# Activity

The activity log is the affiliate program's own history: who joined, which stores were referred, what was approved, and when money moved.

## What it records

The lifecycle events across the program: memberships created and approved, referrals attributed, commissions minted and cancelled, payouts generated and marked paid.

Because commissions are minted by a nightly sweep rather than by someone clicking, this log is where an affiliate's "why did I earn this" question gets answered chronologically, next to the [commissions ledger](/affiliate-commissions) that answers it per amount.

## What to use it for

* **Verifying an attribution**: a referral that produced no commission usually means the [minimum plan value](/affiliate-program) gate or the duration window, and the sequence here shows which.
* **Reconstructing a payout**: what was included, when it was generated, when it was marked paid.
* **Explaining a change**: a member moved between [groups](/affiliate-groups), so their rate changed from that point on.
