Order status and commissions

AliExpress walks every order through a fixed set of states, from the moment the buyer pays to the moment the commission lands in your account. The Status column on the Orders page shows where each order is in that journey — and the Commission column changes meaning depending on which status the order is in.

The four statuses

• Payment Completed — the buyer has paid. The commission shown is an estimate based on the current rate; nothing is locked in yet.
• Buyer Confirmed Receipt — the buyer has confirmed delivery. AliExpress has started the settlement process; the commission is still estimated until settlement closes.
• Completed Settlement — settlement is done. Commission is final, paid out by AliExpress according to their schedule, and counted toward your earnings.
• Invalid — the order is not eligible for commission. Common reasons: refund, dispute, fraud risk, or a buyer who never confirmed receipt within the AliExpress window.

Estimated vs settled commission

The Commission column shows the AliExpress-reported estimate while the order is still in flight. Once the order reaches Completed Settlement, that figure is the final amount AliExpress will pay you for the sale. Treat the totals on the summary tiles accordingly: anything that includes Payment Completed or Buyer Confirmed Receipt rows is a forecast, not a guarantee.

How the numbers are calculated

• Amount — what the buyer paid, in the order's currency. Some currencies show as cents in the raw API response; Afflow converts them so the number you see is always in major units (USD, EUR, ILS, etc.).
• Commission — your earnings, always shown in USD for consistency across countries.
• Commission rate — the percentage AliExpress applied to this specific order, shown under the commission amount. The same product can have different rates depending on whether the seller ran a hot promotion at the time of purchase.
