Yes. Self orders are allowed but only limited numbers. Only 10 self orders in one year are allowed. More than 10 self orders will not be calculated on the dashboard.
Q: I haven’t gotten the same payment amount as reflected on my dashboard. Why?
This is because your order has either been refunded or cancelled.
Clicks reflect on your dashboard in 48 hours. Every time an order is placed through your link, it is reflected on your
dashboard 6 days after it has been delivered.
Post this, orders can be cancelled, rejected, replaced or returned. These are not reflected on the dashboard keeping
your amount the same which is why in certain situations there is a difference in your dashboard and payment email.
The payment email is your final amount post cancelations, rejections, replacements & returns.
The other situation is when there is a delay in delivery or update from delivery partner. In such situations we sent out
recon emails once in 2 months with all your pending amounts from the previous months.
