge is likely tied to an invoice or auto‑payment configured in your billing settings. Log into your advertiser dashboard and check the Billing or Invoices section to match the exact amount and date. If you don’t recognize the charge, ask your finance or marketing team whether they’ve recently set up or managed a Commission Factory account.

How does Commission Factory’s billing work for advertisers?

Advertisers are generally billed based on performance (commissions and possibly overrides or network fees) and, in some cases, a recurring platform fee depending on the commercial agreement. Payments can be made via credit/debit card or bank transfer, and many advertisers enable automatic card billing for monthly invoices or top‑ups. The exact fees and billing schedule for your account are outlined in your commercial terms and visible in the Billing or Invoices area of your dashboard. Publishers (affiliates) do not pay subscription fees; they receive payouts from Commission Factory instead.

What are common Commission Factory charge amounts I might see?

Common charge amounts reflect invoice totals for commissions plus any applicable network or management fees, so they may not be round numbers (e.g., AUD 247.36, AUD 1,025.80). Some programs operate on pre‑paid or deposit models, so you may see larger, less frequent charges when you top up your balance. Your exact amounts will match invoices available in your Commission Factory advertiser account under Billing/Invoices. If a charge amount doesn’t align with any invoice, contact support with the transaction details for clarification.

How can I cancel or pause my Commission Factory billing or program?

To cancel or pause billing as an advertiser, log in and go to your Program or Account Settings, then review options to pause your affiliate program, disable auto‑payments, or change your payment method. You should also notify your account manager or support to confirm any contractual notice periods and to ensure no new transactions are approved while the program is paused. Pausing your program may stop new affiliate activity but you may still be responsible for commissions already tracked and approved. Always download your final reports and invoices before fully closing an account.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Commission Factory charge?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly, first compare the charge with invoices and activity in your advertiser dashboard. If there’s still a discrepancy, contact Commission Factory support through your account’s Help/Support section or via the contact form on commissionfactory.com, including the charge date, amount, currency, and your account ID. They can review whether the charge corresponds to an invoice, automatic top‑up, or commission settlement and advise on eligibility for a refund or credit. Avoid initiating a bank chargeback before speaking with support, as that can delay resolution and impact your account status.

Why do I see a small or temporary Commission Factory charge on my statement?

You may see a small, temporary authorization when you first add or update a credit card in your Commission Factory advertiser account. This is a standard payment gateway check to verify that the card is valid and active; the hold is usually for a small amount and automatically reverses within a few business days. It should not post as a final charge. If a small authorization remains pending for an unusually long time, contact your bank and then reach out to Commission Factory support for confirmation.

I’m an affiliate/publisher—should I ever see a Commission Factory charge?

Affiliates and publishers generally do not pay fees to Commission Factory; instead, they receive payouts from the network. If you’re a publisher and see a Commission Factory charge, verify that you haven’t accidentally added a card as an advertiser or created a separate advertiser account under the same email. Log in and check whether you have both advertiser and publisher profiles. If you still can’t identify the charge, contact support with your account email and the transaction details for investigation.

How can I contact Commission Factory about a billing or charge question?

The fastest way is through the Help or Support section inside your Commission Factory dashboard, where you can submit a ticket directly linked to your account. You can also reach out via the contact form at commissionfactory.com, selecting Billing or Accounts as the topic so it routes to the right team. Include your business name, account ID, charge date and amount, and the last four digits of the card used (never send full card details). This information helps them quickly locate the transaction and respond with a clear explanation or next steps.
