CAKE payout clawback is not Digistore clawback
CK clawback % is the slice of CAKE affiliate payouts that reverse after they clear on one network pay run. Reversed dollars count. Every posted CAKE payout sits under.
Pair: Payout-clawback share on Traffic. Vendor twin: Digistore payout-clawback. Hold twin: payout-hold.
What you type
Clawed-back payout $ — CAKE affiliate dollars reversed after they cleared in the pay run.
Total payout $ — Every CAKE affiliate payout posted in that same pay run.
CK clawback % = reversed ÷ posted × 100. A fat CK clawback % usually means refunded conversions or fraud on loud affiliates — freeze those subids. Never invent a CK clawback chip.
What not to do
Do not invent CK clawback %. Do not drop a Digistore or RedTrack clawback CSV into CAKE fields. Do not count held or pending affiliate pay as reversed. Do not blend networks when one offer owns the reversals.
