# Conversion Status
In order for affiliates to earn commissions from the conversions they generated, each conversion must first be **approved**.
\
\
The approval process involves updating the conversion status to **Approved**. Only commissions from approved conversions will appear under **Available to Payout**, and affiliates can request payouts only for those.
You can also change the default status by going to Campaign → Edit → Tracking and updating the **Default Conversion Status**.

### Statuses
1. **Approved** – Once a conversion is marked as approved, the corresponding commission becomes available for the affiliate to request a payout.
2. **Hold** – A temporary status that keeps the conversion on hold for a predefined time period. If no action is taken during this period, the conversion will be automatically approved once the time expires. (Visible to the affiliate)
3. **Pending** - Commissions for pending conversions are not available yet to the corresponding affiliates, requires manual approval. (Visible to the affiliate)
4. **Denied** - Affiliates will not receive commissions for denied conversions.
5. **Revision** - Commissions for conversions under revision are not available to the corresponding affiliates, requires manual approval. (Conversions are not visible to the affiliate)
6. **Test** - A status for conversions that were made as tests - commissions will not be available for the affiliate. (Visible to the affiliate)

### Updating a Conversion's Status
On your admin dashboard, go to the **Conversions** screen.
Use the available filters to narrow down the results. For example, you can filter by a specific affiliate if you want to review and approve their conversions in bulk.
Click the **Bulk Edit** button, then check the boxes next to the conversions you want to update. Select the desired status, and click the **Apply status change to** button to confirm.
